How does my number of credits reflect my lottery number? Does a better GPA mean a better lottery number?

The lottery numbers are divided by class statuses. These statuses are determined by a specific number of credits. The number of credits you have will categorize everyone into 4 statuses: Rising Fifth-year Seniors, Rising Seniors, Rising Juniors, and Rising Sophomores. Once you are fit into a status, the lottery numbers are assigned randomly. For example, if you have a higher number of credits, it does NOT necessarily mean that you will receive at better lottery number. Unfortunately, higher GPAs are not reflective of better lottery numbers.

Is there still a quota set for this year?

No, the quota has been removed for the upcoming year. All sections will be available for upper-class students except Queens Court in Le Mans, which is the only section offline for first-year students.

How does it work if I want to live with someone who has a lower (or higher) class status than me?
