Weird that AL was sent prior to filling seats? Or is that typical?
Click to expand...
Idk if it’s typical or not but it was certainly unexpected given how AMC had explained it and how the previous years’ threads had portrayed the situation. Best of luck everyone. I hope we’ll get to meet one day

What does it mean if you're UC but didn't get the AL ?

This is speculation on my end, but it could be that a person isn't that high enough on the ranked WL and isn't being further considered

From last years thread; they had similar problems with resubmission being possible on the Alternate Form. It seems to be normal and many of them chose to email the adcom just incase.

I submitted the form, ur saying that we should email as well?
 
I'm worried about emailing them because they state that they don't want us to email them

I guess im kinda confused. Why would amc make a UC list and then not accept anyone off that list? Why not just start with the AL?

I believe they are expecting lots of withdrawals around April 30th, so they might as well just wait until the dust settles and start pulling then?
 
Also moved from UC to AL today! Fingers crossed for some good news soon

Does anyone know if you are chosen off of the alternate list, does AMC email or call you? I know we had to provide our numbers but that was just for the month of august for some reason?

I think they email As all other times but call in August since by then its literally right before class starts and they need an answer ASAP to fill their class

It sounds like the overwhelming majority on the UC list has been placed on the alternate list
 
Thanks bigsgr! I got my alternate list invite earlier and was a bit confused

I'm guessing the chance of getting off the UC list is probably close to 25% at this point assuming 50 people were R or not placed on AL post II... So ~125seats left/ (750 II - 50 Rs -200 A's)

After I submitted the alternate response form it said I successfully submitted it. Now when I click back into the Alternate Response tab it shows me my responses but looks like it has the option to resubmit? Just wanted to make sure others who submitted their alternate response form are seeing the same thing!

UC movement is no more, its just alternate list movement...AMC will pull starting off early May and can go well into August, so buckle in!

Yup! Exact same email. That's why I said it'd be safe to put down a deposit to the other school.
