<p>Just got a reply back from PC:</p>
<p><<Thank you for contacting Panther Central! As long as your son meets his deposit deadline, he will be a guaranteed student. Those that meet this guarantee will be put into a lottery pool and place their preferences. In short, this means your son will want to pay by the deadline, but will not gain advantage by paying it earlier rather than later.</p>
<p>If you have any other questions feel free to contact Panther Central!</p>

<p>Doesn’t look like there will be a change unless they haven’t forwarded the info down to PC.</p>
