We've had this discussion before, but I think in the effort to mother a girl into doing the right thing, they massage the wording a little. The system doesn't "kick you out" in a way that any of us would use that phrase (you didn't fill out the form correctly so it doesn't even look at the card). Girl would either have gotten her last choice if she'd listed all 3 OR she could have been a quota addition to one of the other 2 if she had listed all of her options. However, I'm not a fan of listing all 3 just so you can be a quota addition to only 1 or 2 of them. Although it COULD work, you've shot yourself in the foot if it doesn't. But the computer didn't deny her a place in one of her 2 preferred houses. The houses did that, it just sounds more palatable to blame it on the computer.
