someone on the older years threads said that AL is a soft rejection, but others in person have said AL>WL in terms of priority so I genuinely cannot tell you what is true. I wish I knew myself 🥲

Spoke to current students, it’s the same thing.

woah really? I remember in a zoom meeting Suzanne said they treat it the same so does that mean WL>AL or is it the other way around?

From what I’ve been told, it’s the same thing, just different wording. So alternative = waitlist

I got an email just now saying that Elmira is very interested in my app and asking if I’m still interested in being on the alternate list and filled out a google form, so I did. I did not attend on campus day as I am a few states away and work full time. Do you think attending the on campus day will impact whether or not I get an A? I know it’s better to go than not go but I just want to know if it’ll impact me in a big way.

The email also said they are starting to see movement in their incoming class, just in case some of you were wondering!

i went to the on campus day because I was hoping it would increase my chances. Also because it is one of the few questions on the survey I would say it holds value! Ive heard students say the committee loves to see prospective students visit because it shows interest. If you do plan on going make sure to prepare for the small group interview questions. They take notes of your answers. Try to stand out! I just got the email too. Heres to hoping we both get in!!
