If you fail to submit your application by the lottery deadline date/time, your application will still be accepted but please keep in mind:
1. Your application will not take place in the lottery.
2. Your application will be processed and added to the waitlist on a first come, first served basis AFTER the applications that took place in the lottery.
While we understand that missing the deadline can be frustrating, applicants are given ample time (anywhere from 30 – 90 days, depending on the lottery) to submit their application. Following these lottery procedures closely helps ensure a fair and equal opportunity for all participants.
