Bid Matching

Okay...I have a question. My little brother's girlfriend goes to school in Michigan. She asked me about this-and to be honest....I didn't have the answer. Maybe some of you will.

When she was able to rank Sorority A, Sorority B and Sorority C...she chose to do it like this:

1.) A
2.) B
3.) C

She ended up getting C. So, I get the idea that if Sorority A made quota before she was picked up by them-she would not get them but, my question is regarding Sorority B. If she ranked Sorority B second and Sorority C third, and then she got Sorority C-does that mean no matter what-she was going to be a member of Sorority C? She asked me if she had placed Sorority B in the slot for her #1 choice-whether or not she would have gotten a bid to Sorority B or whether or not they already filled their quota before it reached her on the list-so, she still would have ended up with her 3rd choice?

I don't know what to tell her and she's pretty upset. Because I have faith in all of the NPC orgs. I told her to really give Sorority C a chance because she doesn't know if it will be a perfect fit for her or not unless she sticks it out.

Had she placed it like this:
1.) B
2.) A
3.) C

Would she have ended up as a member of Sorority B? The fact that she ended up as a member of Sorority C...pretty much-I'm asking...Does that mean that no matter who she would have put first (either A or B), she would still have received a bid from Sorority C?

Sorry if this is long-any advice?

Maybe yes, maybe no. If quota were 50 and she was ranked #51 or more on Sorority B's list and Sorority B filled quota before reaching her number, then she wouldn't have gotten a bid from Sorority B regardless.

I hope she gives Sorority C a chance. Soon she may wonder why in the world she ranked it 3rd!

it wouldn't have mattered if she had put B in 1st or 2nd. Since the bid matching
moved all the way to her third choice, she never made it onto the first bid list of
either A or B. Both made quota before they reached her name.
