I couldn't say for sure, but I ave noticed that the interview groups have been getting smaller. I don't think that CCOM accepts people for the alternate list specifically. I think that you have an equal chance of being accepted, but it is a rolling admissions process and they hypothetically could fill the class the day before your interview. I do know that they had to dip into the alternate list to fill the class of 2003. Even with taking alternates the class of '03 had the highest GPAs and MCATs of any previous class.
