2001-02 Graduate Housing Lottery Statistics

Overall Lottery Statistics

As the chart below indicates, housing applications rose significantly this year. We attribute this increase to the tight off-campus housing market. Unassigned students are strongly encouraged to read the information available in Joining the Autumn Waiting List

Couples without Children

All students who applied for couple without children housing by the deadline were given a random number from 0001 to 1000; students who applied for student with children housing by the deadline were given a random number from 0100 to 0500. Current residents in student with children housing who renewed their contracts were not assigned random lottery numbers.

• There were 775 couples who applied for housing.
• The overall cut-off number for couple housing was 0366 with housing assignment priority.

Specific Residence Cut-off Numbers. Listed below are the residence options to which couples and students with children were assigned in the Lottery and the application numbers of the last student assigned to each option. You would need a number lower than the listed cut-offs (or a residence priority in conjunction with a lottery number better than the overall cut-off) in order to be assigned to the corresponding option.

Please remember that your assignment depends on your choices, housing and residence priorities, and application number as well as those of other students. Not all application numbers were assigned during the Lottery; therefore, your application number is not representative of the actual number of students in the Lottery ahead of you.

Students with Children

All students with children who applied for housing by the deadline were assigned a random application number from 0001 to 0500. (Current students living in Student with Children Housing who renewed their housing contracts were not given application numbers.)

• All new students who requested assignment to Student with Children Housing and were willing to live anywhere (meaning either furnished or unfurnished options of the apartments for which they were eligible) were assigned.
• There were 366 students with children who applied for housing.
• The overall cut-off number for student with children housing was 0498 with housing assignment priority.
  

Following are the cut-off numbers for each of the Student with Children apartment option.

Single Students

All single students who applied for graduate housing by the deadline were assigned a random application number from 0001 to 3500. Students who requested to be in a group were given a common number.

Overall Cut-off Numbers. To be considered for an assignment you must either be a new student or your application number must be better (lower) than the overall cutoff number for your gender.

• All new students were considered for assignment -- and those who were willing to live anywhere were assigned.
• The overall cut-off number for the last male, continuing student assigned was 1816, with housing assignment priority.
• The overall cut-off number for the last female, continuing student assigned was 1252, with housing assignment priority.

If your number was better than the overall cut-off number for your gender, but you were not assigned housing, then you listed limited residence choices, and your number was not good enough to be assigned to any of those specific choices.

Specific Residence Cut-off Numbers. Listed below are the residences to which students were assigned in the Lottery and the application numbers of the last female and male to be assigned to each residence. The number in parentheses after the application number indicates that all students assigned had that level of priority or better.

Please remember that your assignment depends on your choices, housing and residence priorities, and application number as well as those of other students. Not all application numbers were assigned during the Lottery; therefore, your application number is not representative of the actual number of students in the Lottery ahead of you.

Special Priorities. Listed below are the priorities available for each single graduate student residence.

Residence	Priority Level 1	Priority Level 2	Priority Level 3
Crothers Hall	Returning resident law students	Law students	Returning resident non-law students
Crothers Memorial Hall	Returning resident engineering students	Engineering students	Returning resident non-engineering students
All other residences	Returning residents	-	-

*The law priority to Crothers Hall is an "absolute" priority irrespective of the assignable pool, therefore, some continuing law students with application numbers higher than the overall cut-off, who also listed Crothers Hall on their applications, were assigned.

* The co-ops are assigned only to students who list them as a specific choice (or the generic "Any Co-op" choice). Therefore, some continuing students with lottery numbers above the overall cut-offs were assigned when spaces remained after assigning all those below the cutoffs.
