It's not so much that PNMs are getting cut the first day, but there are high numbers of very well-prepared PNMs with very similar stats (good grades, etc.)

That's what makes things competitive for the PNM. Alot of times, PNMs are coming from being the Big Fish in their high school. Then they get to recruitment at Huge Southern University, and realize that everyone in their group was a Big Fish in high school.

Similarly, alot of these Big Fish want to be in certain chapters. Due to the new-ish Release Figures Methodology that's being used, these chapters can only take so many girls.

So there are heavy cuts early on. I wouldn't say that alot of girls get dropped completely that first day, but many PNMs who thought they were Big Fish quickly find out that they are not when their schedules are either not full or missing the chapters she is most interested in.
