Forecasting the final few days of General Selection (Updated cutoff estimates included)

With General Selection set to resume tomorrow, and a whopping 202 rising juniors set to pick into the remaining singles, it's time again to breakdown what's going to happen. First, a few quick previews. The last-single-room cutoff will be around 20/2700 and the Sophomore Waitlist cutoff is projected to be roughly 10/700.

What's left?

  • 39 Harmony singles
  • 10 McBain singles
  • 184 Wien singles
  • 38 Furnald singles
  • 30 McBain doubles
  • 1 Harmony double
  • 31 Schapiro doubles
  • 4 Wien doubles

What's going to happen tomorrow?

With 202 rising juniors (up to lottery number 2575) set to pick tomorrow, most of the remaining singles---and certainly all the quality ones---will be wiped out. It's hard to predict whether people will prefer Wien or Harmony, but there's a good chance either (but not both) dorms will be wiped out after tomorrow. McBain will likely still be around though, as juniors avoid the 99 square foot singles in the McBain Shaft that really, aren't much better than the Shaft doubles. Expect a day of fairly monotonous room selection.

Ok... That was obvious. What's going to happen after tomorrow?
