arwen23, Yes, you can be assigned to ANY of your stated choices on the Housing app, even if it is your last choice (if I understand you correctly).

Unfortunately, you have to list so many choices. That means that you can get just about anything and it appears that NYU’s job is easier because they can juggle people around much easier.

Though I notice this year a number of people reporting here got their last choice, which, of course, makes for a lot of very unhappy people. Especially if the individuals were not expecting NYU to go so far down their list of choices. :)

I think gary8890 is smart to try to get an exchange “privately” through this forum (or other communications channels), IF this is allowed by NYU Housing. Just check on NYU procedures. Never know when NYU hits you with another one of their “Don’ts.” Though it makes sense to me to be able to make an exchange based on mutual consent of the parties involved.
