<p>If I wait until say, March, to "Respond Now" is there any detriment?</p>
<p>Is "Respond Now" a requirement to save a spot even if I decide to go to a different school after I've received all my acceptances?</p>
<p>Once you've been accepted into UM and decide you will attend, then you do the "respond now" option. I'm waiting until April to respond.</p>
<p>Does housing priority change depending on when you submit the enrollment deposit?</p>
<p>No. It is based on a lottery. For last year, the higher number you get, the better dorm you get. You shouldn't worry too much over housing. If you don't like the dorm you got, there are a lot of upperclassmans waiting to give you their contracts. Or you can swap. I did that, and I went from Markley to West Quad.</p>
