3rd time in state denied... not quite sure what to do from here, I have tried everything from improving grades (i meet the requirements) to doing 200 hours of research and to completing a masters... I almost wish this was a mistake but I am certain it is not.

OOS alternate as well. Anyone know how many alternates they usually have and how much movement it typically has?
I was doing some searching on last year's forum and they said that they invited about 165 OOS to interview, accepted 40 and waitlisted the rest. I know there were no interviews but it's probably safe to assume the OOS waitlist is about 100-125. OOS waitlist moves more than IS and it really depends on how many people accepted and waitlisted decline. A lot of schools cite the movement being around 30-40 spots but it varies.
 
OOS alternate here as well! Third time applying, last time I was waitlisted to interview. I'm definitely curious to hear how many other alternates there are/ what the chances are! (I applied to 10 total schools, but this has always been one of my top choices so it's a little disappointing)
 
OOS alternate. Looks like a lot of alternates, did no one get OOS rejection? Mine was also in the spam folder for anyone else wondering.

Yea I mean for me I’ve been accepted to Midwestern, but was still hoping for Vtech before I make the commitment (housing application opens tomorrow for on campus housing- with answers in March , so if I get that I’ll have to make a commitment and sign that contract without knowing my alternate #).

It’s a little discouraging we can’t ask rank until April [emoji20] especially since it seems so many are on the alternate list

I am really disappointed, I felt that I was pretty competitive and it was my IS school, and I already got rejected from Davis and heard nothing from any other school. I honestly didn't care about my rejection to Davis, because it's Davis, but this one hurts (first time applicant, I know I'll get used to it).

It's such a crap shoot, don't lose hope yet! You don't know which school will see something great in you and it only takes one yes! Keep the faith, it's not over til it's over *hugs*
 
What was the subject of the email? I don’t have anything in my inbox or spam, do you guys think I should email admissions?
