I am tempted to do this for the 5 schools that have ghosted me since July secondary submissions and the 4 schools that have me on hold pre-II

Fortune favors the bold. Friends favor those who share.

I was complete in early August and have not heard anything from admissions (no pre-II hold). I called admissions a couple days ago who told me that interview invites are going out until the second or third week of March, and interviews will go on until the end of March. Hope this is helpful for some of you!

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm IS.

I was complete early October and emailed the office on Wednesday morning. They got back to me pretty quickly saying about the same thing and that my application is in a “screen ready pattern” and that it hasn’t even been reviewed but he committed yet. They ended their email with “please let us know what else we can do to help...” and I wanted to respond to that with a curt “you can help by giving me an interview” but I figured that would be a bad idea.

Your guess is as good as mine..

I interviewed in mid September and was put on committee hold in November. Does anyone have any idea when a decision would be made or what a likely outcome of this situation is? I'm not even sure if this is a waitlist. Thank you in advance

 

[Rose.1428]

For those who have interviewed, did admissions have a place to hold your luggage?

In the admissions office (along with your jacket--which you can hang up)

Is this a post interview invite hold? What is this emailed to you or was this on your portal?

 

[Hotsushiking]

Thats awesome, what was your complete date and what dates are available to interview if you don't mind?

 

[medicalskrrt]

This is pre-II and it was over email. As for when i was complete, I received an email confirming receipt of my secondary on 9/17 but in the email, it said I would receive a "application complete" email a few weeks later but actually, I never received an email saying that my application was complete from them lol

 

[Mainiac]

II just now. 3/13 AM, 3/18 and 3/20 were open

 

[Go2boston]

II just now. 3/13 AM, 3/18 and 3/20 were open

Have you been on hold before? Best wishes for your interview.

 

[TaiLopez]

DID ANYBODY WHO HAD A HOLD GET AN INTERVIEW!?!?

 

[girlwithwings]

II just now. 3/13 AM, 3/18 and 3/20 were open

Congrats on the II! Would you mind sharing stats? LizzyM, IS/OOS, complete date?

 

[ItsAMeMario007]

II just a few mins ago! Reapplicant with LM 68 ish. Interviewed and was placed on the post interview hold last year. Surprised and hoping for the best!

 

[noraisadoctor]

Is pre II hold a soft R here? OOS if that helps

Have you been on pre-II hold this year?

 

[Schwifty]

From watching this thread I haven't seen anyone come off Pre-II hold, and at this point I think its safe to assume its a soft R unfortunately, but thats just my guess

 

[ItsAMeMario007]

Have you been on pre-II hold this year?

No. I had not heard back anything after submitting secondary and being marked as complete.

 

[Mainiac]

Have you been on hold before? Best wishes for your interview.

I've had radio silence since submission. I honestly wasn't expecting to get any more IIs at this point so it kind of came out of left field.

Congrats on the II! Would you mind sharing stats? LizzyM, IS/OOS, complete date?

Thanks! LM 70, OOS but with some ties to PA, complete 8/8

 

[Powerlifter95]

Big old hold this morning.

 

[Princess Pre-Med]

Everyone’s hold says “continue to review” right?

 

[Go2boston]

Yes!

 

[girlwithwings]

At this point, wish they’d just given us the R instead of this late hold/soft-R.

[Anglory]

Put on hold. Submitted early Aug.

 

[wesleysnipes]

[Go2boston]

finally joining the hold crew

There is no R so far, which means the R is coming in batches

 

[DameJulie]

If I remember correctly, they don't review the "pre-II hold" group until March?
