<p>First, congrats to everyone else who was accepted!!!!</p>
<p>I think this may have come up on an earlier thread, but for all of us (including myself) who are choosing between NYU and one other school, does anyone know if, for RD admits, putting the deposit down earlier allows gives you higher preference when choosing dorms? Or, does everyone who accepts by May 1 get the same preference in the dorm lottery?</p>
<p>Just wondering cause I really want Founders.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I do not think the time of deposit matters so long as you meet the 5/1 deadline.</p>
<p>What does matter is that housing application and survey form that you have to fill out and submit asap. I think the form is not available until later? I am not sure when. And maybe a student can come up with the specifics. I am not sure if the form goes out after 5/1? Somehow I remember from last year, I paid the housing deposit early but that was not the deciding factor. It was the date that my son submitted his roommate matching form/ dorm selection form that mattered. He did that quickly and had to remind his roommate to summit his shortly after. They both got their first choice, Founders.</p>
