I wonder if the batches are related to their alt list rank?
Good question...although I think it may be more likely it's related to interview date. I interviewed early on, so that would make sense why I got this early as well. Perhaps they add people in batches after they've been interviewed?

I actually had one of the final few interview dates and I got my email early on as well.

My interview was early December and I received the form and financial aid email. I also checked in about the format of the aid email being different and said to wait for my admissions decision before doing anything.

My interview was early February and I got the financial aid email too.
 
Interviewed late-October, didn't receive any financial aid emails but I already received the alternate form as well.

Really feels like who and when they're sending forms/financial aid information is really random, so I don't think thank waitlist rank has anything to do with it. I'm thinking they might be sending the form in batches so everyone doesn't rush to submit it and take their site down haha

What are we thinking for the rest of the week, my fellow AL friends? Has there been another batch of alternate response forms? The deadline for the first batch was today.

Anyone email the office about the new financial aid email? I’m on the AL so I’m not sure if I should do anything about it.

For those who got accepted recently, did you ever receive financial aid emails?

Trying to figure out if there’s any rhyme or reason as to why or when they’re sending those out.

Sorry to be so neurotic but did you get it around the same time a couple hours ago that the other people did or did you get it a little later? Just wondering if they’re being sent out over a period of time or all at once

I did not, I think you only get those emails if you submitted FASFA there, which I didn’t.

Alright so last year initial As were sent May 6th and then another A was reported four days later on May 10th. Then, May 20th a ton of people were rejected from the AL and again on May 26th. One person was accepted on June 11th. I'm not sure how much hope there is for those of us not accepted today. Ok I need to go to work now and then work on my DO apps for next year lol

I submitted my AL form last week and was able to see it saved on my portal. i just checked today though and its giving me a message saying "sorry, the deadline has passed." I emailed and left a VM to admissions asking about this. did anyone else who was sent the AL email (and not given the A this morning) see this?

I see the same thing, I was worried too and was going to send an email. Seems like its normal.

My situation is similar to yours. I called them today and they confirmed that it went through.

It would be so much easier if they just rejected me now so I can start prepping for next year without that glimmer of hope

Do you remember approximately what time/number you called them at?

I called them a couple days back as well, but was left on voicemail and nobody got back to me. Was thinking I might've caught them at a time when nobody was in office, or maybe they don't check their voicemails?

I called them at 9:30 PST. The number I called was 518-262-5521.
