HELP!!! Fresno City College Alternate

I was originally sent a letter stating that I was "unselected" for the Spring '09 semester. I then received a letter stating that my status had been upgraded from "unselected" to "alternate". I went to take my TEAS test and I passed. I found out that I was the #6 alternate. I talked to the lady that proctors the test and she said that they would let us know before going on Christmas break. Well, as of today 1/4/09 I haven't heard anything from them, so I am assuming that I did not get in. My question is does anyone know: If I am the #6 alternate am I guarenteed a spot in the next semester? Or do I get put back in the lottery for the next drawing? I have tried calling, emailing etc...and no body knows? You would think after doing this for umpteen years that they would know what they do with the alternates. Does anyone out there know????
Thanks
