Add a Prospect to the Lottery

Prospects are added to the lottery in two ways. If all the requirements up to a decision step are completed, the prospect is marked 'Waiting for Decision' and is added to the lottery. You can also add a prospect to the lottery by waitlisting them.

To set a prospect's admissions decision as 'Waitlisted', follow these steps:

1. On the left navigation menu, click   Prospects.
2. Click the prospect you want to add to the lottery.
3. On the Decision Prospect Card, in the Snapshot or Admissions section, click .
4. In the Change Decision dialog box, click Wait Listed.
5. Optional:  In the Reason drop-down list, select a reason for the decision.
6. Click Save.
   

After adding a prospect to the lottery, we recommend immediately going to the Lottery page and editing the prospect's data in the Sibling At School and Live In District columns if those columns are included in your lottery view. By default, 'N' is entered.
