Was this continued letter sent after your interview? If so, would you mind sharing when (approximately) you had yours?
Yes it was after my interview. I interviewed on 9/12, just got the letter today.
After a little research, I found this info on the pritzker podcast website about being "continued":
"So, what continued means is that we did not give you an outright admission at this point, but every time the committee meets, they will be reevaluating your candidacy in light of the other applications that they are evaluating during that meeting. So basically, if you are continued, what we encourage you to do is to be in touch with David and I. Again, if you come from a school in the Northeast or the South, you would be in touch with me, and if you come from a school in the Midwest or the West, you would go to David, and we can tell you if there were any questions that the Admissions Committee might have that you could clear up for us. As you heard in the episode with Dr. Waggoner when we talked about interviewing and he was talking about how you meet three different people: Maybe two of your interviewers loved you, one of your interviewers not so much, and we need to figure out whats going on there. Maybe it is that we really enjoyed talking to you but we werent quite sure how much you were enjoying being at Pritzker. So what we encourage you to do if youre continued is to be in touch with us and we can tell you what questions the Committee had. Then hopefully, youll be able to typically write a response to us to tell us an answer to that question. Sometimes, like I said, it is simply that you were in an interview cycle with a lot of other really competitive candidates and we could only take a certain number from that Admissions Committee meeting, and in the next meeting, youll be evaluated again, but there werent any questions that we really had about you. It was more a situation of pacing.
Then, not until May 15th, which is the date that all of the students who are accepted to medical schools across the country need to decide which medical school theyre going to, do we have a firm understanding of who will be coming to Pritzker and at that point we begin to create a waitlist. So those students who are still continued as of May 15th will be offered an opportunity to be placed on the waitlist for future consideration should we have a shift in our class.
"
I hope this helps others who have also been continued. Pritzker is def among my top 3-4 choices, so I think an update letter from me is due sometime in the next few weeks!
