I did, 2nd yr applicant. I made it to alternate list last yr.

Do you know how many applicants and alternates they take a year? My understanding is 62-77(?) spots in the program.

Top 66-72 applicants are accepted into the program (30-32 Fall and 36-40 Winter).
Next 40-45 applicants are placed onto an alternate list. (NEVERMIND)

Are you asking how many alternates get accepted? Or how many alternates they will have?

If Its the first it depends. I was informed in 2018 they had gone upto alternate number 35 I believe it was. I was informed by the student themself. Last year for 2019 I believe they went upto alternate number 16.

If it's the 2nd question IDK it depends. I think it's in the 20s at least because my position as an alternate was in the 20s last yr.

Did anyone get a email saying they were in the top 15? My email just says an alternate. But during my interview they made it sound like there was only 15 alternates total and the rest were no’s?

I'm not sure why they do that. I got the same thing last year and when I asked I was told it's not a top 15 alternate just an alternate. Basically we didn't make it. We can't attend the orentientation since we aren't a top 15 alternate

Yes. I got an email stating I’m a top 15 alternate and that I need to attend orientation with the accepted candidates. IDK, they probably put everyone else as alternates just in case they go through the first 15 alternates?

When did you receive email updates from clackamas? I haven’t received any communication since the interview. I heard back from mhcc with an invitation to fall cohort but I was waiting to see what ccc said.

I heard from them May 18 as well. Just got the acceptance from PCC this morning now too. Anyone have any insight into how to choose between the programs?
