The 700 figure that she stated was not after preference. I'm sure it was based on the comparison between the number of women who register for recruitment in the Fall semester and the number of women who were placed at the end of recruitment. Unless things are different than they used to be, 1/3 - 1/2 of the women who walk through the doors at 19-party will not join a house in January whether it is because they don't return for the remainder of recruitment, drop out during recruitment week, or don't get a bid after preference night.
I know the OP was talking about total, but there is a huge difference between looking at the total number of PNMs withdrawn/not matched and looking at the number of PNMs withdrawn/not matched after preference. I was clarifying that the 700 was not the number after preference.
