I agree that women drop because they didn't get their favorites and that is a problem.
However, even if all women maximized their options on this campus, many women would be left out in the cold. Please don't blame the victims for the current situation at IU. They need a system where the number of bids is based on the number of women participating.

No one is "blaming the victims" in this thread. Read carefully, please. What AOII Angel is stating is that eliminating bed quota =/= all the pnms get their top choice(s). That won't be the case. What it does mean (eliminating bed quota) is that, per RFM, quota will be set based on the # of women signing MRABAs divided by the number of chapters (did I state that correctly, AZ-AlphaXi?). That's a far cry from the present system, where there is no quota per se.

Actually, when using RFM, quota is set using the number of PNMs who sign MRABA forms .. so women who attend preference but don't sign MRABA forms aren't counted into quota.
