Alternate
I'm on the alternate list for my top grad school choice. And I'm still waiting for responses from other schools.
It makes me wonder what it is that I said that made me an alternate and not the first choice? Or what did those who were the first choice say that impressed the admissions committee? I'd like to know. To be honest I thought that the interview had gone well. I tried to convey my passion for what it is that I want to do. Were the others more passionate than I was? I thought that I was pretty passionate... did they see that? I don't know. I can only hope that my other interviews go well.
