Hi Maliao9. Did you call the school to be a stand by or did they email you? I got 75 points and did not get accepted. Pretty bummed out. This is my third time applying.

Hi Smith, I had a discrepancy in my transcript evaluation. But they reviewed it, and fixed it. I'm not in, just an alternate. Did your denial letter say why you weren't accepted? Mine said it at the bottom. Maybe call and ask how you can improve?

I'm in !!!!!! I can't believe it :) I called and I guess I didn't put foreign language down on my app. They fixed it and now I'm in. Alternates don't lose hope cuz he said several people have declined their spots so he will probably be sending out emails again Fri or Mon :)

Awesome!

Malia09 · Dec 13, 2012

I wonder how many alternates there are? Any ideas?

ChairmanX · Dec 13, 2012

Accepted! They miscalculated the total points, see you all on Monday :)

Houdinni · Dec 13, 2012

were you randomly selected?

How do I find out if I was randomly selected? I have all my GE requirements done, but other people here had higher points than me so maybe I was randomly selected. Congrats to all who got in!

Congratz to everyone accepted! Don't worry if you are on alternate lists, make sure you call them and ask about your total points, there might be a mis-calculation.

I believe it's sort of a "wait list" to the actual acceptees meaning that those that are on the alternate list will fill in the spots of the "no shows" or people who decline the acceptance. Basically, you or other alternates will be accepted depending on the amount of no shows. I'm not exactly sure how the alternate list works but I think it's like that.

Like for me at Mt. SAC, we have an alternate list as well where they were called into the program for those that either did not respond to the acceptance letter or show up at orientation. The acceptance letter needed to be signed and turned in person in order to "complete" the acceptance as well as orientation.

I'd say that you're in luck if you at least get on the alternate list. Means you might get a spot in Spring depending on the amount of no shows and if not, I'm pretty sure you'll be for sure in this coming fall 2013.

Chairmanx did u receive another email from them stating that u were accepted? I'm so confused. He said I am accepted and that he would send another email to me but I didn't receive one. I called today and he is not there. Don't we have to accept by today??
