Yep this is true. I turned down a school but I’m still in their fb group

I’m still in the Facebook group for the pharmacy school I almost went to. Thanks University of Colorado Class of 2022!

Does anyone know if the admissions office is available to reach over the phone? I’m worried that they have not received my deposit in time and when I call I keep getting their voicemail!

Is it just me or has there been much much much less UC movement the past few months than compared to past years?

agreed

My theory: Because of Covid-19, there has been delays everywhere. Perhaps, students are not withdrawing their Albany acceptances just yet because they have not heard back from their other preferred choice. This would slow down UC movement.

Take my situation as an example: I am waiting for a decision from another school whose cycle trend is immensely different than last year’s! Only after April 30th will there hopefully be movement.

Also, the pandemic is changing everyone’s mindset. People are withdrawing from their top choice and making difficult decisions just to be closer to home and family. I too have been very
anxious from not hearing back from other schools.
But, we have no control, all we can do is be patient.

Agreed. Not a rule, but a majority of their communication appears to be on Mondays.

I see the email says "the Alternate will become available shortly after you receive this email," so I guess we have to wait a a little bit.

Same

 

[Dr.EMD]

Do they send the alt list email to everyone on the UC list?

 

[MaelTheSun]

Do they send the alt list email to everyone on the UC list?

Going by last years thread, no

Are you on UC and didn't get an alt list email? I am on UC and got one. Not just how we could know if everyone on UC got the email though haha

 

[futuredoctor123456789]

just got the Alt email also #womp

 

[medschoolapplicant123]

Do they send the alt list email to everyone on the UC list?

Not according to their FAQ

The alternate list is a condensed version of the under consideration list. In May, a select number of applicants from the under consideration list will receive an Alternate List Response form asking if they are still interested in being considered for admission.

But who knows if they actually went by what the FAQ says.

[CatDad26]

never thought id be so excited to see an email that basically says "hey you're still on the waitlist"... praying these turn into A's for us

 

[futuredoctor123456789]

i logged in but there's no thing to select that you want me to be on the alt list. hopefully that pops up shortly

 

[CaptainWEMT]

Alternate list email a little bit ago. I have not been able to access the form, will try again later today/tomorrow.

 

[scorpion2020]

Is it possible to get a scholarship off the alt list?

 

[YCAGA]

You mean like get a scholarship before you are accepted?

 

[Sometimescold]

Praying for us!

 

[futuredoctor123456789]

after

 

[scorpion2020]

I meant after. Some schools give out scholarships to students when they are accepted after being in the waitlist. I was asking if Albany does that too.

 

[Sometimescold]

I wonder when accepting the Alt List invite option will show up on the portal

 

[techytechy]

I dont think Albany awards merit aid

 

[Dr.EMD]

Alt lists are so funny to me cus this is what's actually happening.

Students (us): Hey we want to go here.
Med Schools: You're not good enough for us just yet.
Other students: Your med school isn't good enough for me.
Med School to Us: Hey...so...you still wanna come through?

 

[Sometimescold]

Were there any rejections handed out?

 

[CatDad26]

last year after alternative list form was due, lots of people were accepted right away the next day!! Tuesday could be a big day!!!!
