Oh I know, and that's why I didn't really direct my comment to you. But to the untrained reader, your post could be interpreted to mean that this year more hearts were broken than ever. There is so much misunderstanding of recruitment and numbers - people posting on GC that omg 1000 PNMs and only 600 spots - cuts will be brutal! I just want to reinforce that more PNMs means MORE girls get placed (raw numbers), and yes, more get cut/withdraw, but the percentages stay roughly the same.
