Interesting, thanks!! They do say that basically they will be re reviewing my application in april once they get the initial deposits, so it is not ordered. I have been a little concerned about getting my hopes up just because the letter was so nice and it seemed like alternate was better than waitlist. Maybe I was reading into it though.
Is there also a wait list? I emailed them asking but am too impatient haha.
Congrats to everyone on their acceptances and my sympathies for any rejections/deferrals/waitlists. Nothing more frustrating than getting positive reinforcement but still no definitive answer.
