I did this a few years ago in the summer in NYC because competition was high, we were three grad students, two of us had out of the country guarantors, and we needed to move in in less than a week. I would absolutely not do this now, I see zero reason unless you really think you're not going to get approved (i.e. no income, low credit score, an apartment above 40x your rent, etc.)
