I was placed on the top 15 alternate list. Does anyone know how many they usually accept off the alternate list? I know it can change year to year and this year is going to be extra uncertain. But any insight would be nice. CONGRATS to anyone who got in! Must be a huge relief.

Did you email specify that you were in the top 15 alternate list? I just got an email stating I was an alternate.

I got rejected from PCC, MHCC and CCC.

I'm on a wait list for LBCC. Did anyone apply to LBCC?

Yes, it specified top 15 and that I have to attend the mandatory orientation on June 11th.

I am still waiting for MHCC, but that will probably be in early June. I am also on the waitlist for LBCC. What number are you on the alternate list of LBCC?

user2000 · May 19, 2020

Hey MRA, I'm #112 LOL. I'm not sure what the number actually means. There's no way that 112 people are on a wait list. Maybe it means I'm #12? I might send an email to find out.. How about you?

WOW!!, lets hope they meant #12. Are you from the Albany area? I know students from the linn county area get preference. I was #22...a little discouraging.

No I'm not from there. I'm from Portland Metro Area. Yeah I missed out on residence points. I don't have high hopes for LBCC. I'm also working on Concordia's application right now. Good luck though!!

Congratulations to those that got an acceptance into Clackamas! I’m now on the alternate list for Clackamas, and Linn Benton. I’m still hoping to get into PCC...I believe by the beginning of June they should let us know :) I did feel as if I struggled with my Clackamas interview, even though everyone was so kind and welcoming! Are any of you waiting to hear back from PCC?

So did Clackamas specify that you were in the top 15 for the alternate? I inquired about how many alternates were on the list but they could not tell me?

USER1156 · May 19, 2020

For anyone that got a alternate email from Clackamas, did they specify if you were in the top 15 or did they just say you were on the alternate list. I tried asking them about how many people were on the alternate list but was given no info.

The email was mostly boilerplate and COVID info. The deadline is May 29, so I'd expect to see some movement June 1.
In our interview, they said they'll admit a full 24 person cohort if it's in person instruction, but less if they have to do online classes. So I imagine no one's getting placement numbers because there's too much uncertainty due to COVID.
& Congratulations to those who made the alternate list too, hope there's movement and you get in!

Did they let you know of a orientation date?
