I think they do rank folks on the wait list....they did last year anyway. Perhaps your letter may spell that out.

Here's a story of hope for the people on alternate lists. A CRNA in the OR that I worked in shared with me that she was put on the alternate list and actually got called just 2 weeks before the program started. She gave an immediate resignation letter, borrowed money from family members to get started, and made the move. Point of her story was to stay ready and don't lose hope.

Speaking of bad news, I found out that I didn't even make the interviews for UAB. Stupidity on my part actually. I'm too embarrassed to tell the whole story. I will say that whatever it takes, you should check and recheck that all your materials arrive to the correct spot. I trusted that my GRE scores were there since I received a receipt from the GRE people stating that the scores had been sent. Well, turns out those scores were indeed sent to the school, but to the general graduation admissions office, not to the anesthesia admissions office. But that's only part of it.

Oh well, I'm not dead, so I guess I'm a little stronger today. :sniff:
