. . . I just am thinking that you could consider my school competative if you only wanted a few of the 16 houses. At my school almost everyone got bids. However, pproblems occured when PNM's only wanted ABC or DEF then they have to comptet for one of 60 spots open instead of say the other 420 spots that are open.

First: "would I get a bid if I made it through preffs" ? -- It depends. For instance, a few months ago there was a thread with several posts about LSU (Louisiana State University). There, evidently, according to the posts, it
IS possible to make it through preference and still not get a bid. At other schools, even in the SEC, someone who makes it through preference
will get a bid, though not necessarily to her #1 choice.
Second, "problems . . . when . . . they have to compete for one of 60 spots open instead of say the other 420 spots . . . ." Exactly! Some great young women can make it much more difficult for themselves if they limit their options that way. But it's their choice -- we just hope it's an informed one.
