Ah complete mid August and no hold/no rejection yet. Hello RFU, I will accept any last minute interview spots left
Anyone have some idea about Waitlist movement at RFU?

Currently 43, but at least 10 to 15 of them are staff or current students.How many people are in it?

Complete July. II 2/28. Waitlisted today.
EDIT: Startclass says they give around 630 Interviews from which 192 will be accepted. So for those who are waitlisted like me, we have some pretty good odds. ~1/3 of us will be accepted. Fingers crossed for everybody!
+1. Interviewed 3/9, waitlisted today.Waitlisted just now. Interviewed early early March.
According to MSAR, they interviewed 928 last year for a class of 192. 189 matriculated. Every school will accept many more candidates than that, though, because many will decide to matriculate elsewhere. I’m guessing they’re going to have a lot of waitlist movement this year.

Does anyone know what a post interview hold means?I emailed them last week about how long I should wait after being put on post-interview hold in January and they said to wait a few more weeks...
Do you think we would have been rejected by now if we didnt make it past the CASPer screen? IDK if people have reported pre II rejections or not but Ive been in silence and was rejected pre II form every other CASPer school.So, since everybody is flipping out, I asked someone in Admissions today what's happening...
There are 162 confirmed acceptances so far and 200 on the waiting list for a class of 188. They are waiting to hear from a couple of the feeder programs to fill out the rest of the numbers (those spots have to be held for those students per agreements) and also expect there to be a significant amount of WL movement after April 30th.
They also said that they have most definitely been communicating with applicants, so if you think you haven't heard back, then you need to check all your email folders (spam, promotions, etc.) If you're on the WL, then you definitely got an email.
Also, RFU g0t 12,600 apps this year and interviewed/will interview nearly 1000 folks. Each of those apps has to get screened (first by CASPR, then by academic metrics), then the ones that pass the minimum bars for those get reviewed holistically (read for an hour by an adcom) before it goes to the committee for decision to interview or not. After interview, there is another committee meeting to review apps again before the decision.
All of that takes time. Lots of time. And you want them to take that time, because if they only took 5 min with your app and got back to everybody faster, you'd stand much less of a chance of actually getting in.
On a personal note, probably a quarter of my classmates this year got their acceptances in May or June last year, so there really is plenty of hope on the wait list.
So, if you've interviewed and are on the wait list, hang in there.
If you interviewed and don't know if you're on the wait list, search your email.
And if you haven't been invited to interview, well... hopefully you have other options/ a plan B.

Thank you so much for inquiring for us. This is the information we all were looking for and would loved to have received it from the Admissions office directly.

There are a quite few of us who have contacted admissions and have been told we are still under review despite interviewing in November, I think this is where the flipping out is stemming fromSo, since everybody is flipping out, I asked someone in Admissions today what's happening...

So they have given out 162 acceptances? Or they have 162 people who accepted the offer of admission and are currently slated to attend next year?
Waitlisted. Interviewed on 12/6.
No hold. Just silence! And thanks! Good luck!!Were you put on post-interview hold before being waitlisted?
There's still hope for an acceptance!

I believe a school can choose to not to send information requested by US news. If this happens they will not have a rank. That's not to say RFU would rank highly since if your school doesn't reach a certain rank, I don't think US news publishes the rankSorry if this was already discussed in this thread, but why is it that this school is "unranked" on US news? I'm not sure how to interpret that, because this school actually has pretty impressive match lists.
If you didn't make the CASPER screen at those other schools, then you can probably assume you didn't make it at this one either and adjust your future plans accordingly. Probably time for some self reflection.Do you think we would have been rejected by now if we didnt make it past the CASPer screen? IDK if people have reported pre II rejections or not but Ive been in silence and was rejected pre II form every other CASPer school.
Yes, of course it does.Do you know if the pre-interview screening involves making sure the applicant meets the pre-req courses?
The admissions office is busy reading the thousands of applications that they recieve and, per nationwide protocol, isn't required to disclose this information to you. Them's the breaks.Thank you so much for inquiring for us. This is the information we all were looking for and would loved to have received it from the Admissions office directly. Nonetheless, I am very appreciative, thank you!!
Any ideas of where post-interview hold puts an applicant? Should those of us in this group anticipate hearing before April 30th or are we essentially wait listed applicants? Questions for anyone who wants to weigh in.
They don't have to. Many schools don't.Thanks for this nice writeup. Any thoughts on why they haven't cut the pre-II applicants loose yet?
Having gone through 2 cycles myself, I understand the emotional rollercoaster and I sympathize. However, you did get an interview, which means you met all the minimum criteria. Since you didn't get rejected straight out after your interview, then you probably did okay with that too. Beyond that, it comes down to a limited number of seats and an overwhelming plethora of qualified, interesting applicants. Not all can be given a spot. It's not over for you here yet, but since you already have another acceptance in hand, you'll be fine either way.There are a quite few of us who have contacted admissions and have been told we are still under review despite interviewing in November, I think this is where the flipping out is stemming from
Acceptances have been going out all along from all the interview dates. The SDN cohort just happened to not recieve any of them.There essentially has only been two weeks of acceptances, the soonest they could go out was 10/15 and they stopped going out 10/27. Sounds like RFU changed its mind halfway through the cycle and now only wants to accept people at the end.
If you didn't make the CASPER screen at those other schools, then you can probably assume you didn't make it at this one either and adjust your future plans accordingly. Probably time for some self reflection.
I see. Yeah, I hear you on that - not getting any feedback about CASPer is frustrating and doesn't do anything to help the anxiety of the whole process.Well Im not sure if I did or not. Just no IIs from them but schools can't release CASPer info apparently so they outdent say if I didnt make the cutoff or if I did and they just didnt think the rest of my app was competitive. Kinda wish they would give you a score after the test.

My understanding is that a hold (at any stage) means they haven't made a decision yet and want to continue to evaluate you against more applicants. With a post-interview hold, you could be on the fence between rejection and wait-list, or wait-list and acceptance. Hoping it turns into good news for you!I am so confused by this hold, it makes zero sense
