how likely is it to get a snap bid from a top hous

That won't happen. They make deep cuts at the start because they know women will want to return to their house. Their returns will be consistently high, meaning 90-95% of the women they invite to their parties will return.

If you were cut by a top house, you are done with them. I can't see them offering snap bids. What is the deal with so many women wanting o know about snap bids this year?! It's not something anyone really had talked about in years past. The only houses that will be offering snaps are lower tier houses that need to get their quota's up. If a chapter is low on numbers (maybe they had a large graduating class or members are studying abroad, they can COB at any time.)

Being released early from top houses is actually a positive thing. It doesn't give PNM's false hope and allows them to explore other houses that might might have cut earlier.
