Does any one from the list had received the letter with the offer for interview? My number is 3xx, I am just waiting right now.

That's because 536 is from the old list. My log number is 3XX for the new list. I sent in my money orders and got the confirmation letter back from TRS. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say they're probably going to continue calling from the old list til the end of the year and start calling from the new list in 2018... just a guesstimate though!

Nice Place to live. Good luck to those who made it to the waiting list.


(From my reading of the PDF offering, it looks like only 1 Bedroom apartments are being opened up, not studios.)

All the better.

That's what I want to know too. How high is the list before they start over?

Yorkhill Studio List:
Heard from a friend that lives there and that the old list is nearly done.
That means they should probably start calling people off the recent list soon.

I have the floor plans for both studio layouts, anyone interested please send me your direct email
& I will get them out to you!

I contacted the lady who manages York Hill, and she told me that there is maybe 1 or two more people on the old list. So what you're saying makes sense.

What I wonder is how many names there are between applicants. So, do they call number 1 and then number 2, or do they call number 1 and then number 50? We'll never know.

They are supposed to go in numerical order.


My experience with Ruppert House is that the wait list moved about 10 spots per year.

So then someone with a number in the 700s would be waiting 70 years? That... doesn't sound right.

Between number 1 and number 50, for example, there must be people who no longer fit the requirements or can't pony up the cash, so I'm sure even if called numerically it won't go 1 by 1.

But that's the way it is. I was in the 160's and I waited 17 years. I am sure that less desirable ML co-ops like Franklin Plaza and 1099 Houses move faster.


But for the more desirable places, the only real attrition is by the grim reaper.
