same here...they probably will send out another round of acceptances after the 15 days deposit deadline for the people who got acceptances on Feb. 15th.
 
does anyone know when they will start calling alternates? also, does anyone have any insight into what the chances are for alternates? I interviewed on september 18th
 
are you on the alternate list pupsingh? I'm guessing they will start calling alternates after the second deposit deadline, which is April 15th.
 
yes i am. Unfortunately i think someone said they only take 4 alternates. thats so discouraging. I think there are like 80 alternates 🙁
 
no what i did was, i made a new thread and in the subject line wrote " western alternate" and hit tab, and you know how it shows you relevant threads, and in one of them somebody posted some statistics but i think i may have mis analyzed them haha. but you should do that. the one that i clicked on was the one that had 39 replies. i think maybe only 4 got in refers to only 4 who post on sdn. lol
 
Did anyone hear anything from western yet? They just finished their 3rd round of acceptances, which their deposits were due yesturday (2/28). Is their class full yet? Anyone know if they are planning to add more interview dates?
 
predentdude, do you know how many spots are still open? I wonder when they will start calling people on alternate list.
 
My offer has been rescinded so that's another spot open for you guys! 🙂

Best of luck to all of you!!!!!

When you say your offer was rescinded, was it because you withdrew your acceptance or did not put the deposit?
 
when you say they are going to hand out more acceptances after the 15 day period, do those acceptances come from the previous round of interviews on applicants they havent made a decision on, or the alternate list? also, does anybody have any statistics on how full the class is at this point?
 
dental8485 it seems like you and I are the only ones that are trying to find information about the alternate list. this is frustrating. But maybe that indicates that the alternate list isnt that long? I am just wondering if there is anything we can do to find something out. I thought about contacting the school by email but I dont want to be pushy and annoying. Sigh, its just so frustrating.
 
No there are others. Lol. I have sent emails to Western but have not received a response. I would assume they would start offering spots to alternates some time soon?
 
I called admissions yesturday regarding alternate list and couldn't really get an answer from them. They wouldn't tell me anything on how long the list is and how many spots are taken as of now. I hate this waiting! I agree with you pupsingh, it is frustrating! I hope the list is not too long as well.
 
I'm giving up my spot within the next few days (waiting for my acceptance packet to arrive to send in the deposit at another school) so hopefully one of the waitlists can take the spot 🙂

good luck!
 
Awesome!! I'm hoping to get a call from them soon.

Has anyone heard anything from western recently after the 3rd round of acceptances?
 
So... did everyone who interviewed get accepted or placed on alternate status? Is there anyone who has not been placed on alternate status who was not accepted? Just a question!
 
yes i think everyone who interviewed either got accepted or alternated. It would be great to know how many alternates there really are and it would be great to know how many alternates were offered admission from last year....maybe we can go on to last years facebook group and ask how many of them were alternates? haha
 
Actually, not everyone that interviewed was accepted or waitlisted.. I know a couple people who interviewed this cycle and were rejected. I'm sure if you're on the alternate list, there will be movement. GL you guys, and hopefully see you there next year!
 
Thanks for the info ducks8!! I guess you are planning to attend western?

Yea, I also heard that some people still haven't heard anything from them yet after being interviewed. So, not everyone gets put on the alternate list.

I hope to get a call from them soon.:xf:
