I also talked to National yesterday.. it’s just way too much money , have you looked into college of sequoias, Modesto, Merced, Bakersfield, west hills? What are your stats?

So, the lottery was drawn. People were selected but they cannot post who was selected until they are all viewed to be eligible. If a selected person is ineligible, they move on to the 1st alternate.
In that case it does screw with odds, it’s completely false that this is not screwing with odds, if they drew 220 and people aren’t eligible and they start going through alternates it means technically less than 220 eligible people were drawn... traditionally it was 220 eligible people were drawn and if of the 200 that were actually selected declined then they would go through alternates.

Did you seriously apply to all of those?! Kudos to you!
It's definitely easier to get rejected when you have other programs yet to hear from.

Maybe they drew a greater alternate pool to compensate?

They did wait until Friday to rip off the band aid. I just got Unselected this morning. Good Luck to everyone still pending.
