Everyone gets a bid?

Also, setting quota does not = not all the PNMs going through won't get bids. Quota is determined by the number of PNMs in Recruitment, so it doesn't make sense to me that it would be set on purpose so that PNMs wouldn't get bids. It doesn't mean that there won't be PNMs who don't get bids, but from my experience it's not specifically set that way - hence Quota Additions.

You might find my wording "inaccurate" but PNMs have enough to worry about without all the numbers coming into play. The girl wasn't asking about the inner-workings of Panhel and quota and total and bid matching, she was simply asking if all girls going through would get bids. The answer is most likely no, and yes, quota does matter in that. You're right that quota is dependent on the number of girls rushing, but what hasn't been mentioned is the fact that there are suicides and girls who drop, ultimately throwing off quota.

I just didn't find it necessary to explain why the answer was no and frankly I don't appreciate your judgement on my explanation.
