Bid Matching Question

[Griffins&Quills]

At my campus we physically wrote down our choices and I suppose it was entered into the computer. I've heard some other campuses PNMs directly enter their choices into the computer. Not sure if we do this now, but IMO that's a better way.

Ours was a scantron.

Scan like when you vote.....

Everywhere I have worked with since 2010 has physically entered straight into ICS/CampusDirector.

Where I volunteer the PMNs enter their choices into the computer (ICS) AND write their selections on the MRABA form.

Jane ought to be focusing on getting to know the girls in A and not pestering the girls in B. Recruitment is now a thing of the past for her.

This is going to sound horrible, but 99.9% of those "computer glitch" stories are lies.

My favorite computer glitch story I ever heard was when I was a collegian. A girl was like "I would have been an XY, but the computer accidentally skipped all the names of girls starting with M."

WHAT.

My recruitment actually had a glitch, and you know what? THEY WENT BACK AND FIXED IT. Nobody is going to say, "oops, computer glitch, you are all SOL!"

This. The people running Recruitment go back and fix the computer glitch. Even if everything has to be checked by hand and re-entered.

This. Between advising and my full time job working with recruitment, I've probably been to about 100 or so recruitments. I have only ever seen one true computer issue (a chapter had a girl on their first bid list, didn't match quota, and yet this girl didn't get placed. We of course caught that immediately upon receiving bid lists) 99% of the time it isn't a computer issue, and if it is, they'd fix.

99% of the time the young woman isn't telling the truth. That being said I didn't see if we've ever heard back from OP. With only 3 chapters, if they are small enough, are they using ICS? Human error with hand bid matching is much more likely in my experience.

They might be 3 quite large chapters with a large amount of women rushing. The OP said they are using software rather than hand matching.
