Is this implying that their class is full?? That’s seems odd as they said they only accept a few directly from interviews and most acceptances come from the AL.. and it seems like there hasn’t been much movement..
The neuroticism is to be expected, we're getting closer and closer to having to reapply, and none of us are looking forward to spending $4k again and suffering through another year of stress
I am going to say what I think schools like Albany and others do for their cycles, but this pure speculation so take it with a grain of salt. With schools like Albany, a lot of people accepted that get into other schools may go somewhere else (most NYers would assumingly prefer instate tuition, higher-ranked schools may also be preferred). So for schools like this, "lower-ranked" private schools, I think a lot of people are waitlisted. This is to prevent tons of deliberation, figuring out financial aid, and giving lots of resources to students who will not end up going. By waitlisting a lot of interviewees, the waitlist will dwindle down as others hear back from schools they would prefer. Now, late in the season, they have a much shorter list of people with Albany, or whichever school, as their choice. This way, they can send out fewer acceptances and use fewer resources to fill their class. Unfortunately, this does delay the cycle and puts a lot of stress on applicants. That being said, I think it makes sense (if this is what it is done, again take this with a grain of salt). I am also not trying to criticize schools like this as Albany is my top choice, just throwing what I think is happening out there.

When you say Waitlist do you mean AL? or are there two different lists?
waitlist and AL are the same thing
I did. Was coming to ask the same thing
I just did too lol, is this a good sign?
It was not the financial aid email that was sent out first, it was the certiphy background check email
When did you interview?
But it also says, “ please submit any documentation listed below to the
I've gotten like 4-5 of these (interviewed in Oct and AL in like Nov). They said to just ignore any deadlines until you receive an official A
I did, on AL
I was notified I had been placed on the AL via email
Acceptance (1/12), AL (12/3), and II (10/22) for me all by email
I think they mean that it shows alternate list or not on the CYMS tool, not an actual numerical position.
They said they don't accept updates but if you're willing to take the risk go for it lol
Yeah I got the same email
🤷🏻♂️
Me too
I think AMC rejects a decent amount of people late season too so it could be worse. Let’s see if people post acceptances here or if they weren’t being honest about having open seats still. That would be pretty lame
