Alternate list/spring 2008

<p>Hey guys, I just got a letter from the Univ. of Rochester telling me I pretty much got waitlisted.... but then, it also had an option on the bottom stating that I could "welcome an invitation to begin at Rochester in Spring 2008 semester".... what does that mean??? does that mean I got accepted to Spring 2008 but not Fall 2007 unless I get accepted through waitlist... or does that mean I didnt even get admitted to both. im lost. HELP!</p>

<p>it means that they are offering you a spot on the 2008 semester. It's like a deferred enrollment except longer. I got a defferred enrollment that allowed me to enter jan. 2008, so only after 1 semester, different from your sping 2008 option.</p>

<p>Isn't the Spring Semester in Jan.?</p>

<p>I know someone who got this same letter...hehe I probably got one also - or maybe even a rejection.</p>

<p>ohhh icic. Thanks for the help guys! And solsek- dont say that!! I bet u got in if not waitlisted or deferred :).... I applied 3 weeks after the deadline w/ no teacher rec. and got deferred, so imagine how much hope u have if u did everything AND turned it in on time :) dont lose hope</p>

<p>Yes, spring 2008 and Jan. 2008 are the same session.</p>

<p>Anna, where are you from and when did you get your letter? I'm from MA and kinda hoping for that letter because the alternative probably is a straight waiting list or rejection.</p>

<p>or rejection? I dont think the alternate list is a rejection.... wait what!? im so confused and paranoid now... did I misunderstand your question?</p>

<p>or rejection? I dont think the alternate list is a rejection.... wait what!? im so confused and paranoid now... did I misunderstand your statement?</p>

<p>I don't think the alternate list is a rejection. I am hoping I get one because I suspect that all the regular acceptances have already been mailed.</p>

<p>annakimwta, he said "alternative" , not "alternate"</p>

<p>I'm in SoCal and I got my spring admittance letter.</p>

<p>Yeah...nothing to worry about...you can choose to matriculate into UR in January(spring semester)...you basically go to whatever other college you want for 1 semester and transfer over to UR...I know quite a few people who did that...If you want to come to UR, def take that...</p>

<p>has anyone found out anything from rochester about their status on the waitlist?!</p>
