Sent admissions office an email after I was notified of their decision to put me on the Alternate List. Said basically that I know you can't tell me exactly where I am on the list but that any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
 
I imagine the last thing they would want to do is get your hopes up for no reason...I do believe I recall other people being told the exact opposite so there is no way its a standard response, but I would be interested to know exactly what it means!

Agreed. That would be a pretty cruel thing to tell someone in the middle or on the bottom of the list. Hope it works out for you. I have a feeling that FIU is a school that experiences significant movement around May 15th!
 
Thanks buddy! I think you are right, I believe they did say they expect heavy movement real soon. If other schools give twice as many acceptances or so as they have seats it would only make sense that FIU has alot more to go since they were restricted to only giving 120 and waiting for declines before giving more.
 
Withdrew my acceptance here... I kind of think I am half crazy for doing so because they basically offered to pay for the majority of my education, but I know wouldn't be happy in Miami for multiple reasons...
I genuinely hope one of you gets my spot and receives the VERY generous tuition scholarship that I'm giving up!!!
 
I just got accepted today! 32O 3.4/3.3 in-state! I am so happy! Best of luck to all of those still waiting, I know how painful and ulcer producing it can be.
 
I also was accepted this afternoon! I only have until the 14th to decide if I will keep my seat. Good luck to everyone else!

Edit: Turned down acceptance yesterday.

I completed my application in August, interviewed in January, was wait-listed in april, and was accepted yesterday! FIU HWCOM is the number one school I want to go to so I withdrew my application from another school and will see you all this August 6, 2012. Congrats!

Congrats to you! Glad to hear there has been some movement and there is still hope for those of us still on the alternate list. I completed the application around the same time, also interviewed the beginning of January and have been on the alternate list for a few months now. FIU is also my number one choice and am hoping and praying for some good news this week. Out of curiousity, did you hear via email or phone call?
 
Just found out I have been accepted off the alternate list...officially part of the class of 2016 and could not be happier. Good luck to those still waiting!
 
I interviewed here in August. The second interview date. I was put on the alt list in Jan. This has been the longest few months... stressful not knowing!! But today I received an acceptance email, around 6:30pm! I am so excited to be joining the Class of 2016! No call, just email. stats for those curious 31Q, 3.8/3.7sci.

Best of luck to those still waiting! Good things come to those who wait! I'm a believer!
 
Accepted finally, my first acceptance!

Received e-mail at 9.50am this morning. OOS, 3.3/35R

I interviewed end of October and placed on alternate list in February. Those of you still waiting, be patient, have faith you may be next.

I received a call the other day asking if I am still interested because they said I was high on the waitlist so depending on if spots opened up they might be able to offer me a spot next week. Did anyone else receive a call?
 
I don't know if you mean "financial aid package" as in loan dispursment or anything, however I was offered a full tuition scholarship on 5-16 🙂

Not sure if that's what you're looking for
 
I was accepted off the alternate list yesterday via phone call. I just (right now) relinquished the seat. I was offered a 1/2 instate tuition scholarship of 14K per year, but this was not enough. Also, I was disappointed that the offer came so late in the season.... Oh well. Hope someone gets it who really wants to go here!
