I was put on the alternate list. Not good news, but not necessarily bad either. I was told that I would be notified by email by the January 21st start date if a spot opens up for me. The complicated thing is that I've been accepted to DSN and that program starts on January 6th (I think). My fear is that I will start at DSN and then be told a spot at Metro is then available. Hopefully I'll hear from Metro soon... Congrats to those who got in! -N
