...Seems like a few people have started to get responses, though, in case ya'll were wondering.

I'm 19th on the waitlist for a 2 bedroom. I submitted exactly at 12:01. What are my chances of actually getting in?

My spot is in that neigborhood. I think we should be okay. Someone else can verify, but IIRC they went at least into the 30's last year.

I was way, way farther down in the waitlist than either of you and still got an offer for a 2 bedroom last year. I think you're okay pjo.

[Heat]

I am #42 and I submitted at 12:03. Harsh how many people applied so fast!

How much further down were you billyez?

[billyez]

Number 70 if I recall correctly. It should be noted that she didn't even reach my number initially and her offer of an unfurnished 2 bedroom was not what I had initially requested (which is why I didn't take it) - so in other words, this was a skin-of-the-teeth kind of offer that I barely got. The real point is, if I had a chance of getting in under such circumstances and was that far behind on the waitlist...I'd find it hard to believe that folks below 30 have a problem. That being said, YCre and the other folks who actually got a place there can speak with more authority about the Jeffersonian than I can.

Billy did you apply?

[billyez]

For this go-around? No. I'm quite comfortable where I am now.

[joemoviebuff]

My brother submitted mine five seconds after the clock hit zero on their website. I'm number 8 for a two bedroom.

Does anyone have one with the den? If you don't, do you wish you did? If you do, do you like it? Worth the extra money?

i think i was high 20s, early 30s last year. still had a few to choose from when it got to me, though none were the exact configuration i wanted (furnished, 2 bdroom, movein aug 1).

Seriously?

Would that be at a different apartment complex?

[billyez]

Yep. I'm at another place on Arlington so I don't have any incentive to move. I had considered applying to the Jeffersonian when I first got here, but it doesn't make sense to haul stuff down the street just to be that much closer to the school and I would have to go through the trouble of finding a roommate as well. Although, I must say, from hanging out at the Jeffersonian and seeing the place, I can understand why people like it so much.

[Whatsawahooanyway]

#32... Shouldn't have waited until 1202 to be safe... But I think I'm in good shape based on everything I've read.

[upalittletoolate]

#3 for a 1 bedroom furnished. First "be the 5th caller to win" type thing I've ever done well on in my life

[t-ender]

#7 for a 1br furnished. Sent the application at 12:00:15 or so despite the notice on the Jeffersonian website saying 12:01 was the earliest submission time.

Smart call. I was debating on whether or not to do it at 1200 or 1201 and wound up going with 1201. I wound up in the mid teens so it wasn't too costly.

I spoke with the manager a few weeks ago and she mentioned that the application needed to be in by January so I just decided to submit right after midnight. Also, my spot is not exactly 7, but very close, I just didn't want to run the admittedly ridiculously small risk of someone complaining to the manager that I submitted prior to 12:01 and end up loosing my spot.

[plenipotentiary]

I just submitted my app tonight. Sounds like that was probably way too late.

[suspicious android]

Missed out on GW's ED, so now UVA looks like my top choice. Looking forward to ASW.

Speaking of which, does anyone know off hand when ASD is? I misplaced my paper with the dates on it.

[MrSparkle]

50's for Jeffersonian...I shouldn't have waited till 1:30 haha. But interestingly looks like most people before me submitted within like 30 seconds of each other so I don't feel too bad about that crap shoot.

pjo: open house - 3/18, 4/1

[Doritos]

Hey sparkle I was in the 40s last year and got a spot albeit late in the game (like april/may) so there is hope.

I appreciate the vote of confidence! But that seems so late...I'm wondering if I should wait for Jeffersonian, or jump on Ivy early.

Could someone refresh my memory- what exactly goes on on these dates? Should we bring anything with us? I ask because it's about a 19 hour drive, and I'd hate to show up for just a tour or more brochures.
Also, on a mobile device overseas, so "just Google it" could possibly take years

I'm not too sure what goes on, but I think most people qualify for a travel stipend if they RSVP and fill out the form. It's like $250 for ppl coming from PA/NY/NJ//OH etc and $400 for ppl in the Midwest and further west. So it's worht the trip even just to meet some of your classmates for next year.
