Still worried! A few years ago a perfect score was no guarantee. Are they trying to give us all heart attacks, staggering notifications?

Not everyone got perfect scores. The odds of that are slim. I asked - and on average 1/3 of those accepted get 50/50 - depending on the pool of applicants. I honestly think that there is a large pool of 48/50. If so - they will pick the alternates and the 50/50 essays first, of course.

So let's just say that there are 48 spots, and 24 people have 360+ points. 24 Spots are gone. They will choose 49/50 essay scores next (which are probably few because I've never even heard of a 49/50 score). So at this point let us assume there are about 20 spots left. If there are 50 people with 48/50, then they have other ways of weeding people out, but few will be weeded out most likely.

Then as a last resort, they will randomly choose from the 48/50 pool to determine who are the alternates and who get accepted. Not getting an email yet is a good thing :)

We'll I think since there are only 3 previous applicants, I think you'll be fine! Ha

I don't have an email

Okay. So I just heard that someone with a 358 was NOT accepted, but they got a C in BI231 - so that means that there ARE too many in the 358 pool and they had to resort to the class grade BI231 tie-breaker. They might be using random selection at this point, but it's at the 358 pool level - just as I suspected. The anticipation IS KILLING ME!!!

I'm going to have a myocardial infarction.... just throwing that out there. lol this is absolute torture!

Totally! I JUST WANT TO KNOW ALREADY! HAHAHA! Not much I can do about waiting. I just hate getting my hopes up when they might be crushed!

I completely understand

I'm sorry TMFK1005, but if your friend has 50/50 on the essay with full points and then DIDN'T get in, then how on earth did someone with the total points of 358/360 get to be alternate #8 - as someone posted earlier on this thread?

That doesn't make any sense. Maybe they do background checks before they email acceptance letters and your friend didn't pass?

Yea. Because if you are trying to psych people out for some reason, that just wouldn't be cool...Please don't post things unless you are absolutely sure - this is just way too highly emotional for everyone who still has a chance...
