Keck Alternate List
Started by Doglover4fever
wow, a lot of people (2+me =3) have them as their #1 choice...they should just fill the class with folks that would rather be there than anywhere else!

Hey, thanks Mexigirl! I don't think any of us are in direct competition because we all fill different (I think) demographics. I am a 22 yr old white female. So I can say, good luck to both you guys!!!
lol, i don't think it's as simple as that, but either way, i wish us all the best of luck; hopefully we all end up going to keck and play on the same volleyball teamDoglover4fever said:

I know, but I have been struggling for months to discover a rhym or reason to all of this madness. I hope to see both of you guys on the camping trip. Lets all say a little prayer for Keck (please call me, please call me, please call me.....). 😍
haha, don't try to look for any reason; they, like everyone else, are just trying to fill the class with cool people, and that takes time...

Let's just hope that the cool people they took outright were also accepted at many other places that they would rather go. Last year I heard about 40 got off the alternate list. The previous year it was like 20.

Anyone have any word on how big the waitlist pool as a whole is?
I will join this club....I called the admissions office the other week and they told me that there are about 100 people on the waitlist right now and that they won't start contacting people untill after May 15th.

You are SOOOOOO right!! And I am a 23 yr old mexican single mother. Good luck to everyone on the Keck alternate list. I wonder just how much movement will occur from the waitlist, and how soon will that movement start????
Did you guys write a letter of intent to the dean????
🙂 🙂

I called the office after I got my waitlist letter, and they said to only send things like LORs, grade updates, etc. They told me not to send a letter saying how much I want to go there because "we assume everyone who stays on our list wants to come." So I just sent my recent transcripts and information regarding some recent research publications I was coauthor on. I hope this helps, but I don't know...
Add me on to the list of USC-is-my-#1-choice-and-I'm-waitlisted people! Good luck guys!

Hey Guys,
For those of you who have withdrawn from USC, would you mind posting it on the Official Withdrawn From Thread? It will help to enable my neurotic what-could-my-chances-possibly-be calculations. 🙂 Thank you so much! 👍
yeah keck is the place to be, but a scholarship to HI is just too good to pass up...best of luck to ya, and to all of us trying to get inMexiGirl said:Thanks Kalenakai!!! Good luck to you in Hawaii!!!

i'm pretty sure, from reading previous threads, that Dean Quinn calls you. So if you don't have caller id - i'd sign up ASAP!!

Let the waiting begin. Oh, I'm impatient already! Anyone call USC today to find out any info about when the committee might me meeting?
apparently one person already got a call from dean quinn if you look at the waitlist thread.
to all of us waiting!

USC automatically sends out secondaries to everyone that applies. You'll get one. You should be hoping they give you an interview. 😉 Good luck!
You lucky ones that got in -
Did you do anything extra after being waitlisted? Letters, rec letters, emailing the dean, anything special? From past threads it's not entirely clear whether adding stuff helps or not...

w00p! I just got the call today! I'm officially going to USC! I'm so psyched. I was waitlisted back in mid-March. Interestingly I actually called the admissions office this morning asking if they received an additional letter of recommendation that I had sent.

Are you going to USC over UCSD? Either way,I don't see why you would be mad. If you prefer USC, you get to go to the school of your choice (most of us on this thread would kill to get the call you did), and if not, why do you care, so please withdraw so one of us can be so lucky.
Congrats to those who have been accepted to Keck off that darned alternate list! Just more proof that it ain't over 'til it's over......
Keep posting with any news----all of us still on the waitlist are keeping our fingers crossed! 🙂

Congrats to those who have gotten pulled from the waitlist!!! Would you mind sharing with us your numbers, male/female, race, and when you got waitlisted. Just trying to get a sense for who actually is getting pulled from the waitlist. Thanks......please phone ring!!!!!!
hehe....actually just noted that overeducated you have a profile...and I think i can assume that Steven is also a guy....which means everyone who has posted on SDN that they have gotten pulled from the waitlist is male

I don't know blonde hair and blue eyes that does add some diversity after all it is a dying group. 😉
Hey guys. Turned down my waitlist acceptance. Hope one of you are lucky enough who really want to go. Tried bargaining to see if they would match my other financial aid packages, no go. 240g's is just insane. Good luck to those of you who "have your heart set on USC" in Dr. Quinn's words.
Anyone else hear anything, or is the class all but filled up.

Hey! Got a call Wednesday from Dr. Quinn, finally made the decision to accept it last night! In response to the earlier post, I'm female, blond hair, blue eyes - another stereotype for the non-diverse applicant I guess, was waitlisted early February.Caligirl05 said:
