UCSD Housing

I was let into UCSD on appeal but they will not guarantee housing. I signed up on the waitlist Monday and have no idea when they will tell me whether or not I have housing. Does anyone know the likelihood of me getting housing if I’m on the waitlist? Also, how hard will it be to find alternative housing? What do other people do when their housing is in limbo? Where do they arrange temporary housing until space opens up on campus? This housing situation is such a pain.
