It would be desirable if the mentor assignment notification indicated if the 
student is currently 
above or below that other organization's cutoff/request line.  This would let 
other orgs know if 
the student is a backup or would otherwise not make the cut, or whether they 
are desireable and 
a discussion with the other org and/or student is in order.

We had a student that was in conflict with another organization.   We discussed 
the conflict with 
student and the other organization, and we conceeded the student to the other 
org.  Our 
organization then delisted the student and down-ranked them.  When the final 
results were 
posted, the student is not accepted to either organization, just missing the 
other organization's 
cutoff by one slot.

Apparently, the situation was an oversight due to last day 
resortings/reprioritization by the other 
org, but the end result was a student falling through the cracks.  Had we known 
he wasn't going 
to make the other organization, even on the last day, we would have considered 
them for our 
slot allocation.  Even through acceptances, though, all our org can see is that 
they have a mentor 
assigned.  The end results was that the student was left out in the cold 
thinking that they were 
accepted by the other org (the conflict resolution did, after all, involve 
them) and they outright 
regretted that they submitted two applications instead of just one.

A simple indication of above/below the line might have prevented this.
