Here is my guess. The Administrator may want to keep their hands free and announce the final arrangement of the WRC houses in the last minute (or after May 1st). They may move a couple of I-House houses to WRC or none at all. I am quite sure that they are not going to move everyone to WRC and then just put first years in I-House next year. That won’t work. Most likely it will be the 300/100 mix that @DunBoyer and I talked about in the WRC thread.
@momo2x2018 Only the names of the new houses at WRC have bee assigned. There have not been any details on what exactly will be composition of students body in terms of distribution of first year and second years versus upperclassmen.
