Prepare: Marking a Post Enrollment Application as Eligible for the Lottery

As you may know, all applications submitted after your Open Enrollment End Date will be marked as not eligible to be run in your lottery. These post-deadline applications are labeled in SchoolMint as “post-enrollment” or PE. Applications that were submitted before your deadline are labeled “open enrollment” or OE.

PE applications will either be marked to go straight into the waitlist after the lottery (below the students who are run in the lottery), or will remain in “submitted” status if you have informed SchoolMint that you will be running multiple lotteries.

As an Admin, you can manually change this label, allowing certain applications to go into the lottery even if the deadline was missed, or holding others back. To do this, click on the application. Next to “Application type,” click in the pencil icon:
