I thought we discussed on here before that UT has guaranteed placement (if you maximize, blah blah blah). In other words, if you get to pref, you WILL receive a bid, no exceptions. I don't think that anyone has ever said, intimated or guaranteed that any of the other schools we brought up do the same.

I must not have been paying close enough attention, because I thought that was the end result for all schools that use RFM. That GP a characteristic of it.

New question: is there a "magic percentage" that RFM /specialists work with looking ahead from registration to pref and crunching numbers for return numbers for each round?

For example, at Arkansas (ole miss, too) they surely can see what the numbers are doing each round. And even as they chant "quota range will be determined based on , blah, blah) I have to believe they can see where things are heading. Are they holding to an unspoken rule that no more than 10% will go bid less. Because each year, that is roughly how many drop, are released, etc. Why not 20% or 30%? Why don't they make those big cuts early. Then make another BIG cut in a later round.

But can we say even UT has GP if by their own wording, that a girl has to be to on the bid list? If you only have one pref party and a house chooses to NOT place the girl on the bid list, where is the RFM coordinator going to put her? Are they going to force the sorority's hand?
