Where did you hear 200 for the alternate list?

They probably got that number from the MSAR. Last year when I was stressing about being on the alternate list I saw on a previous year thread that they accept over 3 times the number of students who matriculate (most of whom would have to have been on the AL at some point). Plus they said during my interview most interviewees would be placed on the AL rather than outright accepted or rejected. If I had to guess, I’d think that number is referring to how many people remained on the alternative list at the end of the cycle. But that’s just conjecture.

Thanks for sharing!

Side question, were you ultimately accepted at AMC? And if so, how long were you on the AL?

I’m an M1 there. I was placed on the alternate list around this time last year and didn’t get off the alternate list until May.

[Nova_Nation_1618]

No As so far?

Seems like there was more A’s at this point in last year’s thread… I would hope there be some WL movement soon 🤞🏻

Do we think we will hear anything this week? Or do they usually not send anything out thanksgiving week?

 

[Nova_Nation_1618]

Based off of the 2 past previous threads, there were interview invites the week of Thanksgiving and the week after, but only 1 acceptance the week after. So I’m assuming nothing this week, but you never know!

 

[amdocahe]

[Drizzle98]

Alternate as well, interviewed mid November

Just to give y'all some hope!

When I attended the Albany info session, they said that they put a ton of people on the alternate list and a ton of people get pulled off so I think if you get put on it your odds of getting in are actually pretty high.

 

[BagChaser85]

Withdrew app. Good luck everyone!

 

[SuperSecret]

Does Albany accept update letters pre II?

 

[Jenmjfan]

I can't seem to find on previous threads when people were accepted off the alternate list, has anyone been able to figure that out? was there any movement in December/January?

 

[ComfortableCup4677]

Does Albany accept update letters pre II?
