Auburn Recruitment 2012

[Titchou]

With RFM, if you have a full schedule at pref you cannot go bidless UNLESS you SIP. If you go to all 3 and put all 3 on your card, you will get a bid at Auburn. Guaranteed placement means that no matter what you do, if you sign up for recruitment, they'll put you somewhere. I think there are only 1 or 2 places that do that. Everywhere else that uses RFM - and that's most campuses - as long as you "maximize your options" - you will get a bid.

No, I'm not talking about guaranteed bidding that's offered at Tufts. There are still schools that use RFM where a PNM can attend all her pref parties and still not receive a bid. Not every school that uses RFM guarantees a bid. I'm under the impression that this can happen at Auburn. Any people who advise at Auburn here who can offer any insight?
