Upperclassmen quota

[psusue]

^^ I kind of get the hint that she is keeping an open mind, because she stated that it's rare even for upperclassmen to be released completely. To me that means she knows that if she keeps an open mind she could very well end up with a bid somewhere.

I looked through some older threads that said this kind of quota does not mean they have to take upperclassmen, so I am rather confused.
Thank you for your responses!

I guess it does sound a little arrogant to say that, though, so please don't take it that way. I'm sorry if I've seemed disrespectful in any way, I genuinely do not mean to :/

I'm not relying on an upperclassmen quota to get a bid, either, so I really hope I did not come across that way haha. I just thought I'd update this since the information I got is inconsistent with most of the info about it on this site. I didn't even ask my friends about it, they just mentioned having to take a certain number of upperclassmen.
But thank you for your responses. I appreciate the advice since I'm fairly new to the whole process

There's more to this story in her previous posts. She's a re-rusher who had sub-par grades which she admits haven't improved that much. With the exception of the house that didn't meet her expectations, everyone dropped her last time, she thinks because of her grades not making the cut. So she dropped out.

Good luck with recruitment, OP.
