University of the Pacific Update

I received a call this morning from the University of the Pacific informing me that I have been placed on their alternate list. Though this should be rather depressing news to most, it's not a really big revelation for me. I had gone to the University of the Pacific interview knowing that I was vying for a spot on the alternate list. Though it was a little bit of a shock to me that despite my less than stellar interview there, they selected me for a spot on the alternate list. Does everyone who interview automatically get placed on the alternate list?
