SIP = Single Intentional Preference, otherwise known as Suiciding. PNM's who attend pref round are guaranteed a bid if they rank each house they attended on their MRABA card. PNM's who attend two prefs but only put one house down are saying that they will accept a bid from that one house or none at all. This will leave a PNM without a bid to any house for two reasons: if their one preferred house reaches quota before they get to her name she will obviously not get a bid, and also not ranking each house will make her ineligible to be a Quota Addition to either house. Quota Additions guarantee a bid to either house for PNM's who ranked both houses on their card but failed to match to either house. The PNM is guaranteed a bid for Maximizing Her Options, so she is then matched with one of her pref houses even though this puts the house over Quota. Usually she is matched to her first choice preference house, but could also be matched to her second choice based on relative chapter sizes. So SIP, or Suiciding, is very limiting and most often does not work out for the PNM.
