Also on the alternate list. Waiting for Dean Strother's response now. Hoping for the best. I will just be happy to be higher on the list than my last cycle haha
I sent an email to Mr NS last week on Friday that I did not get my final decision letter. He responded the same day, that 'the letters were mailed out today'. I checked today and got the Acceptance. Your's may be en route. I think the movement has already started; as I was on hold, and got the letter today.I'm top 3rd too. Hmm, I guess it's a waiting game. When does movement generally happen?
Were you placed on the alternate list and then immediately accepted? Or were you just on hold and never an alternate?I sent an email to Mr NS last week on Friday that I did not get my final decision letter.

I asked Dean Strother if I was in some alternate list. I never got a response to that. I was just told that final decision letters have been mailed out and to check the mail. And so I was shocked to get an Acceptance, since I never expected it to begin with. I may have been put on an alternate list, but I am not sure. Or, perhaps I made it through the final decision in regular cycle.Were you placed on the alternate list and then immediately accepted? Or were you just on hold and never on an alternate?
Ok I gotcha. I expect you were just in the last round of acceptances from the regular cycle.I asked Dean Strother if I was in some alternate list. I never got a response to that.

I suppose so. So many years (5+) have gone into this day. I left a career in Engg, IT, to become a pre-med and now this. I don't know how to process this news yet.Ok I gotcha. I expect you were just in the last round of acceptances from the regular cycle.
Did y'alls letters offer advice on what to do to improve your application for next year?
Keep us updated!I'm living off of all yalls good news! I'm not home to check my mail (and it's killing me lol) but it's awesome to hear about y'all!!
Top third, but I think that means past >60
Yep. Being top third by no means is a guarantee. If you're in the top half of that part, chances are good as they in the past few years have accepted in the upper fifties from the alternate list and there are about 82 people in that top third.
Ahhh, perhaps, I keep telling myself though that if I was top 50, he'd say that instead of top 3rd
edit: Plus, I'm worried b/c I'm going out of the country for a month, so I'm trying to get apartments done ASAP. D:
From past years, I don't believe he has given any indication other than which third you're a part of.
I noticed in last years thread that a lot were told a little more specifics. Like top 30, top 60, top 75 etc.
Upper third here. I'm wondering if there is a chance that they are not telling specific numbers ? I'd like to be optimistic that some of us are in the top 50.Who knows though...
I was just told I'm in the top third, as well. Did Mr. Strother's response to y'all say that he is letting everyone know that they need to be sure and have a secondary plan as they don't know the number of offers they'll send out? Hoping that wasn't just an addition to mine pretty much saying "better luck next year chump"

I'm in the middle third and was told the exact same thing. Most likely a template as I'm sure he's gotten hundreds of emails this week.

Does this mean I'm not the only "old" person in the class? 5+ years for me as well!I suppose so. So many years (5+) have gone into this day. I left a career in Engg, IT, to become a pre-med and now this. I don't know how to process this news yet.
Does anyone know if you can defer/delay matriculation after accepting the offer? I may need to do this, but don't really want to email the admissions office this questions. Thanks!
Thanks! I already have an offer, but was wondering if I can defer/delay after I've accepted their offer.It seems like you definitely can. View attachment 218691

I am right there with you, and look forward to seeing you in class. Until Aug then....Does this mean I'm not the only "old" person in the class? 5+ years for me as well!
Has anyone themselves heard anything other than "top 1/3"? Last year, if you were placed in the top 1/3 you were typically told where, at least for my friends.

Last time I talked to him he sounded really stressed so just a heads up that he might not be his usual chipper selfI wonder if we could email Dean Strother, citing that people were told more specific in previous cycles and try and get some more info from him?

I was thinking that too about people not talking. I'm still waiting on a letter. I changed my address so I'm hoping that doesn't effect anythigI would wait a bit... I imagine his office phone and email has blown up everyday this week. As far as the Top 1/3 thing goes, I guess my concern is there seems to be less SDN action compared to last year as far as people commenting where they are, but I know applications for this cycle were down as well.
