I would use the term "choose" loosely. After you get housing (well, if you get housing) you'll probably want to just sign up for the standard plan although there is an option to sign up for the premium plan which is just more points...and most people don't need more points.

I found out my lottery number is 57, but I'm wondering if they put us in a pool of only boys or girls, or everyone enrolled in FPF. Because if I'm #57 out of 800, I think I'll have a pretty good chance of getting the housing I want...

Also, after sending in the class-scheduling application w/ exam scores attached, is there anything else we're supposed to do involving classes?

Sounds like you're all set.

is it too late to apply for themed housing and co-ops?

if we dont get a dorm for fall for the fall extension students, do we get another chance during the spring?

finding an apartment is hassle

vicissitudes

Yeah you can apply again for spring semester. I know some spring admits who got in during the spring. I hear themed housing deadline passed (it was a page or two back in this thread)...look up their websites to find out. Maybe I'll look it up later.

I thought spring housing for spring admits is guaranteed.

vicissitudes

I've heard that rumor but I haven't seen any confirmations on any Cal Housing-related websites so for the time-being I'm going to assume that it's not guaranteed.

Also, I was reading some old threads and noticed that last year, FPF students actually got their housing around July 11th, which makes sense since when they had their CalSO they already knew about their dorm status. I said "early August" several times in this thread but apparently I remembered wrong. Sorry about the misinformation.

I have a question regarding off-campus housing.

How do I apply for housing at Telegraph Commons? Do they have an online application I can submit? Or is an appointment/open house on-campus visit necessary? In addition, what exactly is open house?

I e-mailed George, but his responses weren't very helpful. Their office is closed until July 15.

im writing my essays for the theme house app, but if you're applying to more than one theme housing, do you write all the essays in the same little box, or do you sumbit the application more than once?

Now that the AP scores are out, how do you drop/add classes? Just send them an email? And where do you find out your schedule?

d=]

ditto i would also like to know how to find out my schedule (i.e., if i got the schedule i wanted, or if some of my first choice breadths were full and had to be switched to second or third fourth choices...and if they were changed, then what time/day discussions&lectures i now have)

vicissitudes

Well, I checked the website, and it looks like you have to "contact them" to apply. Maybe the phone number / online form will be more useful? Or you can wait until July 15th and then try.

Honestly, I don't know. If the essay question is theme-specific, then you probably have to apply more than once, but if it's generic, then maybe you only have to check all the boxes that apply.

Every year they scramble until maybe a couple of weeks before school starts over schedules. You could email them now and they'll probably change it for you (chances are, they haven't even started working on your schedule yet). What I do know for sure is that you can add and drop classes a few weeks after classes start, so you have plenty of time to get that straightened out. In fact, I think a week before school starts, they email you your final schedule and ask if you want to change anything.

can someone verify this?
