Housing for Fall 2016

Hello, I am an incoming freshman to UC Berkeley for fall 2016.

For my housing application, I did not know I had to put “any room size- any location” as my 5th preferences, therefore I was not offered housing. I called them and they said that I was on the spreadsheet. They, at first, told me that they will send out the second offer by the end of last week, and that did not happen. I checked online today and called them today, and found out that I was on the WAITLIST for the housing, which means it is not guaranteed.

I really want the experience of staying in dorms.

HOW LIKELY AM I TO GET HOUSING?
If anyone knows anything about this, please help me
