<p>I was wondering if there was any benefit to depositing earlier on. I know some colleges give priority to earlier depositers in first come first serve commodities like dorms, but does it matter at Rochester? Thanks.</p>
<p>Spoke to someone in admissions today. She said that everyone who sends in their deposit by May 1 will be sent a housing packet at the same time during mid to late May. So, the answer to your question is that there is no advantage to depositing early.</p>
<p>Thanks for clearing that up.</p>
<p>Freshmen all register for classes at the same time too–so no advantage there either.</p>
<p>BTW, freshmen do not get to pick their dorm. They’re assigned.</p>
<p>Supposedly you are suposed to be able to state preference dorms, in this residential guide, <a href=“http://www.rochester.edu/reslife/files/contract_freshmen2010-11.pdf[/url]”>http://www.rochester.edu/reslife/files/contract_freshmen2010-11.pdf</a></p>
<p>ED student are the only ones that pick what they want</p>
<p>Just confirming all of the above to be true. Thanks!</p>
