hi, I was interviewed in Sept. and was placed on the alternate list as well. Sometime in the spring, they will go over ALL of the alternate list. There is no rank on the list (to the best of my knowledge). THey will reevaluate each applicant. It would be a good idea to update your file as much as you can (ie:more volunteer work, classes, etc...) I'm sure you know this already but I'm just trying to help. Good luck!
