I really want to be in the quad, but I dont really care which one tbh. Which dorm (Ware Fisher or Reipe) do you think is the least popular when freshmen sign up for housing? I want to increase my chances in the lottery by selecting the least popular dorm in the quad.
i had this strategy too! but it’s also important to consider size, the amount of singles/doubles (i.e if you’re applying for a double, the dorm with the most doubles is your best bet probably), and the amount of rooms filled by people in residential programs. i put Riepe first because I really like it and think its less competitive to get than Ware/Fisher. but based on what i mentioned, it might not be as strategic as I thought. the quad might be easier to get this year because a lot of people are attracted to New College House and the renovated Hill, because they are new.
if you really want the quad, apply for a residential program! that should help
