So, if she got GHI, that means that she wasn't high enough on ABC or DEF? If she would have written off GHI completely and just wrote ABC or DEF, does that mean she would have gone bidless?

If you are agreeing that my initial belief was right and she would have gone bidless, then I think I am much better at this than I thought and I did not give her the wrong information. Also, with this same scenario, she really liked DEF better than ABC but, she let the tent talk get to her and ranked the more popular ABC as her number 1 and DEF as her number 2. If she would have ranked it like this:

(1.) DEF (less popular than ABC)
(2.) ABC
(3.) GHI
then what? Would she have gotten DEF or still go to GHI?

(or)

(1.) DEF (less popular than ABC)
(2.) ABC
(3.) --------
and completely dropped GHI, would she have gotten DEF?


She got GHI. I was bummed she got dropped from my organization but, I have told her to stick it out because GHI obviously wanted her and she should be thankful. I'm just trying to understand the logistics of it because if I can go back and say, "See, either way you would have gotten GHI or nothing so be thankful" I feel like she may be more open-minded to staying.


Thanks for your input.
