I'm not on the waitlist, but from what I understand, all freshmen are guaranteed housing if they request it, it just might mean that those who got in off their waitlist are last in line for dorm preferences.

We aren't in the dorm lottery. That is for upperclassmen. Freshman WILL get housing if they request it.

rszanto: actually, no...

"Priority Group 1 (high priority)
"Sophomore" defined as a student with anticipated 6-7 remaining semesters in housing (students admitted to NYU as freshmen in fall 2007 or spring 2008)."

for the program i got into, i graduate NYU in 3 years, or in 6 semesters, so i would only have 6 semesters of housing

so yes, i should qualify for it, right?

Aoibheal, are you an incoming freshman or a transfer student?

Aoibheal

Incoming Freshman.

I -hope- that I get housing, but from the email it obviously says waitlist applicants aren't guarenteed housing.

I think you are all confusing wait list for housing and assuming it applies to students that were accepted off the wait list for admissions.

I don't think that if you are accepted off the wait list for admissions you are automatically wait listed for housing. I think you are confused. Wait listed for housing is for students who did not accept housing at first or who opted out of housing and now want back in. that email is misleading because I *THINK* the way the question was posed, you implied you were on housing wait list.

I would call and talk to a human on monday and ask this "if I was accepted of the admissions wait list, am I guaranteed housing as a freshman/transfer". I bet the answer to that question is yes.

i agree. you are guarenteed housing if you are a freshman off the waitlist. you're not necessarily going to get your first choice, but then again people who get in regular might not either.

"I don't think that if you are accepted off the wait list for admissions you are automatically wait listed for housing."

Actually when I called them I stated very clearly that I was just accepted into the university from the wait list, and they said I have to apply to be on the wait list for housing anyway. You can call them if you still think I didn't pose the question clearly, if you can get any info that would help a lot.

okay, whatever you say. seems odd to offer admission w/o housing for freshman

I think you're guaranteed housing. Anyway nyu accepts too many freshmen, sticks them in housing with upperclassmen to fend for themselves, and then continues to throw their students under the bus for the rest of their college career. It's just how life at nyu works.

OMG, DAMN I FILLED OUT THAT DAMN WAITLIST FORM BECAUSE OF CC... Gotta call tomorrow and figure it all out, but it seems like they are taking their time with the application and all... I sent in deposit last week and still there's no change

rszanto

Let us know what to do if we filled out waitlist housing forms when you find out.

jh2633

call them... I just did, and it seems like everything is gonna be alright. Have your N ID ready

Did you just ask to be removed from the housing waitlist?
