Stupid question about housing priority

<p>I was wondering if anyone knew about how housing priority worked. If you sign up for housing earlier, is it more likely you'll recieve one of your top choices? Or does time not impact the process? Also, I was wondering if anyone had been placed below their fourth choice, provided they applied on time. When I visited SUNY Plattsburgh they told us no one received lower than their 3rd choice, and I would like to know if Binghamton does somthing similar. Thank you!</p>
