<p>What is the range of numbers in the housing lottery? When they say the top 5% can sign back into existing housing, how many people are they talking about?</p>

2

<p>I think we are talking about at least 10,000 people – of course a bit more. Usually the best numbers are in the hundreds.</p>

3

<p>I know one person who has a number slightly above 10,000.</p>

<p>Mushaboom: In previous years, what was the approximate cutoff for suites housing?</p>

4

<p>My son has 774 and he’s not in the top 5%.</p>

<p>To Koto:</p>

<p>Here was last year’s results for those who were applying for Fall 2009 suite housing on Busch (source below in link): #1 through #874.</p>

<p>My daughter and current roommate both have +3500</p>

7

<p>I know someone who has number 57 (or something really close to that).</p>

8

<p>^ Wow. That person is lucky. I have a number in the 6,000. And considering that last year I was almost put in a hotel and only had a number in the 3,000 I’m pretty much screwed right now =&lt;/p>

<p>mushaboom: holy cruuuud. I sure hope I can get into McCormick…</p>

<p>I have a question…As an engineering major, would I be able to get into the engineering dorms?
Unless I can get on campus housing, I can’t go to Rutgers. I’m a transfer from South Jersey and I don’t know anyone up there :/</p>

<p>Scorpio, my son is a transfer junior this year. He was placed on Livingston with all the other transfers. All his classes are on Busch, but it hasn’t been a problem for him at all. (He is an Engineering major.)</p>
