Thank you to the GC posters!

Your story of your experience almost perfectly matched my DD2 recruitment story this year. If it had not been for this website, we would have been lost and upset when she had 1 (her favorite) for preference!!

I recognize this campus as my own and also thrilled she found her home!

Congrats to you and your daughter, too!

Having your favorite and only your favorite is maybe the best possible world under RFM. You are guaranteed a bid if you finish the process and maximize your options and since you only have that one house left, you are guaranteed a bid to them. Everybody gets cut down to one house on bid day, but there can be a lot of anxiety before the bids are handed out. If you have only one house left for pref and you love it, all that anxiety is over. You know where you are going.

If you only have one house left at pref and you don't want a bid from them, you have time to think it over, withdraw from recruitment, and focus your attention elsewhere or plan for COB. It's much better than signing a bid card and getting a bid that you won't take.
