Roommate question for housing form

My daughter was accepted by Early Decision to NYU. She has received her housing form in the mail. She wants to room with a friend who has applied regular decision and has not heard yet. To take advantage of the preference that ED students have in the process, should she go ahead and submit her form and put her friend’s name as a roommate? If her friend doesn’t get in, can she change her roommate on the form and still get the early decision preference? Or should she just wait to submit the form until the first of April to see if her friend gets in or not?
