Excellent - congrats! (up)8-)

P.S. So what did you do with the other two applicants? ;-)

They just seem to have disappeared *insert evil laugh here* ;-)

Hi there! It seems to me that most candidates that are labelled 'Reserve Candidates' experience tremendous stress and depression. And I am currently one of those people. I would kindly like to know few things: What happens if no one declines their offer? Secondly,what happens if you really qualify to study your proposed course (i.e., accepted by college) but you are a reserve? The suspense is really killing me..........I can't perform at work and everywhere?

If noone declines their offer, you get nothing. If you really qualify to study, but you are a reserve, you get nothing. Sorry about that. You might get lucky and someone will drop out, but I would advise you to keep looking for other positions.

Thank you very much for this information! I will sleep on it tonight. I just have to make peace with it!
