An alternate means that for every student that does not accept their acceptance, the spot is then given to an alternate. For instance, if you are alternate #3, then 3 people would have to give up their spot before the acceptance would be offered to you. DON'T LET THIS GET YOU DOWN because sometimes many students that are accepted will have numerous reasons why they cannot accept the acceptance. What alternate # are you if you don't mind me asking? CPCC is a large school. In fact, the largest community college in NC. Good luck to you
I was waitlisted #13 did not get in,then the next sem I was wl #15 and got in! People apply to more than one school, things come up and there is paperwork, background check, ect to turn in by certain date or they lose the spot- that is how I got in..I finish in December-woot! I have loved my CPCC experience!
I was #10 on the alternate list at GTCC and was accepted...they ended up going all the way up to like #43 on the list. As other posters have stated...people are accepted to other schools and decide to go there instead...Mainly FTCC here in the triad area. Don't give up, there is still hope!
Good luck!
