<p>Hey guys, I did my housing preferences form (indicating a desire for a San Jacinto spot) and paid the 50$ back in August/September, but only got accepted recently. Am I in the running for San Jacinto, or did they give away all spots already? I can't seem to find a contract to accept despite applying so early: perhaps this is because I have not yet accepted my offer of admission? Thank you all!</p>
<p>UT Housing uses your application date (the date you submitted the $50 application fee) when doing room assignments. So even though you may just now be finalizing your contract and submitting your advance payment, the original date you applied is the date Housing will use when making room assignments.</p>
