Should I wait to pay for housing?

<p>Right now I’m waiting for my appeal response from UCSC. If I get in, I’ll most likely go there and they should respond by this friday (4/19/13). However, spots are already filling up for dorms at CPP. I’m not sure if I should take the chance of depositing a bunch of money before I even know the results of my appeal (even though chances of getting in are pretty small).</p>

<p>What happens if I sign up for housing late? Will I be put into the “bad” dorms or will they try and stick me into the suites? Is my appeal worth waiting for?</p>
