I see what you’re saying, but I do think there is a distinct difference that isn’t being taken into account. Placement numbers are determined by the women who sign MRABA’s and get a bid, they don’t include women who dropped out because they didn’t like their houses, but they also don’t include women who are completely released. Those women still exist. Whether it’s grades, Recs or bad reputation sometimes women who maxed their options don’t make it to preference round. In my opinion that’s where the distinction between “competitive” and “non-competitive” comes into play. Take this with a grain of salt because I did not attend a “competitive” school, but my school also only ever had 1 total release (didn’t meet NPC grade requirement) in the four years I was there. At another “competitive” school that’s more common and a reality PNM’s face and need to be prepared for, which explains why PNM’s at more competitive schools need to prepare more to ensure they’ve lessened that likelihood significantly.
