alternate, thanks for asking 🙂
good luck to you! try not to stress too much and nearly tear the letter along with the envelope when opening it
Nice, better than a rejection!
Yup, Nor-Cal, East Bay.
Ditto.
Here's hoping Texas gets some mail moving soon!! (I love how I am anxiously awaiting the mail, even though it could very well be a rejection.🙁)

Oh my! I had heart palpitations clicking on this thread this evening! I was so sure there would be letters and good news pouring out of mailboxes today! 
for tomorrow and good news!
P.S. Congrats JSpitz! I am getting very close to declining my position at K-state so hopefully there will be some movement of the waitlist this year!

I'm sitting at work reading all of your messages - absolutely DYING to jump in my car and go check the mail! I'm in NorCal though so I might be in the same boat as others...dang. I knew I should have moved to San Diego when I had the chance. 🙄
thanks for the warm wishes everyone! i think the lack of snow in my region of the US (and general path of mail distribution) might have something to do with it haha
i'm waiting for iowa to give me their verdict in next couple of weeks, which would be through e-mail. i honestly prefer e-mail even if its a rejection. good luck to everyone 🙂

Congratulations on your good news!!
Ahh!! This makes me so nervous. I'm interviewing somewhere else this weekend and won't be home to check my mail until late Saturday/early Sunday morning. Aaaahhhh!!!!
AWESOME!!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations KodaBear!!!!!😀
Thanks guys! I have my fingers crossed for everyone else. That sucks about the snow delaying the mail. Murphy's law..
Congrats, Kodabear!! 😍
Mail reached Texas today....I made the alternate list.
I know it's better than a rejection, but I remember they told us that they over-accept to begin with, so I'm really not sure how hopeful I should be about the alternate list moving 😳.......
Good luck everyone!

Alternate!!!!!
Does anyone know how to tell where on the alternate list you are? Mizzou told me exactly what number I was last year- can I call KSU and find out?

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo crap crap boo hiss. Bad Kansas.
You still have Davis, right?
Bah, so disappointing. 🙁

Texas A&M told us our number last year as well, and I was also hoping K-state would do the same. I'm not sure how K-state does things, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and ask...
I'm sorry, heylodeb. Who else are you waiting to hear from??
ditto
I interviewed Jan.9
Jan 8th
Late December
Also, does anyone know how many alternate and acceptance letters they sent out? Trying to get a sense of the statistics.
Really sorry, Squibs. Bad Kansas.
*hugs* So sorry Squibby.
My father assures me he is sitting in a chair in our garage, stalking the mail man. I am at work until 3am, but still hoping I get some news today.

RaiderTXgirl, where do you live? Nothing from Kansas here in Austin, and I'm starting to get paranoid!
I am interviewing at WSU next week and am still waiting to hear from Davis. There's still some hope! (but that's not stopping me from moping around quite a bit....)
*sigh* fight with the hubby, bad day at work, rejected from Kansas. I'm going to bed.
Congratulations to those who got in - it seemed like a really great school with some cool programs!!
urgghh...sucks. way too much.
Sorry heylodeb and squibby!! I can remember how much it stung to get rejected after my interview at WSU last year, it sucks. 🙁
Congrats to all the acceptances and waitlists!! 😀
I still have not received any news on my status. I was in CA for my western interview today and kept seeing the updates here about Kansas. So, when I got home at 9:30 tonight I was really hoping there would be a letter, but nothing. Guess I will just have to wait until Monday, hope it comes then.

OH MAN!
heylodeb and squibby I thought for sure you guys would get an acceptance letter. 👎KSU
I'm in Houston, but I would be willing to bet this crazy weather down here has slowed down the postal service. I bet you'll hear by Monday!
Thanks, vetme!
Yeah, I think it sucks more than not getting an interview at all. How was Western?
Thanks guys for the condolences. I'm jealous of those who got in, it seemed like an awesome place to be.
Good luck to those of you waiting!
Thanks for the info RaiderTXgirl! Congratulations to all the acceptances and waitlists! And to everyone who was turned down: Kansas is missing out!
Hijacking thread for a post: It was ok. I think I did better in my interview last year than this year and I never got off the waitlist last year. But, this process is so random I guess you never really know how you did. I also thought Western had things much more organized and everything looked much nicer last year than this year. I was much more impressed by the school last year; this year I was kind of disappointed. I will know how I did for sure around March 15th.
End of thread hijack, back to your regular thread programming....
North Carolina got their letters yesterday. I was accepted! I'm going to vet school! AAHHHHH!!!!
Sorry, I'm just really excited 😀
Sorry, I'm just really excited 😀
CONGRATS, hunterjumper!!!
I am still anxiously waiting for mine. I can't wait until tomorrow around 3PM.
Congratulations!!!!!!
Well, this isn't quite what I was hoping to see in this thread🙁. But nonetheless, super huge congrats to all who got good letters or at least not bad letters! So sorry for those who should have gotten the good letter too. This process is just nuts, as best as I can tell.
I'm just thankful that I was lucky enough to get a good letter a few weeks ago, because I borderline freaked out anyway when I got a small envelope from K-state this week... it was just the tax document for the class I took through them last year. When I saw that little envelope in my mailbox my heart skipped a few beats thinking that it was the real letter and the other one was a mistake!
And as I said a few posts ago, I've all but decided to decline my offer there, so I really hope some waitlisters get good news this year (versus last year! Surely they can't have overaccepted as much this year, right?).

🙁 rejections suck. I am sorry to hear that.
on the topic on alternates (I know, its all about me me me), I thought it would be funny if the adcoms actually tag applicants as "the pragmatic one", "the inquisitive one", "the equine gal", "the quirky nature lover", etc. the reason why I think they might do this is because the admins mention that they are trying to "build" a class, which means that they most likely compose the class not only based on qualifications, but also based on various factors (personality, background, interest). hence...for those schools that don't rank their waitlist, they might actually go "darn, we lost that quirky nature lover! let's go through the list and find another one of those!"

I am so sorry to everyone who did not hear good news. I know how crushed I was last year after I interviewed and did not get in. On a happier note for me, though, I was accepted this year. I hope everyone else hears good news from at least one school.
Yay! I was hoping you would show up soon and let us know. Congratulations!
