I am totally chill and simply trying to provide another perspective to what I am calling the 'leading sheep to slaughter' approach being advocated on so many of these threads. I simply don't get why people can't be honest and say meet as many people in the system as you can first semester and then put a plan in place to find the house where you will feel most comfortable. The person that stated only 30% of the pnms will end up in the 'top 3' is really misleading people as that stat implies that its an open process for all. The reality is that for the most part lists are now done and really don't change that much. When I say lists don't change that much I'm saying maybe by 1-2 people. I believe there is a house for most people that want a house. I'm just not sure most people really understand the process and so set unrealistic expectations and are hurt unnecessarily. It would be an interesting math process to put a probability on a place in the 'top 3'. Without doing the math though my guess is that its a low probability for most. I don't think this is at all a bad thing. I just think it is what it is and I think its better for people to understand the environment they are operating within in a realistic way.
