THere are no longer quota additions as we used to know them. Auburn does use ICS for their recruitment so bids are computer matched. RFM allows for a "quota range" to be initially set. Once all the cards and lists are in, the computer program adjusts that so that the maximum number of women are placed - without regard for the original lowest number in the quota range. So it is incorrect to say that someone had to snap bid to quota in this case.
Quota, in RFM, is a floating number that is used to ensure that all women, if possible, are placed. Under RFM, the only women left with no bids are the ones who single preference if they can list more when their choice is equalizd with everyone else. The program penalizes you if you do that. The only time that doesn't happen is if the campus guarantees everyone at pref a bid. In that scenario, they will place you where you want. Most campuses do not do that as the whole purpose is to get you to maximize your choices and keep your options open. In other words, everything you knew about quota setting and quota additions before RFM, toss it out the window. It no longer is relevant.
