How are applicants ranked?
Applicants are ranked according to their total points and their residence hall preference.
Because the number of slots is limited, not all applicants can be accommodated.
What happens if there is a tie in points?
Income is the basis for breaking the tie. If the applicants are still tied, the General Weighted Average (GWA) is used.
