@dara.young I agree, I would call or email them directly because your GPA was higher than mine and I’m an alternate. Last round I didn’t get in on a technicality and this time I qualified but am low on the alternate list.

I called, they did send me the wrong email and sent me the correct one with an alternate number, but I don’t believe the waitlist will get that far down (especially since they are doing alternate 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc). So, they did make a mistake, but the new outcome may not help me much. ? Even though the enrollment site shows 72 seats, I was told there were the usual 45 admitted for Spring, so I’m not sure why it says 72, or who is making up those extra seats.

Wow, they had four-five weeks and by the looks of the mistakes they’ve had it seems like they reviewed and sent results out all in one day. Well if there’s a 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 there’s no hope. There must have been a lot of applicants this year. Good luck to everyone applying for the Summer and to the ones that got accepted!!

They gave me alternate number 7. I did just speak with an advisor (not my usual one) who said the half numbers weren’t necessarily for all of the alternate spots, (there may be a 5.5 but not a 7.5). It seems like there is different info every time I call, so I’m interested in what others are hearing as well. I’m trying to decide if I should put the time and effort into applying for June, considering the Spring class had a record number of applicants, wondering if June will be more of the same?

I just checked on the website and the Summer application is already on there. Am right there at alternate 10 but am still hopeful that things might turn around. But if it doesn't. Am gonna apply for the Spring session

Yay,Dara! That is still a great alternate number! You never know what may happen in peoples lives that may cause them to need to drop. Keep the positive vibes going! ✨ Best of luck and hope to see you in the program!

Has anyone who was placed on the alternate list heard anything different?

dara.young · Nov 9, 2020

Just checked my email, nothing today. Anyone else have any updates?

Tonja · Nov 9, 2020

I haven’t heard anything yet either.

Tonja · Nov 12, 2020

I just got accepted! I’m alternate 2 so I’m predicting that they’re starting the alternate list now. Get ready alternates!?

dara.young · Nov 12, 2020

I got my acceptance email just now, alternate #7!

You too Dara! Were you as shocked as I was? I wonder how long down the alternate list they’re going to go considering the unusually high number of applicants this time around.
