Not guaranteed housing as incoming 1st year?

Hi everyone, I'm a perspective student wanting to go to Pitt main campus for the fall of 2026.

When I applied, I was unfortunately waitlisted, but I still had hope to get in.

Luckily, I recently was ACCEPTED! But it was after May 1st.

The reason that's so important is because housing is only guaranteed if you commit before May 1st, which I was not able to due to being on the waitlist and only being accepted after that.

I am wondering if that means I'm SOL and just have to hope to get housing or if there's something I can do.

I want to go to Pitt, but my parents and I are a little stressed because of the not guaranteed housing.

I was just wondering if anybody could help me out on what my next best steps would be.
