THIS! I've grown up, worked, and studied in communities similar to that in which HUCM is situated and CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE going elsewhere for medical school.

Congrats aamir89!
I spent the past week and weekend excited to hear some news this week and have not been able to stop thinking about an HUCM acceptance, my future life in DC, and planning for an HUCM education.
I just got home from a pre-operation appointment with my mother, who's undergoing surgery for her shoulder this upcoming Friday, and checked my email. I received an email telling me that I was placed on the Super Alternate list. I'm in tears over this email, but am trying not to lose hope. Does anyone know what it means relative to those in the Alternate status? I am really thankful, but bummed out by this status update. I've reached a point where I don't want to settle for anything less than HUCM because of the legacy, the social mission it is executing so well, the faculty, the camaraderie of the students, the physical location in DC, etc. As I said earlier, my whole family was extremely eager about this decision because attending HUCM will give me the opportunity to realize our dream of me becoming a physician, while still being in close proximity at home. As I've said in the past, my family, especially my mother, needs me. I've been staying up with her the past few nights as she suffers from pain in her shoulder and migraines that last several ours through the night trying to comfort her. I'm thankful that she is in the position to finally receive surgery for her pain and hopefully relieve some of our family's suffering.
I'd appreciate any advice you guys can give at this point 🙁. Thank you.
