Quota is not increased after bid day. A chapter may have a sudden spot to fill through COB because a pledge drops, but it's not because ISC increased quota, and having pledges drop is not something the chapter or ISC wants. If they didn't make quota and they were your first choice you would have a bid there. If your first choice had snap bids to give you would have gotten a bid there. The way the computer matches it is not possible: It goes thorough XYZ's 1st list, and if A also lists them first, A gets a bid. If B lists ABC first, it goes onto C, and so on until they have reach the end of XYZ's 1st list. It then goes onto ABC. If B is not on their first list, she is set aside for the moment. Once it has gone through every chapter's 1st list it starts with the 2nd lists. If ABC has 10 spots still to fill and B is in the first 10 on their 2nd list, she will get a bid to ABC. If ABC's quota is filled before reaching B on the 2nd list, she will receive a bid to XYZ because she was on their first list. If B is not on either chapter's 1st list and they both meet quota before reaching her on the 2nd list, she becomes a quota addition to one of the two chapters, and that's a complicated calculation that the computer does based on a bunch of factors. Snap bid are only available to a chapter if they exhaust both their 1st and 2nd lists and are still not at quota. So if your first choice had not met quota, you would have already been matched to them. If someone told you your first choice gave snap bids and you were matched to your second choice, they were lying or have no clue what they are talking about.
