We were able to assign a small number of continuing students with medium and low priority due to priorities for the GSB Residences, the Law priority to Munger, medical accommodations and students who were willing to live in the Oak Creek two bedroom, triples. We were unable to assign continuing students without priority or non-matriculated students in the first round.
