<p>I was recently accepted to UT, and I didn't know that I was supposed to apply for housing when I put in my application. I put in my housing app around the 15th of this month, and found out today that I'm on the waiting list for a housing contract. Seeing as how DHFS doesn't want to give me anymore information than that, I guess I'm forced to ask you guys. What are my chances of getting a contract now? Am I pretty much screwed on getting on campus housing? If I need to look elsewhere for housing, does anyone have some suggestions? Thanks for any information provided.</p>
<p>Are you a freshman? If you are a transfer student, I think you have no chance.</p>
<p>If you are a freshman, I am surprised they did not offer you a contract for supplemental housing (a room in a lounge until an actual dorm room opens up). I do not know what your chances are of getting a room. I think that people who applied around this time in past years were still getting supplemental housing contracts, but I might be wrong.</p>
<p>(Dobie and Castilian are perfectly reasonable options if you can’t get a room on campus.)</p>
<p>you probably will not get a room, start looking off-campus.</p>
<p>yea, I’m a transfer student. thx for the help</p>
<p>I talked to housing a couple of weeks ago about the waitlist thing… They said in years past that they have been able to get everyone on the waitlist into a dorm. But you probably won’t know for sure until a week or two before school starts…</p>
<p>yea you should line up an apartment just incase you cant get a dorm, just dont schedule the lease signing for the apartment until its closer for school 2 start</p>
<p>i actually emailed them and this is the exact response I got.</p>
<p>“Our records indicate that you are on the waitlist for a contract offer. Please continue to check your emails for updates. Contracts are offered in the order that a student has applied for housing. Please give the process more time to take place.”</p>
<p>I’ll try emailing again and asking where on the list i am, and hopefully I wont incur their wrath :P</p>
<p>Jeptha when they say you were on the waitlist
because mine still says contract is active</p>
<p>ummm, I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking me, Jaysen…</p>
<p>I’m going to infer that you’re asking me when they told me I was on the waitlist. I received that email this morning.</p>
<p>yeah thanks Jeptha
i was wondering when you go to ut status check do you see
application still active after you click on the housing status</p>
<p>yea, it still says active.</p>
<p>thanks Jeptha</p>
<p>How about the students that are still not accepted yet, but sent in a housing application early? I still have yet to be accepted since I ddidn’t send them my updated transcript with 30 units… So are my chances of getting housing zero since jeptha, you, got accepted and you’re on waitlist for housing??</p>
<p>anyoneeeEE???</p>
<p>i believe, and someone correct me if im wrong, that as long as you applied for housing earlier in the year (like a month ago at the latest…?) you’re good to go. Jeptha didn’t apply for housing until now, unlike you. hope that helped!</p>
<p>Pay attention to UT Housing, not me! If everyone on the waitlist got a room last year, you will probably get one this year.</p>
<p>Are the off campus housing like Castilian and Towers usually full by now?</p>
<p>Will it be a little late if I apply in the middle of the summer? Like July?</p>
<p>lol, wow. I think they’re ignoring me. I had a feeling that last email contained an impatient, irritated undertone :P</p>
<p>I don’t know about Towers, but Castilian is not usually full this early; you should be able to get in there if you want to.</p>
