Housing after the 8th??

<p>So, researching umich I found the housing page.
I was first wondering if it was possible for me to request a roomate that's already sent his housing forms in. I'm pretty sure that answer is no, but if you think I'm wrong be sure to let me know asap.
But my main question concerns that housing lottery thing. It says they hold it on the of April. Does that mean the rest of us who have just received our decisions are basically screwed out of the chance for a good location (not north campus)??? I mean, you'd think if they hold the majority of the lottery on the 8th, the rest of us get the leftovers. I'd love for someone to contradict me, but this seems rather disappointing.
Any useful perspectives here?</p>

<p>I talked to some peeps with UMich housing staff/ undegrad affairs when i was there on spring visit day... they basicalyl said not to worry because most requests in april are given equal consdieration. Besides, a solid 40% of the people at my school who are going to UMich have not done anything in regards to housing etc... no worries mate! :)</p>

<p>sweet, thanks!</p>
