Selection Priority

Priority in the Room Selection Process is determined by a point-value system based on seniority. Priority is assigned:

  • rising seniors, Class of 2009 = 30 pts.
  • rising juniors, Class of 2010 = 20 pts.
  • rising sophomores, Class of 2011 = 10 pts.

Please note that priority is based on the year you entered Columbia and does not benefit those graduating early. 

Groups participating in Suite Selection, or for those applying as a group in General Selection, will be given a priority point value based on the average value of all Columbia students in the group (BC students are not figured into the average).
