Wait it out a little... Not too sure what yours or my odds are of getting a spot but hey us wait lister first years should make a club lol

If I was guaranteed residence but I only applied to the waiting list is there a chance that I will receive a spot before others?

I'm down to make a club lol

Let us pray. Heavily. For long periods of time.

Once you're on the waiting list at whatever number, that's pretty much where you're stuck. You can wait for your number to move (as people on the list recieve spots), or look for off-campus housing, or commute (depending where you live).

How did you apply to the waiting list? If you were guaranteed res, you should have gotten it unless you missed payment deadlines & such?

What are the chances of waitlist people getting a single room?
and im # 27 do I have a chance ? =[

I'd say slim-to-none, although it might be different for upper years? Since most upper years get single rooms (or single rooms within a suite/apartment), you might have a better chance. For first-years, since most of the people with single rooms won't be dropping out of res (their marks are usually higher so they'll definitely meet conditional offer requirements), there's a very low chance of wait-list people getting a single room. It is possible though--if you had someone with lower marks who got a single room from special accomodations, but then couldn't meet their offer requirements, the room would become available. People's financial situations also change, too.

neural, since you know a lot about this or seem too, if im 83 on the upper yr wait list what are my chances :$

I replied to the thread you started before

It's mostly luck. I've heard that usually the top 100 get in, but it depends on how many people drop out. So, chances are decent you'll get a room, but significantly lower that it will be a single room. Having said that, I'm not 100% sure how they deal with wait-list people with special accomodations--you can call them and ask, but generally people on the wait-list just take whatever becomes available. There's a whole bunch of things that can affect whether you get a single room. For example, say you're #1 on the wait list, and a quad becomes available, but you really don't want to live in a quad. If you reject the room, are you moved to the bottom of the wait list? Or do you still get first dibs on the next room available, while the quad is offered to the person who's #2? I don't know exactly how they do it, but they'd probably explain it to you if you call and ask

haha oh i called them and i changed my room preference so the single room thing is whatever now i comprimised, i just want residence hahah LOL but yay, i hope the top 100 get in
