So she's waiting for the call that she lost D or planning to go to Bid Day pick up.
She gets a call, she didn't match and did not get house D, but House A who she did not pref (because she was cut) has extended her a bid.
Here is where I'm confused...House A is a highly selective house that cut drastically throughout rush. Yes, she would love to be in house A, she loved them from the beginning. What happened? Was this where RFM made some of the houses cut too drastically and they didn't make quota? I've never seen this happen before and not with this particular house. My pnm is thrilled and really confused, as am I, so that is why she knows as she had to go to the office and fill something out.
Your girl was picked up in a snap bid. Seems weird that this is now the 2nd big school that seems to have chapters not making quota using RFM. Interesting.

House A may be a very strong recruiting house. RFM is targeting a quota of say 50 so their releases all week reflect that number along with their statistical information from the last 3 years. RFM then ups quota say even 10 to 60 OR Chapter has a bad preference, but doesn't end up matching as many women and viola no quota for a strong Chapter. Weird, but true. I just lived it.
