UConn 2006 Alternate List

ColbyGuy · Jun 1, 2006

I called Dean Sanford today to check my status on the alternate list. He said they have moved through about 10 people from the first tier and expect some more movement soon. I am in the middle tier and it looks like they would have to move through about 30 or 40 people to get to my spot on the list.

Just curious to see if anyone else heard anything about this year's alternate list or if someone from years past had any insight. Thanks.

I too am in the middle third. I emailed him regarding my situation and was told that they had started to move through the 1st third. Did he tell you that there were approximately 30-40 people per tier or is that just a guess? I'm also wondering if he told you your position within that middle third. Thanks.

He specifically said that the there were a lot of people on in the middle tier, about 35. So I assume that means there are probably about 20 in the top tier. I am around 25-30 in the middle tier, and they have been through 10 in the first tier already. So my estimate was 30-40 people ahead of me.

Hey I was thinking about applying to UConn next year and was just wondering what your stats were? also did they mention anything specific that placed you on the waitlist vs. acceptance? Good luck with the waitlist hopfully it'll work out for you!

I am apparently 15 spots into the middle third, Dr. Sanford said to check back 2nd week in July. does anyone know how far they've gotten into the waitlist in previous years?

Yeah, the waitlist movement seems to be slower this year than in past ones. I'm on the top tier and was told to check back towards the later part of June, so the middle tier probably will not see any movement until July.

If you do a search for posts by "rudi" from last year, this person was in the middle tier http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=2737405#post2737405... and then posted that s/he was accepted in one of the waitlist threads around 6/29, so I guess it's just a matter of waiting things out and seeing how movement progresses these next few months. :luck:

Congrats risnwb!!! Were you notified via e-mail, phone, or snail mail? So are you choosing UConn over Einstein then??

Thanks microgin, I was notified via snail mail. And i did choose UConn of Einstein. It actually didn't take too much thought. I was just enticed by Einstein's ranking but I think I will get an equal if not better education at UConn. Hope you hear back soon too!

And here I was waiting for an e-mail or phone call.... I've been looking in the wrong places 😛 Hopefully I'll be seeing you in the fall!!
