“However, please note that you have not yet been fully accepted into the program of study you have applied for. At present, your application is placed on the alternate list”. I interviewed Dec so this may be sent to fall interviews? Idk anymore

I was a Nov interview, also AL but no email

Not “fully” accepted is such a bizarre way to state this hahah Sometimes I wonder if they just enjoy the mind games! I was also a Dec interview so 🤷‍♀️

Did you get this same email? Now I am even more confused lol

Did you get a AL notification on Monday?

 

[UniCrys]

I did not get that email and Im on the alternate list on Monday

 

[marthuh]

any mid February interviews hear back yet?

 

[PencilWise]

Did you get a AL notification on Monday?

Yep. I got the "decision has been made" email and it showed AL on my portal.

Did you start filling out the prematric checklist? I got AL Monday too and never got the email with the NetID

All I did was legit accept the Alternate List position and said I agree to the "Technical Standards" thing.

Yes. Alternate list. Interviewed 2/24

 

[bdizzle646]

has anyone NOT heard back from a jan interview. quaking in my boots lol

 

[SupercalifragilisticNY]

Seems like its safe to assume that downstate has a WL ranking and maybe the ones who received this email were probably ranked higher than those who didn’t. Oh wells, time to start working on reapplications again…. Maybe 3rd time works. Good luck everyone

I heard back but I also know that they do alternate list in batches so it might come in a week or two

Highly doubt it tbh. It’s probably more so the net ID and downstate email is being sent in batches as IT is setting them up.

 

[the_waiting_game]

Yes. Alternate list. Interviewed 2/24

When did you get the email?

 

[FutureDocNY]

Look back at previous years, people have said they got on alternate list way later

 

[yourgfgf]

Not to be redundant but was anyone else super thrown off by the latest email congratulating us on joining the downstate community but then clarifying that we were not yet actually accepted?? My head is spinning from that move.

 

[drtobe_]

Have there been any recent IIs?

I got AL but never received that welcome/NETID email. Can someone copy and paste the entire email so we can see it and not get excited if we do receive it lol.

Will do in a moment!

 

[knitgirl]

does anyone have any idea why only some people on the alt list were sent that email to create the login and not everyone on the list?

They are probably doing it in batches in some type of order as IT is setting them up. Don’t think it means anything

 

[med_student1120]

do we need to complete the pre-matric checklist in order to be considered to getting off the alt list?

 

[the_waiting_game]

do we need to complete the pre-matric checklist in order to be considered to getting off the alt list?

Nope just before the start of school like everyone else

 

[yourgfgf]

just withdrew from the alternate list. good luck everyone!!

 

[aspiringmed23]

withdrawing my waitlist as well, good luck y’all!!

 

[qwerty6789]

When I toured, someone in admissions said it helped you get off the AL to do pre-matric stuff, cause it makes it look like your committed to going if you get off the AL

 

[superstress]

anyone else get their netID today? I was placed on AL 3/18 and haven't received an any new emails

I don't even know what they're asking me to do on the pre-matric list, half of the instructions are contradicting itself

[0dte]

The Housing application also does not work

 

[rep_kestrel]

Interviewed on 3/6, should I send an LOI or is it too soon? Downstate is my #1 choice, so hoping to get placed on AL atleast

Any As for December interviewees?

 

[PencilWise]

Any As for December interviewees?

Don’t think even November people heard back anything yet

 

[lemedlover332]

I wonder in that case if it means an A/R. I interviewed in December but didn't get an email about AL..

 

[tibdra8]

Any As for December interviewees?

AL, interviewed mid-December

 

[the_waiting_game]

AL, interviewed mid-December

When did you get AL?

 

[the_waiting_game]

Anyone get a AL this week?

 

[rep_kestrel]

Did any spring interviewees get on AL yet, or it's just ppl from fall?

 

[UniCrys]

I interviewed end of January and received alternate. I was just speaking with admissions and they said that Alternate list offers are rolled out in batches so don't fret if you haven't received it yet. They send those out until end of april. For alternates you can start the premarticulation: submit bls certification, proof of citizenship, official transcript, health clearance. For health clearance you need a netid and those are being rolled out but also take time.

Have not heard yet, interviewed this month. Are all spring ppl auto-ALed?

Thank you for info. Did they mention if everyone is thrown on the list or are there late winter/spring interviewers who can be accepted post interview no AL?
