what does this status mean?
what does this status mean?
It just means that they're in the process of reviewing your application. No decision has been made yet (not a hold).
Has the consensus been the hold status is not a good thing? or has it still been a precursor to an interview?

I've been on hold since the first week of July, for what it's worth.
New on this thread. I never post but love to read!!! Just checked my status, this is what it said. Any idea if this is a good or bad status?

I was complete on July 12th.
I'm not to sure when I was complete, but I submitted on 7/10. I haven't had my status change though.
For everyone on hold, I grabbed this off their fb page
excuse me if this is a stupid question, but are these all of the prompts? it seems like some numbers are missing (ie it goes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Yes. The ones left out are simple questions like "will you have completed the prerequisites prior to matriculating?"
oh thanks
Just visited D.C.! It feels so real, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I wish I could fast forward and just get that ii
Yes. They should have sent it to you before your app was even verified.
so have people either been put on hold or received an II? no rejections?

+1
I submitted on 7/12 and haven't had a status change. I expect I'll get a status change (crossing my fingers for no hold) this week. That's just a guess though
Submitted 7/17 but all letters finished 7/27. Haven't heard from them either. No news is better than bad news haha!
What is a recruitment email
It's for those who elected to release their MCAT scores after their exam. Med schools send it out to high scorers and/or URMs.
I got that same email and was so excited for the second it took to open it and then I realized it wasn't an II. I sent an update today though so I'm hoping that might improve my chances.
Same here
My file hasn't even been reviewed yet and it's been like three weeks.
I have a feeling you'll hear something this week then. It seems like they're looking through applications from about 3 weeks ago
