It does help even out the size as the larger, more successful groups are required to release more women earlier on in the process. I know of at least two groups at Albama that had to go from 800 to 300 in one day. That's a huge number to release but it let's the women know wher they stand much earlier. Used to soome groups would carry a lot of women up to pref just to inflate their numbers and it was not fair to the women that they didn;t invite back at the end. And with RFM, they do a quota range which allows the computer to run several scenarios and chose the one that places the most women. If you add to that the premise that all who maximize their opportunities will get a bid or that the university will place all who do so no matter what, then you get these larger numbers beyond quota...which is what happened in loveinxi's comment as I know that campus and belong to the group that took the 11 over quota. The old Quota Addition formula is no longer in use when a campus does RFM - which they all are supposed to be doing now.
