Yeah, then the average needed for it must have gone up. Congratulations on having a 95% average though, that's awesome.

I lived in les prince this past year, I didnt think it was anything particularly special.

Some of the floors are incredibly ugly; one of them is bright yellow lol.

Congrats on the solid average.

Way to bring down the mood of the thread.

He's right, though - that floor is ugly.

ok ive decided. I will be really dissapointed/sad/heartbroken if i dont get les prince. i dont think that good... thumbsdown2:

I put Double with Washroom as my first choice and I didn't get it so unless you have a 95 average it is lottery, my friend put double with washroom and he got LP so it depends on your luck! On the other hand I was put into my third choice, Bates Apt style 6 girls..I was a little taken aback at first but it was the best thing that's ever happened to me!!!! I've made 4 incredible best friends. So no matter what you get, make sure you go in with a positive attitude!!!!!

This made me laugh. Sixth girl wasn't so great, I'm guessing?

I know at Queen's, if you have allergies, you're guaranteed a single with a washroom... I was wondering if there is anything similar to this at Mac?

My friend found out she had an allergy during the year, so she was able to move into a room at Bates (apartment style) so she could cook her own food. So I think if it is a food allergy you are likely to get apartment/suite. If you have some sort of sleeping disorder/other problems then you would get a single most likely (need a doctor's note of course).

do they calculate overall marks or top 6...

This is the email I got a few days ago:

Congratulations on achieving an outstanding academic average. The Residence Admissions Office is pleased to inform you that if your admission average is 95% or higher for your program of study as of June 2nd, you will be guaranteed a single bed space in one of our 12 residence buildings.

Please note the following important information:

This offer guarantees you a single private room in one of our 12 residence buildings if you request it on your residence application. Please note - we are not able to guarantee a specific residence building.

In order to take advantage of this offer, you must do the following:

If you prefer a choice other than a single, we will guarantee you the room type you select on your application (i.e. double, triple, bunk & loft, quad); we cannot guarantee the apartment or suite choices.

So yeah, if your average went up since the mid-terms and you now have over 95%, you'll get your first choice, as long as it stays that way.
