Housing lottery - how bad is it?

<p>Well, this is embarrasing. I forgot to check the email and just plain ol' missed the housing offer deadline. Now I'm on the lottery. Would I get a residence hall room come August? That's really more or less my only option since I'm an international.</p>

<p>Also, how do I apply for lottery at all? The email directs me to myhousing/Undergraduate Housing Application, but nothing about how to proceed from there.</p>

<p>I know nothing about the lottery, but I’m sure you should complete the housing application first.</p>
