Is this the hold email? "This is a courtesy notification to make you aware that your file has gone through an initial review by our Admissions Committee and although we believe your credentials demonstrate strong academic potential it is still under continued consideration."

Is this basically a hold email? Just got it.

Same email I just received. Complete 11/7/17.
 
Just notified via email that my application was put on Hold pre-interview. Complete 9/11
+1 Complete Oct 30 (Late CASPER...)
Question: does anyone think it would be beneficial to update them on this past semester's grades? I was not able to add my current Post-Bacc Masters to my primary application so therefore no way to send an updates transcript. (without sending them an email i suppose)
 
Yikes scared to check my email now. How are pre-II hold emails regarded at RFU? Is it basically a polite rejection or it is a real hold

I believe it’s a real hold, almost positive this school isn’t shy about pre-interview rejections
 
I received the completion email on 9/11. I did not receive the email telling my I am on hold. I don't know if thats a good thing or bad thing.

I got this email too
 
I was complete on 8/3, and secondary submitted mid July but NO HOLD! Applicants in previous years did not get any on hold email. Are they possibly behind in reviewing apps?? Idk if thats a good thing or a bad thing either.
 
Also was placed on a pre-II hold today, complete 9/15.... Don't know how to feel about it

I'm going to try and take it as a good sign. I haven't received a ton of good news this cycle.
 
How do you know that? Just wondering because I don't think I've seen pre-II rejections posted on this thread 😳

Not sure about whats been posted in this thread, but I know plenty of people who got rejected from this school who never received a "hold" email.
 
Complete September 15th and IS, no hold email...

Interviewed here last year. Complete 9/11 this year, but haven't heard anything yet. So is it a good or bad thing to not receive the hold email?

Same complete date and no hold email.

Thats a very good point, I don't remember CMS ever sending out "hold" emails before. I'm assuming this is a new thing for them but I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. I think its a genuine hold because I know that people have already been rejected this year who were not put on hold, but I definitely think this is a new thing for them.
 
Complete email received 8/18 but no hold :|
Was considering sending an update in the morning...but I feel like this may be either an impending rejection or interview invitation. Either way it may mean no need to send the update.
What do you guys think?
 
Hold today.
Will have to go back home to double check the complete date.

But yeah, still hoping for an interview invite.

Also emailed the school about EC updates and was told that they would only take grades, and other updates. (just in case anyone was wondering)

So EC updates is a no? Gotcha.
What qualifies as "other updates" other than grades? Thanks.

Institutional Action, Felony, Misdemeanor or Military Discharge explanations.

And they have to be made through AMCAS.
