<p>Hi everybody, a friend of mine who is also going to BU asked me a question and I could not answer him. He asked me what would be the date registred in BU if you submitted your housing form at a certain date and changed it weeks later. Would it appear as the first day I submitted it or would the date be the day I changed my preferences?</p>
<p>In other words does changing your preferences after you submit your housing forms have any effect on the date you submitted it?</p>
<p>Another question…is it hard to get my first choice?</p>
<p>thanks for taking your time reading this and feel free to ask any questions!</p>
<p>I really don’t know, but I know they review it based on when it is submitted on a rolling basis. However, if you are already placed and your preferences change in that the old choice is not even on the new one list, then you might be put til then end. Otherwise, they might just give you whatever they decided on the first place since it technically is on your list.</p>
<p>I submitted mine pretty early last year (mid April) and received my first choice w/ specialty floor. If you picked Warren, West, or Towers you will most likely (99%) get one of them if you applied before like June I’m sure. First come first serve.</p>
<p>It would appear as the first date you submitted it regardless of when you changed your preferences. At least that’s what it was like last year. I called and asked last year and that is what they told me.</p>
