<p>Can you apply for housing at Uchicago before you are admitted? I can't seem to find any place in which to do so on their housing website but I thought I would ask to be sure. I don't want to miss out on a good housing placement.</p>
<p>Ya i'm quite sure you have to wait until the admit package comes in. Only then do they give you specific info on dorms and how to apply and such.</p>
<p>Last year, they sent you housing information in the admittance packet. You reserve a place in line in housing priority once you send in your deposit. After doing so, you can change your housing priorities as much as you want until May 1st and will still reserve your place in the line. If you request a certain roommate, then the two of you ought to send in your deposits as soon as possible, because both of you will have the same number in line as the last one to submit the deposit. </p>
<p>The general rule of thumb for Snell-Hitchcock housing was that most people get Snell only if they were EA and sent in their deposit super early.</p>
<p>Oh, and you ought to submit your deposit online rather than via mail if you want to get in on housing priority asap.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the help!</p>
