Congrats if you got in right away and hopefully if you are an alternate you'll get in as well. Now I can relax and focus on checking things off the checklist.
Sounds like that was just some student helper. Last time I applied I got a alternate notice from a Brandee Morgan. She doesn't answer emails though. I'd try to call that person.
Um. Do they just have one person reviewing these applications. This is ridiculous. I hate this limbo status though I feel pretty sure I'm in I just want that confirmation. This is just so frustrating.
