I think you all make good points. If she's on our flex add list, then we were comfortable having her somewhere on our bid list. I think as long as I put her last on the pref list, I'd be comfortable. I just would want to make sure she doesn't get an advantage over anyone we wanted more.

One question... let's say we're only going to get 5 QAs based on decisions the GA is going to make. I'd rather have 5 other women we wanted more than her, but she can only get a bid from us. So, will she bump out one of the other 5 QAs we wanted more? As long as the GA guarantees us she will be a free quota addition on bid day too, I'd be comfortable.

Again, I'm pretty sure this happens already with QAs. If a woman has only XYZ left at pref, she will end up as a QA to XYZ. If some other woman has XYZ and ABC, in that order, it's entirely possible that she could get placed at ABC to give XYZ and ABC one QA each, even though the second woman is higher on XYZ's bid list.

Also, it's been my experience that ranking women on a final bid list comes down to the slimmest of margins, once you get past the top "rush crushes".

(I suppose it would be a problem if the woman who was returned to your chapter was a legacy, and you had the legacies-first policy)
