Gotcha! Thanks!You'll get your number on the list on the 3rd updated on your status page but because it is all entered in manually they don't want to update it after that for every student. Like if they call 15 people off of the waitlist on April 16th you won't see your number on the page go from 50 to 35. Sorry if I phrased it in a confusing way

Thank you so much!! You’re very helpful and giving me hope!!
I know! One more week.
The Recruiting Coordinator made it seem like being on the alternate list was a good place to be and hinted that most of us would get good news because they went through roughly 300 alternates last year. It's also good to note that all students are lumped together on the alternate list. Whether your OOS, IS, or from one of the state's they have contracts with we are all on the same list.
Yeeeee
*goes to check email*Who else had a heart attack from that email ?
Honestly I’d wait and see what rank you are on April 3rd and then make the decision then whether it’s worth the risk (assuming you also get into Lmu). If you get into Lmu and are high ranking on the isu list, are you willing to take that risk?I’m trying to make this sound like it makes sense, so bear with me.
I’m waiting to hear back from LMU as well, who have a $1250 deposit (ugh).
What number do you think I could say would be high enough to guarantee me a seat at Iowa? Like if I was 100 should I even put my deposit in at LMU (if I get in). I would much rather go to Iowa but would still go to LMU if I didn’t get into Iowa. Friendly advice appreciated
Oh my god yes. Even though I told myself, I bet it's just a reminder email, my hands got all tingly. I immediately came here to see if anyone else also almost had a heart attack.Who else had a heart attack from that email ?
This was me as soon as I got off work
knew it wasn’t anything super important but I had tingly finger sDid they say if they were going to email us to let us know theres been an update on our portal? Or is there a certain time frame that we should expect the number to be posted?You'll get your number on the list on the 3rd updated on your status page but because it is all entered in manually they don't want to update it after that for every student.

The message from today (that generated the heart attack email) said the afternoon of April 3rd. I would assume that they’d send a message out to generate an email telling us to check, but I don’t know for sure
I didn't ask if we would get an update email when the rank is posted but I would assume we would get one.
From my understanding, they give your application an overall score and based off of that is where you go on the waitlist. I don't think they take OOS, IS or contract into consideration when making the waitlist.
I feel like it’s more of a disadvantage to IS students than OOS students.....
So excited I’ll be flying in from Rhode Island!!Anyone else excited about the Open House next week??
So disappointed in my number- 263
From my understanding they broke into the interview waitlist last year. So because they didn't hold interviews this year all of the people who would have ended up on the interview waitlist got lumped in with those who would have been alternates.
Go to your online portal, it's just underneath the part that says your application status next to the text that says "Alternate Rank:"
Hopefully that isn’t the case. There’s still some chance!
Yes I was planning on doing it every Wednesday starting next week
Thanks!
That’s amazing!!
thank you arizona i cant believe it i started crying I have been rejected from 8 schools and waitlisted on another. I still dont know what to thinkThat’s amazing!!
