We might have passed along if Suzy walked in and said OMG YOU ARE MY FAVORITE at the top of her lungs before she'd met us.
PNMs should just trust their own judgment, reading this thread they'd not have a clue of what to actually say.

Aboslutely. I heard many reports of it as a recruitment counselor, but actually heard it happen first hand both as an active and recently as an alum with three different PNMs...and of course I knew RCs who did talk to their chapters during recruitment rules be damned, and "I only want XYZ" got passed along that way, too. It's a small campus, and the fact is, people talk. Personally, I think the motivation is that if Suzy says she only wants XYZ after round 1 and XYZ passes that along, she'll be dropped from just about everyone else, pretty much guaranteeing that XYZ gets her. But obviously I don't know for sure the why, just that it does happen.
Though many of us have different opinions, I think the bottom line is don't pull the "I only want XYZ" unless it's pref and you mean it (in other words, when it's too late to be cut). There are too many chances that a statement like that could end up limiting a PNMs choices, otherwise.
