I'm also an alternative at the UofM, and it is such a relief to know there is a chance alternates will be contacted after the deadline date! I have not received a second round acceptance or heard of anyone else getting them at the UofM. I had talked to the grad coordinator and she was not able to provide any information like that or where I even rank on this list. So stressful! Best of luck to all the alternates out there though! Does anyone know if alternate status can at least be cited on a CV? Or would that just look silly haha.
