It's one thing to bring her back and give her another chance, but I would rather do that earlier in recruitment, not on the day when she will end up somewhere on my bid list and probably on no one else's!
We're not talking about a PNM that they ranked as low as possible - we're talking about someone who was, oh, #205 when they could only invite back 200. And if the GA is asking you to do this, I would also assume that she's giving you a "freebie" - i.e. adding this girl is not going to mean she bumps PNM #34 (or PNM #199) off the bid list.

At huge rushes I think it's more a question of keeping who you like the most, rather than cutting who you like the least, if that makes sense.

Right, this is indeed what I meant. Especially because the difference between #200 and #201 on a list can be totally arbitrary.

The other thing that makes me feel weird about it is that we often have to use the flex minus list at the chapter I work with. So, she may have been ranked somewhat lower on the list than everyone else that comes back. Still, you all are right that we shouldn't put anyone on the flex plus list for pref that we wouldn't want to offer a bid to.
