What exactly does being put on hold entail?

They aren't offering you an interview at this time but after reviewing your app they aren't ready to count you out and reject you. It does not necessarily mean you will not get an interview. As you can see, someone above already got off the "hold" list.

So does everyone end up getting this email? Or do some people hear nothing and then get rejected in March/April?
 
All of you that interviewed here today looked fabulous! Best of luck to you, and remember that the decision is now out of your hands, so all you have to do is relax and wait.

Does anyone know the step averages for this school? I'm curious how they prep also.

I don't remember the average, but I know that on my interview day last year they gave us a sheet with the average step score for the school, along with locations that students MATCHed. You could always give admissions a call - I can't imagine it's a heavily guarded secret.

This might help you figure out what they do for prep. There should be a list of resources that they pay for us to access to for USMLE prep as well, I'm on mobile so I'm not sure where that is at.

So I mistakenly did not click to have my MD LOR sent from AMCAS, and accidentally clicked on my non science LOR. I emailed the school a while ago and haven't heard back from them. What should I do?

Did you click to have your MD one sent once you discovered that mistake? I would recommend calling admissions to see if it went through.

Tucson will read every letter you send them, regardless of how many, if that was what you were worried about.
 
just checked my portal:

Dear tuco's revenge,

A few of us got interviews a week after getting that. If you're an AZ resident, your chances are still pretty good, and not terrible if you're not. I think they just send it out after you're in a group of files they reviewed for the next interview dates, and then they consider you again for the next round.
 
Well if that's the case then we should all have received either an ii or hold if complete 7/22 or earlier.

Anyone complete 7/22 or earlier and have heard nothing?

Meh. Not how I interpreted the reporting back. It appears they classify holds linearly although is seem to get interviews before oos. Frankly, neither of us really knows for sure though. It's all speculation. And I'm very well aware of how useless speculation is but, sometimes it helps the neuroticness lol
