Being chosen as an Alternate. Is it as awful as I feel?

[OrthoFNP]

I was chosen as an alternate for school and I am pretty devastated. I am not sure how to feel. Is it as bad as I feel? Has anyone ever been chosen as an alternate and still gotten in? Please help me feel better. I can not stop crying here...

I hope you do!!! Your situation sounds VERY promising. I hope I hear something soon too. :)

I got chosen as an alternate at Tidewater Community College and I feel like total poop! I have been crying for a couple of days now. BUt the way I look at is at least we didn't get flat out rejected. We must have met all of the requirments for the program, but there were probably a few students who had better grades or something. I just wonder if because we were chosen as alternates if we will be first choice when they put together a new class.... I am not sure, but I hope so :wink2:

I was put on the alternate list for Stony Brook's 2 yr program. Does anyone know how the list works?

Thanks!
