That guarantee is a result of NPC's RFM procedures, not an A & M specific one. So that attending pref and signing a bid card is a guarantee that you will get a bid to one of the groups whose pref you attended. Well, unless, of course, one strips or shows up drunk or high to pref...that can get you dropped. but all things being equal, you'll be one someone's bid list no matter what school you attend. No one was "turned away" due to the numbers. Women are released due to grade and other "considerations." And of course, there are always those women who drop out, even on Bid Day, for various reasons. But Indiana is the only school with a bed quota that requires so many women to be released due to lack of space.
