No - the point of promising bids is to try and ensure that the most girls will put XYZ as their first choice. No one knows the placement on bid lists - just the advisors. But what happens is that if 100 girls all put XYZ as 1st, then XYZ pretty much knows it can make quota. The problem with this is - Susie Q. puts XYZ as her first choice (and sometimes as the only choice) thinking she has a bid, and then XYZ doesn't pick her because she if further down on their bid list, and they've already got their 50 girls (or whatever is quota - I'm just making these numbers up). Its very confusing to explain - but Barbara always does a good job. Check out her other threads about bid list placement too.
