I thought so too. Just wanted to make sure because I saw last year's thread where some users said that waitlist and alternate lists are two different things.

When did you interview ?Got the alternate letter too. Does anyone have an idea of how many usually get accepted before fall? Also, is there one list for both Erie and SH?
3/22When did you interview ?
Anyone from 4/5 get a portal update?
Same hereI was part of the 4/23 update, I got hit with the alternate list. They say that they'll notify of a potential acceptance in the third week of July.
At least it's something, but I'm definitely salty that some folks got an acceptance a week after their interview and it took them nearly three months to bother updating me on my current status.

Thanks for the info. Just received an email stating they are done interviewing and they will start to look at alternate applicants.I emailed admissions about this and they had responded by saying they have their last interviews on Friday and they will continue to add people to their alternate list until then.
"Once the class has been filled our alternates will be contacted any time a vacancy becomes available and they are needed to fill in. This process sees movement in May, June, and the beginning of July. There is not an exact probability of an individual’s chances of being placed into the class."
So for all of us on the waitlist, I wouldn't hold your breath.
Would you mind screenshotting the email for us? To give us hope...Thanks for the info. Just received an email stating they are done interviewing and they will start to look at alternate applicants.
I was under the impression that the waitlist was unrankedI am waitlisted at Seton Hill. I called Ms Dandar and she said that interviews are still going till May 10 and they will compile a ranking for the waitlist after that day but cant give out the rankings. But people can be pulled off from then till the first day of class so its a coin toss.
99 people in the facebook groupDoes anyone know if the class is filled or not? I know it wasn't at the end of March but I'm sure people have been accepted since then.
Hey guys had my interview on 4/19, and portal updated (today I think) to "The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail, typically, within 14 days." What do you all think, good or bad sign? Feeling really anxious.

Maybe they meant after their interviews this week, they were going to start looking at the alternative list.. not necessarily that the last interview date in general was this week. I’d went onto the lecom portal, it actually says the last inverview date is may 16th.
Can someone point me to the thread from last years application period? I can't seem to find it

Nope, still waiting.....Anyone get an update?
When did you interview,?Nope, still waiting.....
edit:
I just checked and they changed my status! Now the dreaded waiting game for the letter....
I interviewed 3/22! They said they were about a week behind when I called last Friday.When did you interview,?
Howd you do in the interview?Okay so my status still hasn't changed and I interviewed 3/15. I have called 2x and they said they are behind on releasing decisions but I am confused because people that interviewed 1+ month after me are receiving decisions. Does anyone know if making someone wait this long is a bad sign? My stats are 3.85 GPA, 3.95sGPA with 4.0's for my last 4 semesters, 509 MCAT, good ECs and research
Howd you do in the interview?
I'm not sure man your stats are good, so I don't know why they haven't gotten back to youI thought I did well. I spoke plenty during the group interview and felt I was succinct/clear in the individual interview.
I feel like you're a dream student for LECOM. I'd take you over me, that's for sure. Keep your head up, if this year isn't the year for you, next year will be. Prayers that you get in (and that I do, I suppose )I thought I did well. I spoke plenty during the group interview and felt I was succinct/clear in the individual interview.

I am in the same boat as you, interviewed 3/15 and my portal still did not change. I emailed them and they said that they are reviewing all applicants and decisions will be released soon. I don't know if it has something to do with what program we listed as #1, if that determines when they review applications. Very annoyed with how long the process is taking and makes me question my interest in the program.Okay so my status still hasn't changed and I interviewed 3/15.
