Let it be known that you are open to all houses...
So she'd have to lie about her intentions? If chapters (esp New York, Barcelona, and LA) remember her from the past year, wouldn't saying "I'm open to any house" contradict the way she ranked houses before? Why can't she "be herself" and be clear about where she's interested in? If anything, if I was a NY sister and she took a bid from my house after she was offered one the year before... Well I think its kinda like begging. She said no before, why ask again?

Rush is a mutual selection-houses don't have to be open to every PNM and conversely PNMs shouldn't have to be open to every house, especially since OP has already cut (and had been cut) from most houses.

I just think the whole "just try NY you may fall in love" is not setting the OP (or any PNM for success. That's like going out with a guy you don't really like because he keeps asking you out and calling. Its like "you got a bid from one house, so you should take it."
