The rationale for the switch is that when you have 3, there is usually one you like the best, another you kind of like, and a 3rd that you're not very interested in at all but are going because it's on your schedule and you're required to, not realizing that there's a very real chance you could get a bid to your #3 because you preffed them. So you get a bid to your 3rd choice and drop out.
Only preffing 2 eliminates that awkward 3rd choice issue.
I've found that there's a downside to it though. In many cases you have to go from 4 parties to 2 instead of 4 to 3. Choosing a top 2 and bottom 2 from 4 is not always easy.

maybe it has to do with the number of chapters at a college and the # of pnms. As Shirley pointed out, Texas and Bama have 3 prefs, as does FSU, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, and I am sure many more that I can't think of right now.
