Yep, I'm an alternate who got the same email apologizing for the error (but not the email containing the error).
Kind of a cruel way to play with my heart, CLS. I'm sure it was just a mistake though.
Hey everyone,
Really appreciated reading your thoughts throughout this process.
I was selected as an alternate for Arabic. Does anyone have any information about how alternate selection works or how likely it is to be accepted? Or is the whole thing just a crapshoot from this point on?
Thanks! And congrats to finalists!
