Hi, my son didn’t sign up for housing until early this week, because we thought he would be going out of state. He got a priority number of 6,600. Has anyone gotten a decent dorm with such a high number?
I just posted on another thread about this but I’m surprised almost a month later from the second admittance the priority numbers are only up to 6,600. So I guess a vast majority of students registered for housing in the first go around are truly committed (if you go by the 6,100 enrolled number from last year).
I would say with 6,600 he is going to get the leftovers (Salley?). My daughter isn’t in much better shape at 5335.
Thanks, That’s what I think too. Unless he gets into an LLC. Good luck to your daughter.
We were told at Preview that my child’s number was probably going to work out to be about a thousand lower than it actually is (he was at the tail end of the first batch of sign-ups and ended up in the 4000s). Also bear in mind that there are LLC kids and 400 others who are Honors students and therefore will be automatically in Landis unless they end up in an LLC-- so extrapolate from there.
@petrichor11 That totally sounds right if 6,100 enroll and we are at 6,600+ priority, with another 500 or so to go before 5/1.
My S’s number is around 6500 and I called because the website says they have housing for 6300 and I didn’t want to sign a binding contract if he was going to end up in temporary housing or not have a room. I was told that he really isn’t 6500. Every time someone fills out the 1st part of the contract, a number is assigned and they don’t recycle the numbers. So if kids fill out the first part of the housing contract but don’t pay the deposit or submit parent signatures within 10 days, that number is no longer valid and they would have to get a new number if they come back to sign-up for housing after the 10 days. Plus since you can sign up for housing before committing to the school, many kids sign-up for housing right away but then don’t choose to attend. Their numbers are also no longer valid. She said that there were “thousands” of numbers before us that are not actually valid anymore which is why they allow more than 6300 to sign-up for housing.
Thank you so much for that information!! It gives me hope.
