Applying to IRC? Does it make sense to request a roommate?

<p>It says on the site that roommate requests for the residential colleges may not be honored. To what extent does this apply to the IRC? How likely is it that I would get the roommate I request?</p>

<p>And also if anyone else has anything to add about the IRC please let me know. I really want to learn more about it but I only seem to see information on Brown, at least on these forums.</p>
