I just realized that the supplemental list only contains new cities. Not sure what to make of that. What do you all think?

Agreed - especially because I have such a small gal and only had 1 city on the second cert.

I noticed the same thing, my supplemental does not include the two earlier cities I had listed on the GAL I returned. No one has reported being hired for these cities as of yet. I asked ODAR about this in a reply email and will let folks know what I learn.

I asked ODAR about this in a reply email and will let folks know what I learn. I don't have much to report from my follow-up with ODAR. The advice I received was to rank the new cities as if they are the only ones I am being considered for at the moment. My best guess (and I don't like to speculate often) is that if we are being considered for a city that we confirmed our interest in response to a previous GAL and was not included in a supplemental, we will then receive another GAL.

WATT, your conclusion seems reasonable regarding being considered now for only those cities, based on the fact that they don't ask for an all-inclusive re-rank. It wouldn't make sense for them to have to separate rankings for your cities, IMHO. However, it isn't total nonsense they would, either. Since the preferences are in no way binding, they could look at, say, your "two number one cities" and simply decide where they want you. So you may still be in contention for the previous cities. Just MHO.
I lost track of Supplemental Saturday--are we sure that those candidates were asked to re-rank ALL cities, even previously ranked ones? I just don't remember. Even if so, it is possible that the process has changed since then and they no longer want to incur the delay and extra clerical work on their end that all-inclusive re-rank must cause.

Just received supplemental for Charlottesville, Philly and Manchester. Excited. Any other new cities out there? Received an email this morning listing 7 cities: Manchester NH, Charlottesville VA, Phila PA, Indianapolis IN, Milwaukee WI, Oak Park MI, and Fresno CA. Response is due on Jan 21. Thanks to everyone for sharing their info.

If we are no longer in contention for the prior cities, then why call it supplemental? That's what makes me think the prior cities are still in play for us regardless of the inability to re-rank.

Charlottesville, aye! Just came across an hour ago. Good luck to all!
Bob, I know you're listening. I could grab a quick lunch and start in Charlottesville at 1300 today. Sound good?

I think that all cities are theoretically still in play. I think that the rankings are too much trouble with the fluidity of the new process and the speed they now have to operate at. It makes no sense you would be 3 struck from Newark but ok for Fresno.
I also am convinced the emails are trickling out so keep checking in boxes and spam folders.

I think that 2014 was the year for a certain FunkyODAR. I think 2015 will be the year of Team G&G.

The e-mail says "additional locations since you were last contacted". I think this means additional locations. As in, in addition to and not a whole new list. I do remember having to re-rank before but that probably was a total pita to figure out. And we didn't get a rejection for the other cities yet, did we?

I agree with you on what the quoted phrase most likely means. Not having received one of the new emails I was unaware of its wording until your post.

That is correct Zep. I suspect they just haven't had time to fix the spreadsheet. I appreciate that they made the effort though.
