I still would not lump them with Indiana, even though it is a strange system.

I know there are some Nebraska folks on here who can clarify, but Nebraska has some quirky formula where Lincoln girls are "free" and the remainder are bed rush or something like that. The difference between Nebraska and Indiana is that PNMs aren't suffering due to the odd formula. Placement numbers at Nebraska have consistently remained very high.

As for the speculation that this is the very, very, special snowflake guaranteed placement school, I don't think so. It just expanded (NPC) this week.

Thanks for the clarification.

Pretty much this. As I understand it, NU uses RFM and quota additions are allowed (which use to include – or maybe still does – the “free” Lincoln girls, but not limited to just Lincoln girls now). The bottom line is that while each chapter has a say in their own quota (based on the number of beds), if a PNM “plays the game” (attends all the parties she is invited to, list all preference chapters etc.) she should be extended a bid.
