Weird that AL was sent prior to filling seats? Or is that typical?

Idk if it’s typical or not but it was certainly unexpected given how AMC had explained it and how the previous years’ threads had portrayed the situation. Best of luck everyone. I hope we’ll get to meet one day

That's typical. Waitlist is generated after AL is complete.

Does every UC get an alternate invite email or is this more selective?

this is more selective...not everyone from UC gets into AL

 

[elijahR]

That's what I thought, thanks. I was just confused with the wording of the email. Congrats guys!

 

[armaragon]

PLUS, seats are still available BEFORE MAY 1st...I think a lot of us will be happy by the end of june 😀

 

[Achnologiast]

What does it mean if you're UC but didn't get the AL ?

 

[happythoughtss]

does anyone think well get a confirmation email that the AL form was submitted

 

[bigsgr]

This is speculation on my end, but it could be that a person isn't that high enough on the ranked WL and isn't being further considered

 

[radsboi]

I never received a confirmation my application was complete / under review, so I'm gonna guess no lol

From last years thread; they had similar problems with resubmission being possible on the Alternate Form. It seems to be normal and many of them chose to email the adcom just incase.

I submitted the form, ur saying that we should email as well?

 

[elijahR]

I'm worried about emailing them because they state that they don't want us to email them

 

[bigsgr]

lmao don't email them

 

[Irkutzian]

I guess im kinda confused. Why would amc make a UC list and then not accept anyone off that list? Why not just start with the AL?

I believe they are expecting lots of withdrawals around April 30th, so they might as well just wait until the dust settles and start pulling then?

 

[sports215]

Also moved from UC to AL today! Fingers crossed for some good news soon

Hey Bigsgr can you tell us where you got that information?

I sure hope you are right!

 

[armaragon]

Does anyone know if you are chosen off of the alternate list, does AMC email or call you? I know we had to provide our numbers but that was just for the month of august for some reason?

I think they email As all other times but call in August since by then its literally right before class starts and they need an answer ASAP to fill their class

"Yoooo classes start in 20 minutes you in cuz?"

Yah makes sense, thank you!

 

[Irkutzian]

I sure hope you are right!

so is it expected that only people on the AL will be pulled for acceptances now?

 

[armaragon]

I believe so.

 

[Achnologiast]

It sounds like the overwhelming majority on the UC list has been placed on the alternate list

 

[Arcticor]

Thanks bigsgr! I got my alternate list invite earlier and was a bit confused

 

[Achnologiast]

I'm guessing the chance of getting off the UC list is probably close to 25% at this point assuming 50 people were R or not placed on AL post II... So ~125seats left/ (750 II - 50 Rs -200 A's)

How do you know there are 125 seats left?

[LiteralLungs]

After I submitted the alternate response form it said I successfully submitted it. Now when I click back into the Alternate Response tab it shows me my responses but looks like it has the option to resubmit? Just wanted to make sure others who submitted their alternate response form are seeing the same thing!

UC movement is no more, its just alternate list movement...AMC will pull starting off early May and can go well into August, so buckle in!

 

[Dr.EMD]

I'd put that deposit down.

 

[armaragon]

I'd put that deposit down.

Hey Dr.EMD, quick question because your were on the alt. list last year...in the alt list email last year, did they mention they still had open seats like they did this year?

 

[Dr.EMD]

Yup! Exact same email. That's why I said it'd be safe to put down a deposit to the other school.
