Since I seemed to have inspired the Wall of Shame, I thought I would add to the group the Wall of Lame, and contribute as well with today's being placed on "hold" by GW.

So, the Wall of Lame is for all of those "on hold", wait-lists, ranked lists, and all of those other nebulous distinctions that both give us hope, and keep us up at night, and just generally confuse.

The Wall feels your pain.

The Wall should also note my tumultuous love affair with Pitt, whose secondary I am considering writing a note in gym class that reads "Do you like me? check yes or no"
 
got the "on hold" shaft from UMich, nothing like entering that quasi-dimension of purgatory that is the on hold status, although i think i like being on hold more than i like the fact that 2 of my state schools (UCSF and UCLA) havent so much as acknowledged my existence after an email 8 weeks ago about recieving my 2ary, just reject me already... time for my application relaxation kit (a xanax and budweiser tall can) :sleep:

Oh OK. I was complete on 8/31 so my hold/rejection letter should be coming in about a week.
 
on hold:

umich: wowzer
 
On hold at U. Chicago. not cool. not cool.
 
how can you tell if you are "On Hold" at Umich? or Chicago?

Totally. Were you guys OOS too? I wanted to interview there so bad and have heard nothing but good things and my numbers are even okay (28/3.7), but alas it wasn't meant to be. :(

Haven't heard a peep from Downstate or Buffalo. Hopefully one of them bites. :)
