SCCO alternate list
Started by yuh huh
hey i just got on the alternate list and was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but did everyone on the alternate list get into the school last year?
Hi yuh huh and sunnydecember! I am also on the alternate list.
I found this thread from 2010 which answered several questions about the alternate list:

I had heard that they accepted everyone on the waitlist too from last year, I guess we will see.. Being from So Cal, I cant wait to see what tier I'm placed on when they are announced next week 
:
I am interviewing at UMSL next weekend and ICO also later.

yep.. still waiting.. been checking email like no other...
was accepted to a few other schools, but would like to know if i got into SCCO for sure before making final decision
@rzwildcats: do you know for sure they announce next week? (would keep me from checking email so much) how'd you come by that info?

Well my friend said that today (Wednesday) is the last day they will be doing interviews. He found out because he just interviewed yesterday at SCCO too. I just assumed that they would probably make tiers as soon as they were done like they said they would in the email they sent out about the alternate list. So I guess according to ptula it is the 20th then.
alright. it feels good to actually know a date.
talk to you guys in a week then! haha
gluck to all of us

im in the same boat as you guys
and last time i asked dr. munroe (last week) she said their plan is to finalize alternate list by next week but said cant give exact date when it will be finalized.
a few things i heard.. last year was first time the centralized application was used so more applicants applied to more schools than before so they probably did not know what to expect and thats why everyone on the alternate list got it. and i feel they are definitely interviewing more students this year..
and also there is facebook group page for SCCO class of 2015 and currently they have 106 members and i tried to join but dr.munroe is in charge and she told me only "accepted students can join"..so i assume there are 106 students who got in now..but hopefully some will change their minds as more deposits are due

im in the 3rd quartile 🙁
haven't heard anything yet, did you ask them or did they contact you?
I e-mailed Dr. Munroe and asked her about it. I don't think I'll be getting in...so NECO it is! Anyone else going to NECO? 🙂
yah my friend emailed her and got 1st quartile, i'm gonna email her now and find out hopefully by tomorrow.
did you get 4th quartile if you don't mind me asking?

1st quartile! So excited!
requiem3 -You never know, last year EVERYONE was taken off the alternate list and given a seat... granted this year they have 90 students on the alternate list as opposed to 68 students last year. I won't lie and say that you have a good chance, but there is some chance and hopefully it will work out. Good luck to you!
I just emailed Betty and Dr. Munroe about giving up my seat. Hope this helps some of you!
I just heard back today and I officially have been accepted into SCCO!
anyone from third quartile get accepted?
They are still on first quartile, my friend on first quartile still hasn't heard back yet

i know someone that was accepted from second quartile O.O
Did anyone else from the waitlist hear back? Being in the third quartile sucks 
bump*
updates anyone? :]
updates anyone? :]
Has anyone from the 3rd quartile heard back yet?
I emailed Dr. Munroe after May 15th and she said they were pulling from the second quartile =/
I'm in the 2nd quartile and haven't heard back yet
what is going on? I emailed her recently and she said they're still on the 1st quartile.....
WHATTT loll how recently? they are def in 2nd quartile.
i just got the email yesterday 🙁. Why would she lie to me. One of my friends was accepted and said only 14 people have joined the facebook group and with 90 people on the waiting list I would assume the 1st quartile is made up of around 23 people.
What is everyone's back-up school in case you don't get off the wait list?

It was confirmed today, they're on the 2nd quartile...hope is not completely lost!
This is really weird because my friend that is in the 1st quartile who hasn't heard back also emailed Dr. Munroe a couple days ago and she also said that they are still in the 1st quartile and that the list is moving slower than usual. I can also say that from being added to the official facebook group back at the beginning of May that, since April 20th, only about 15-16 people have been added and no one that will be a first year has been added since 12 days ago. Obviously wish this wasn't the case, but just telling you what I know and see..best of luck to everyone

She told me that they were well into the 2nd quartile. I don't really understand the process. Since the deadline for the matriculation fee has passed, shouldn't they just know how many spots are open and just fill them up? Or is there really just a slow progression of ppl that decide to not go...? How did the entire waitlist get admitted last year? lol Or do they just take a long time to decide who they want to accept from the waitlist? Oh well. Still being hopeful 😀

AhHh! Hearing these contradictory things is somewhat frustrating :/.
But from what I've heard, SCCO gives a 2 week grace period for recent acceptees to decide if they want to take the open seat. My guess is that's what's keeping the process from progressing faster (especially since most people have probably paid deposits to other schools at this point.. so the decision to accept/decline might be more difficult).
Anddd I'm pretty sure more people applied this year, which is why they interviewed later into the cycle and didn't start accepting waitlisted students till May rather than April :/.
From the Alternate List FAQ, I was under the impression that we were ranked by score, and according to that score it determined the order we would be accepted? But some of these comments are making me kinda uneasy about what I thought was going on haha.
Just my two cents... but let's keep hoping for that good news 🙂!

Hmm.. Do you know if your friend told Dr. Munroe that SCCO was her first choice school? I think that also determines who they pull of the list :/. Not sure if that's the reason why...
Yeah he told me he did a while ago.. I really do hope they are moving along the list but yeah just really weird how people have been told so much contradictory information about this and if it is true they are in the 2nd quartile, I am not sure why my friend has yet to be notified and even after emailing Dr. Munroe was told they are still in the 1st quartile 😕 Its equally stressful because since he is in the 1st quartile I essentially penciled him in as my roommate for next year, so the more days pass by the more I am not sure what to make of it.
yea im pretty surprised that they're telling people different things.
Yea, I got one email saying they were well into the second quartile and then another one saying they were at the top of it.
any updates?
Did anyone on the third quartile end up getting in? :/
