Also, new scenario.
Scenario 6
PNM4 unfortunately had a pretty bad day on pref night. She slightly insulted the sisters and was acting generally weird. She was invited to Delta and Epsilon and chose to rank Delta then Epsilon. However because of her disastrous parties, Delta ranks her #30 and Epsilon ranks her #40. Because my school has a guaranteed "you go to pref you get a bid," where would PNM4 go? I assume this is what "cross cutting" is. Does the Rho Chi call PNM4 to offer her a chance to accept a snap bid at Alpha? Will PNM4 be offered a bid to Delta as a quota addition because she ranked them #1? Under what circumstances are quota additions utalized, after bid matching or during?
Or will the bid matching program "remove" all the girls on Delta's and Epsilon's lists who have been matched elsewhere and see on which one PNM4 ends up highest? For instance, after removing all the girls who have been bid matched, on Delta's list she is #7 but on Epsilon's list she is #15. Where will she go?

Today with RFM, that rarely happens (unless it's Indiana). Today the PNM would most likely be a quota addition to either Delta or Epsilon, depending on which method the campus uses to determine QAs.

The PNM in question would not be eligible for a snap bid. Since she maximized her options and there is a 'guaranteed "you go to pref you get a bid' rule in place for this theoretical school she would not go bidless. You can't bid someone who already has a bid from Formal recruitment.
