If I have lottery card number 2027 does it mean I am the 27th person in line on Junior Room Selection Night?
Having lottery card 2027 doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be the 27th person in line. There are several reasons that this is not a “hard number.” First, lottery half number are drawn by students who were abroad (or anyone who had an error). So those students will receive numbers such as 2001.5, 2005.5, etc., numbers which could potentially be before yours in room selection. Second, you can never predict how many students will be “pulled up” to other room selection nights. Some junior students will attend senior selection with their friends and be pulled up into rooms and suites. Some students have also already chosen rooms in South or assigned rooms through the Special Housing Accommodations. So in the end, it is too hard to predict exactly where you will fall in the line until you are actually here that night. Just plan ahead and be prepared for anything.
