I asked the admissions counselor during my interview day and she said it varies by year but they said last year no one came off the waitlist :/
If you look at the SDN thread from last year there were a few acceptances off the waitlist reported, so unless they lied the number is definitely not 0 (but I'm still not keeping my hopes up)

And me!
Does this school give out any financial aid? If so, does anyone know when they do?

What does it mean to be selected as an alternate? Is that the same thing as being waitlisted?
I believe so....when did you interview?
This school seems to waitlist tons of people. Is it normal for them to see a lot of movement then?
I was complete end of July, placed on hold probably sometime in Aug (not entirely sure exactly when I was placed on hold), submitted an update letter also indicating my continued interest on Jan 6th.. still haven't been removed from hold nearly a month later. Is this a bad sign 🙁
Don't know what kind of sign it is, but it's the same sign I have 😵 literally exact same situation.

Has anyone that interviewed in early December (12/8 and on) heard anything back yet? I've heard nothing but silence since my interview...
Seems like the last date they responded to was 11/29 (sorry acetominoFINE, I looked through your post history!)
Ok thanks! I'm just starting to get nervous over here! haha
EDIT: when do you think the committee will meet next?

I speculate they meet every monday, and give decisions on Tuesday/Wednesday, but thats just a guess based on how most decisions have come out on a tuesday or wednesday.

Just because you seem to be a recent interviewee, do you remember what time your interview day ended? Thanks!

The interview day ended way before the scheduled time. Basically you can leave once both your interviews are complete (along with the presentations, lunch, tour). My interviews were back-to-back.

I interviewed in December and I was done by ~1:30 pm if I remember correctly. It'll depend on when your specific interviews are scheduled and how much time you have in between. I had the first interview slot just after lunch and then the next slot for my second one. Other people had their first interview 30 minutes after lunch and then a 30 min break until their next one.
Have you heard back yet from your December interview?
Not yet!
When do you receive our acceptance package in the mail and what does it contain?
Also when do we receive information about financial aid?

Just got an e-mail saying I was placed on the alternate list. Interviewed 12/8. Is there still hope of an acceptance down the road/can anyone shed some light on this?
Could they be getting to Jan interviews soon? Their last December interview was December 16th, and the first one after the break was January 5th
I gave them an update before my interview so I'll likely do the same in the coming days
Just got placed in the Alternate category 
Alternate also

I interviewed December 2nd.
Have you checked the portal?
Yup, same generic thank you for interviewing message...
Hmm.. I wonder if that means they send updates out of order ??
Haha me too good luck!
Declined my II today as I've been accepted to my first-choice program. Good luck everyone!
Interviewed early December....have not heard any news yet. No update on portal.
Me too so no worries. We will probably hear back in the next week or so.
Early december
Sorry to hear that hopefully we see a lot of alternate list movements
That was the most pleasant rejection email I've received yet

Rejected! I've been on hold since July. It's nice to have closure.
Has anyone had any luck getting off the hold?
