This is a concurrency problem, so I can think of two solutions for the time being.

1. Three-step process:  
`1. Share the student's application with the student's number 1 choice`  
`2. If there are students without a mentor AND mentors without students: Share the application of the student with their second choice mentor, given that the mentors have slots.`  
`3. Repeat step 2 for choice number three for the same conditions.`  
`4. If there are still students without mentors and mentors without students, we can share those applications with the mentors without students.`

2. Old method: We export the DB to a Google Sheet and do the previous filtering method where we personally do the pairing and send the mentors the final list.
