Sorry I am not being clear. I don't think its over for all of you. I think its over for my income bracket. I was appling for a middle income studio/1br

I don't mean to discourage anyone. I am ONLY referring to my situation.
I don't want to get my hopes up anymore because tbh his always happens to me. Ill only get let down more down the line. The universe likes to play cruel jokes. I'm going to hop off these forums for a while and keep my crying to myself. I will keep you informed if I hear anything.

Good luck Latashaw, I hope you get the 2 br for you and your boys (I haven't heard anything about those being full) and congrats to all those who got their apartments.

Yeah maybe I'll do that if they don't answer by next week. I don't get my keys until March 1st anyway, but whats stressing me is the actually move in date with my furniture because the place I bought them from are going to be delivering it.

Coma, I admire your optimism, but remember that in October a lot of people got formal waitlist letters -- at the time, it was people with CB preference whose numbers were in the 6000s and higher. For all the ways this lottery is being crummily run, I think it's kind of clear that space is running out. What a shame. I spent way too much time worrying about this.

Hi GameGirl,

When you contact the concierge, they will schedule a two hour time block for you to use the service elevator and move in. You can pick up the key at the same time.

I feel the same way you do. The fact that they don't offer status updates is so lame. The should have a website that informs you of your status. Maybe do everything electronically.


It's BS that they're interviewing more people than they can actually house; its cruel really.If you interview 5 or 6 people more and LET them know that they're interviewing for a waiting list then I suppose that's okay. But the way they're doing it is so cruel.

I've been waiting for 5mths its been a nightmare. To be honest, I learned more from people on the forums than I did from Mhny.
