It seems that some posters who happen to be recruitment advisors, district/national officers, etc., have indicated that at some schools quota is now being determined in a different manner. Instead of the simple division, a "quota range" is determined either before or after pref parties (can't remember which) and then the computer goes through and determines what exact number in the range places the most girls. So for example:
500 PNMs at Pref
10 houses
Quota range at pref may be 45-50.
If the most women get placed with quota at 47, then those 470 women are placed. After that the other 30 (or those that maximized their options) are placed with quota additions.
Again, somehow the computer figures out that more women get a bid with this as quota than with 49 or 50.
At least that is how I think I have read it.

How would more girls possibly be placed with a smaller quota? Or maybe it is designed that nobody would fall short of quota?
