Ok fine.... “they didn’t place her high enough”.

Good clarification, IndianaSK, I haven’t read the whole thread, so I need to?

If a group "requires" legacies to be on the "first bid list" they would be at the top of the computer matching list.

I believe the university in this case is a very large state school that would NOT be hand matching. That is why I answered the way I did @Forrest Gump.

I figured as much! Mostly schools that have fewer NPC chapters and/or fewer pnm's/lower quotas still do hand matching.

Many fewer...I live near 5 campuses that have about 6 chapters each - and they all do computerized recruitment..

Out of all the small bumble EF schools out in the middle of PA, there isn't one that doesn't use computer bid matching. it's pretty rare nowadays.

I’m only aware of one school that uses hand matching right now. They only have 2 chapters on campus and even moving to a bid matching formally and quota/ total was an awesome huge jump for them a few years ago.
