This is it, the supposed week that UCSF makes it decision on everyone they have interviewed. Has anyone heard anything yet?

New SDN Article: Medical Students, Are You on Twitter? It’s Not Too Late.
I got a letter from UCSF last Thursday (march 11th) that notified me that I was an alternate. Not what I was hoping for...but, I guess there may still be a small chance of getting in? Does anyone know if they would tell us how we rank or what number we are on the alternate list?
I also got a letter on the 13th saying that I was an alternate. I called Carmen to try to find out what my rank was on the waitlist, but they said that their board decided that they won't disclose that info this year. 
So I guess we just have to sit tight and wait. 
So I guess we just have to sit tight and wait. I talked to Carmen a while back in February. She said they would be done interviewing at the end of February and that all letters would be mailed out during the first week of March.
After my little chat with her, I received an acceptance letter two days later. My friend just got his waitlist letter about 3 days ago, so I think the mail is arriving as we speak.
They're pretty hush-hush about their waitlist this year because Carmen wouldn't tell my friend his rank on the waitlist either... =/

I called today, they said that my status was not determined yet, and he said something about early April was their target to get everything sorted out.
So I guess this week was not the week. Just wanted to let everyone know that there will be a couple more weeks of waiting.
