<p>Shraf - off my friend. you only get 2 freebies in an exclusion suite, which means the third person (the junior) drops you to only 26.6 pts and so you would pick after all normal 30pt exclusion groups, who pick after all 30pt senior groups (all 5 are seniors). Last year the cutoff was for 23.33 pt value, and group with a 1236 lottery number. This year my guess with the ability of 30pt senior groups to pick before exclusion groups, that you may see that inch higher, perhaps you need a pt value of 26.6 to get it. Either way you more than likely should be fine if you are 2sr 1jr 2so, but may get a crappy suite (far from elevator, lower floor, non-renovated floor, depending on how high your lottery number.</p>

<p>cu uses a point and lottery number. points denote priority order, lottery denotes picking order. lottery is out of all students staying in the school (3100 or so) in the school with people picking as a group given the same number. points are 10, 20, 30 going soph, junior, senior. in suite selection these numbers are averaged. in exclusion suites, only the top 3 numbers are averaged.</p>
