I recommend doing the optional interview. Mine went really well and I’m sure it made me a stronger applicant. Also, for those wondering I’m really broke, so they didn’t have any financial incentive to accept me.

So just got housing info for this fall. Living in SAM which lost their charter. Sophomore out of state transfer so glad i got something. Put housing app in as soon as i heard about transfer application back in march and ive heard it makes a difference.
