Housing clarification

<p>Hey guys.
Okay, I am thoroughly confused about order of housing priority. I sent in my housing app in September and was under the impression that it determined my placement in the housing preference. However, lately people have been talking about housing contracts and such. I am about to pay my enrollment deposit and consequently get my housing contract. So which determines the order of priority, the application or the contract? Thanks. :)</p>

<p>The application determines the placement, assuming you get the contract in quickly.</p>

<p>thanks-everything was really starting to befuddle me.</p>
