Anyone know what the chances are of getting into a school after being put on the alternate list. Currently DCOM and LECOM wait-listed me. Also if anyone knows if you are ranked on these lists that would be helpful as well.

I think that it is totally based on how many students, within the time period given to pay the down-payment, decide to accept offers or turn them down. You can call the admissions office and ask them. I would imagine they can be more clear on this. Good luck....

When did you interview at LECOM?
 
I got alternate listed at DCOM aswell. So, I guess we just wait and see what happens. I have heard that they are waitlisting many applicants at DCOM.
