Well, looks like an interview! (via e-mail)
Ditto. I was complete on 7/9 and haven't moved from the under review msg.
fairly sure it just means the 2nd interviewer has to get to you, at least thats what i inferred from the person ( i think mega) who called admissions. Its certainly not a soft rejection i know that much.
Im not 100% certain by any means, so dont quote me on it...just how it seemed from what that guy posted from the office...though i agree with youm the people with initial interviews werent on hold so really i think its more like they dont want to waste the sep-oct interview dates on us, but they dont want to outright reject us either, so we will just be getting the nov-march interviews. The waitlist movement on GWU is huge i guarantee it as so many people use this as a safety and withdrawal later. If you look at some of the people getting interviews they have multiple interviews, hell two people have a mayo interview. You know the likelyhood of these people actually staying at GWU is probably small.
eek, I wasn't put on hold for a long time since being complete, but I just checked today and now it says I'm on hold. 🙁
I was told that each application is reviewed twice before an interview is granted. But it seems some of us were never put on hold. Nevertheless, everyone on hold gets a second review before a final decision on their application is made. The whole process is nerve-wrenching....😳
Is anyone really worried about what should we be doing right now? Do we just sit here and wait for the rejections

i think at this point its just who cares...you cant do anything about it like someone above said...if this means rejection then so be it...but i highly doubt that. More likely it means we are not on a high priority list to interview. So when late interviews come around in nov-march, they might revaluate some of us and then give out interviews again. Remember the best candidates typically get early interviews and that cant be everyone. Typically these people hold multiple acceptances by june. Most of the class isnt filled off the sept and oct interviews so i think everyone should just not panic...remember that there is plenty of time and there are thousands of stories you can read on here where people get late interviews then get accepted soon after, it just may not be until march 2010 for some us.I, too, am on hold. Boston already rejected me. I don't know if my frail spirit can take two back to back rejections, 1-2 KO!
For real, though, I don't feel too good about the whole on-hold thing: if you look at last year threads, the on-hold status that a few people had was probably just a system error. So it's hard to draw any conclusions about what the on-hold thing means this year.
haha i think the fact we are in cali blue makes it worse for us...i hear of a lot mroe stories and know people personally who have stats that anywhere else in this country they would be accepted, but us....just out of luck 🙁. Each bad email or no news make me think ill be the next example of the cali kid who will neevr get into med school until he becomes a TX resident
