No bid from preference after Preference round?
by: Bid?Just wondering, is it uncommon to not receive a bid from my top preference after the final round? It feels like it would be weird to make it that far, have what seems like a good meeting with my top pick in Preference Round, and then not get a bid. Does anyone know how common it is? Just wondering how much I need to worry over the next two days.

If you listed all your options after pref round (so you listed both if you had 2 or whichever house you preffed if you had 1) then congrats, you are guaranteed a bid! That's why Rho Gams emphasize maximizing options so much. If you only listed 1 of your 2 houses, you are not guaranteed a bid and, because of how the methodology works, are more likely to be dropped (methodology penalizes only listing 1 bc of quota additions).

Gotcha. So, since you listed both, the system gives greater emphasis to your top ranked house. If the connections seemed pretty strong, there is a really good chance you will get your #1 house! You generally only get your second house if A) your #1 house ranked a lot of PNMs who also listed your #1 house as their #1 higher than you in their list AND B) your #2 house ranked you fairly high in their bid list OR C) your #2 house did not have a lot of PNMs rank them #1.
So, you have a very good chance! And worst case scenario, you still end up in a fantastic house that thought very highly of you. Good luck! :)

Thank you. I listed two. Was more just wondering what the odds of it being the top one are versus the second choice. It is very complicated!
