I don't think shotgun snapping is ever really going to work, but what's kind of exceptional about the quota additions thing is that the girls actually preffed and listed all the groups.
So, at your campus, had QAs existed and PNMS preffed that smaller group, the smaller group would have filled up as much as possible just in regular bid matching because they would have listed the chapter. I don't know if they would have seen it through, but girls wouldn't be getting snap bid calls from groups that they didn't even pref.
On a different note, I really love how much Auburn tries to tell PNMs and their families everything that they can. I was looking for information about guaranteed placement, and Auburn doesn't have it either, contrary to my misguided beliefs.
But they tell parents that of the 195 pnms since 1998 who did not match at bid matching, over 160 of them would have matched had they listed all the groups that they preffed.
So basically at Auburn of the tiny number of girls who mismatch, which is less that 3% of the girls who pref, only 18% of that group went bidless after maximizing their options. (.54 of the in the running for bids after prefs?) So over 99% of the girls who list all the groups on their bid cards get bids.
