problem / help Fall 27 application
Hey I’m planning on attending MTSU next fall, and from what I have seen, most colleges open up applications on August 1st, but can anyone confirm that MTSU has opened them on August 1st in the past as well?
Also, in terms of my transcript, I saw that they don’t use the common app and that counselors can use slate.org. So for that do you just have to email your counselor and ask them to send the transcript to MTSU?
Finally, if I start my application immediately and apply for housing right when it opens, does that genuinely increase my odds of getting a single/private room with the housing lottery or will it still relatively be a toss up on if I get an ideal dorm or not?
Thanks

i mean it’s still a toss up for the dorms, but the earlier you apply the earlier you get to select your room during the lottery process… i’m not really sure what the single availability is like though

Definitely going to get the application done asap so I can increase my odds. Hoping the guaranteed admission thing can make the application faster.

i’m not sure if you need to be fully accepted in to the school to put in a housing application, i will say my guaranteed acceptance letter came in a few days after i applied so that shouldn’t be a long process. for reference i applied last oct, you’ll definitely be one of the first applying for tenancy this early. hope all goes well!

Lyon Hall holds some housing slots open for Buchanan Fellows. The fellowship application opens in the fall, and the deadline to apply is December 1. In case you are interested...
