I agree completely that you should put down the groups in the order you are interested.
But I was wondering if getting cross cut was always a myth? I guess I'm kind of a rush/recruitment history student.
I can see how with computer programs, it's unlikely to occur today because the lists can all be run simultaneously. But in the old days of reps from all groups sitting around a table, didn't the order matter more?
(I have this impression that let's say you were on the third list of the group you put first, that your second and third choices, who might have had you on their first lists, were filling up while you were waiting to see how far down your first choice group was going to go. Was your spot on the other groups' lists secure until it was all over?
