change in pref

by: so   

how will the change of having 2 houses max on pref as opposed to how it used to be with 3 change things? like will it be more common for girls to just have 1 house on pref? i know when i rushed it was most common for girls to have 2 houses on pref and girls who had 3 tended to be the "more sought after" pnms.

Bump, I’d rather not have only one house at pref

I loved having only one house at Pref. I knew where I was going, while girls around me were freaking out about what would happen on bid day. I suppose it helped that I loved the house I had left, but it was a relief!

Most schools only have 2 at pref, and I believe panhel (like other schools did when they made the change) looked back at matching in past years and found it was unlikely that a PNM got her third ranked house, so it was mostly unnecessary to have that third party. Based on how it goes at other schools with large recruitments, all the two party PNMs are not suddenly going to be 1 party PNMs. They'll remain 2 party PNMs.

I loved having 3 houses. I loved each one going into pref and I loved having choices. Not knowing what house you get is apart of the excitement of bid day. Idk I feel like 3 houses worked well for us because of the number of houses we have

Having three really helped me because my opinion of the house I had ranked as third going into the round completely changed and it became my top choice. Going from eight to three was hard enough, I cant imagine going from eight to two.

okay but so how is this going to translate into this years rush and years following? like is it going to be more common for girls to have 1 house? because now having 2 houses will be a full schedule.

PNM's are worried because they think that one less pref house equates to less available pref invitations, but it doesn't work like that. This won't affect the houses issuing invitations; they will issue pref invitations at the same rate as always, based on numbers of PNM's attendance and rates during the past few years. Two prefs instead of three will not affect your chances of getting a bid!

I think it's better. You know where you stand more.

Picking your favorite of three and not getting because you were low on their list is worse than two choices.

It kind of rules out a house where you still may not have a good chance.
