My guide told us that VB other than Easter is doable at 7 months(that's why we did an add-on with just enough points for our Spring Break). Now he does always qualify "doable at 7 months" with you might have to go on the waitlist.
They have no dedicated 1br but 36 lockoffs.
I would just call day by day if it let's you sleep at night.
We did a studio at the 7 month mark for Late Aug .
Then at the 6 month mark added another studio .
A week later we switched both of them to a 2bdrm all with no problem at all.
