<p>I am wondering whether applying towards the end of the month had something to do with my housing decision and for those who did not get what they wanted. </p>
<p>I got De Neve plaza, but I really want residence hall. I even updated my application to residence hall for all three of my choices and triples and doubles only. </p>
<p>So those of you who got residence halls, did you apply early? And does anyone who have residence hall want to trade for a De Neve plaza (if we can do that...)</p>
<p>I submitted like mid-april and got my first choice (De Neve plaza as well).</p>
<p>To answer your other question though, I think their application hasn’t been updating for the past week-ish, as I’ve resubmitted my changes a number of times to no avail, so it’s possible that your updates were just late? I dunno, my 2cents.</p>
<p>Good luck if you try to change though</p>
<p>I submitted my housing application like a few days after I got accepted to UCLA (so pretty darn early)
I wanted a Plaza with a private bathroom. And i just got my offer and it’s a plaza with a private bathroom (although it’s not the exact plaza building i wanted)</p>
<p>Its a lottery. I applied only a day before the deadline and got my first choice (De Neve) and a Double! Why do you want a res hall? The food’s better in De Neve (I tried it), the rooms are larger, and everything’s brand new, and close to bruinwalk. What more could you ask for?</p>
<p>I don’t want to pay the extra 2500 or so. </p>
<p>I think there is a shortage of residence halls, or so I have heard. So maybe those who applied for residence halls early got theirs?</p>
<p>It really is a lottery. It doesn’t matter when you submitted your form. There are just so many students it is impossible to give everyone their first choice. Most people in De Neve love it. Give it a chance.</p>
<p>IT IS RANDOM.</p>
<p>HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS? IT HAS BEEN SAID NUMEROUS TIMES. LOTTERY. LOTTERY. LOTTERY. SUBMITTING EARLY GOT YOU NOTHING SPECIAL.</p>
<p>HOLY HELL IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?</p>
<p>maybe if i post in caps more people will listen</p>
<p>yea he is rite
its definitely random</p>
<p>i submitted housing app april 30th and got first choice…res hall
gonna be at Hedrick Res Hall</p>
<p>and my second choice was plaza, and suite was third</p>
<p>lol same here. sent my app in 28th of april, got first choice. hedrick res hall although triple instead of double, but that was expected.</p>
<p>i applied on april 15th and asked for a res hall, and a roommate, and i got sproul hall, however i got a triple when i applied for a double,my roommate applied for a triple though so that may explain why i got a triple.-it’s cheaper anyway so i am okay with it. =]</p>
<p>I submitted it a couple days before deadline and got a single shared. I also followed directions and submitted my preferences with a different option in each box. </p>
<p>I saw some people around here saying they kept repeating their main preference over and over again in each box lol. Wonder if they got what they wanted…</p>
