No

According to macnyc2003, "MollieMay said she was called to view one-bedrooms when she was in the mid-65s on that list."

What happens to those 60+ applicants ahead of MollieMay? Can we assume that they are not interested (but somehow they are still listed as active on the external applicant lists)?

I am currently in the low 100s, can I assume that there are only 40+ applicants ahead of me? If so, I will be very happy.

I assume those 60 people ahead of MollieMay didn’t reply to Penn South for whatever reason: no longer interested, moved, died, didn’t have the money, etc.

I would say you have an excellent chance of being called in the next six months.

They're making you view 20+ apartments at a time, so I assume they are showing to 20+ people at a time.

macnyc2003, I wish what you said is correct. I certainly like to be called in the next 6 months.

Also I don't understand why they would still be on the list as "active" if that's the case because my letter said if they didn't hear from me within a week of the sent date of the letter (which is a joke these days as it often takes me 6 weeks to receive my mail), that they would remove me from the list.

Doubtful I live next door to an available 1BR and only two parties (a lovely older couple and a off-putting individual) have come to see it.

I don't mind viewing 20+ apartments at a time, as long as I have a chance to view.

1) Does Penn South contact people by email and regular mail?

2) Do they ever ask to see your current residence? (My brother was on a ML list and 10 years ago when he was called, they requested to see his current lease and apartment.)
