*hugs* I really hope that you get in! Alternative isn't bad, though. A lot of people get bumped up. The first wave of bumps will come after the deadline passes to accept/deny the "short-list" letter. Believe it or not, people turn it down. The second big wave comes in...I think May?...whenever the placements go out. People turn it down left and right when they don't get a placement that they want.
I really hope that you get bumped up! *so* badly!! If for some reason you don't, I have heard that many people who are chosen as alternates and apply again the following year get short-listed. Of course, the suckers who turn down their positions (giving it to alternates such as yourself!) can't apply again.
