So, since I have time and no life top 32 via votes for both groups as of round 1 are:

Spoiler for Nova:

1. Tachibana Kanade (no one even comes close)
2. Yui
3. Eucliwood Hellscythe
4. Hasegawa Kobato (decent result, but kinda weak group)
5. Gokou Ruri (in a somewhat strong group)
6. Kousaka Kirino
7. Kashiwazaki Sena
8. Kuroi Mato (highest 2nd place)
9. Victorique de Blois
10. Yuzuriha Inori
11. Kanzaki H. Aria
12. Akemi Homura
13. Charlotte Dunois
14. Nakamura Yuri
15. Makise Kurisu
16. Iwasawa Asami (wtf)
17. Haqua du Lot Herminium
18. Nakagawa Kanon
19. Touwa Erio
20. Elucia de Lute Irma
21. Irisviel von Einzbern
22. Honma Meiko
23. Kirishima Shouko
24. Mikazuki Yozora
25. Gasai Yuno
26. Kaname Madoka
27. Sakura Kyouko
28. Aragaki Ayase
29. Fear Kubrick
30. Mine Riko
31. Haruna
32. Shiomiya Shiori (4th in group)

Next 6 likely to challenge for final few spots:
Kasugano Sora - Himeji Mizuki - Konoe Subaru - Matsumae Ohana - Suzutsuki Kanade - Ika Musume

My thoughts: top 27 will probably get through. Last 5 slots up for grabs really.

Spoiler for Stella:

1. Shana
2. Misaka Mikoto
3. Aisaka Taiga
4. Nakano Azusa
5. Nagato Yuki
6. Suzumiya Haruhi
7. Akiyama Mio
8. Katsura Hinagiku
9. Saber
10. Sengoku Nadeko
11. Hirasawa Yui
12. Senjougahara Hitagi
13. Louise Valliere
14. Tousaka Rin
15. Illyasviel von Einzbern
16. Oshino Shinobu
17. Hiiragi Kagami
18. Last Order
19. Sakagami Tomoyo
20. Furukawa Nagisa
21. C.C.
22. Ikaros
23. Holo
24. Izumi Konata
25. Fujibayashi Kyou
26. Asahina Mikuru
27. Shirai Kuroko
28. Ibuki Fuuko (4th in group)
29. Hecate
30. Index L. Prohibitorum
31. Hirasawa Ui
32. Sanzen'in Nagi (4th in group but likely should be higher)

Next 6 likely to challenge for final few spots:
Konjiki no Yami - Ichinose Kotomi - Nymph - Kushieda Minori - Erza Scarlet - Tainaka Ritsu

My thoughts: Top 25 will probably get through + Nagi. Also, probably more girls than just those extra 6 have a chance at the remaining spots.

So, it'll be interesting to bring this back up once we get our regular season candidates, and see how close or far round 1 was for predicting. Of course, it may not be wholly accurate, so forgive me if a mistake was made.
