Summary of Experience:
II: 8/16 Update 12/18 - It\'s been over 13 weeks since I interviewed and no response (they said 6-8 weeks). The school/town is pretty old-fashioned and I can not see myself fitting in over there in any case. Never ended getting any correspondence from them.

Summary of Experience:
Update - 12/18 - No email or status change even though I interviewed in October. Pretty sure this means I\'m most likely waitlisted or rejected. We\'ll see as the waitlist has a ton of movement.

Summary of Experience:
1/18 - Received a second letter about the alternate list. I\'m hoping this is a good sign, since last year they got a lot of deferrals (and no one got off the waitlist). I suspected they were a bit more conservative this year, and the letter implicitly confirms this. It\'s nice of them to update us, but without knowing who received this letter it\'s hard to infer its exact meaning.
