I talked to a lot of my nm class after bid day and so many of them marked the top three houses last since they knew they didn't have a chance and wouldn't make friends as fast even if they did. They knew these houses would cut them anyway, so getting their schedules back for round two and seeing almost all of their #1 choices made them more confident moving forward. My roommates and I and a lot of other PNM's without connections in my group and on my floor did not do that. We were devastated to not get those top houses back. (Looking back now, we understand the connections thing, but at the time it was hurtful) We continued with the process and ended up in houses we love, but could have saved ourselves the emotional roller coaster if we would have marked these houses last.
