What’s the difference between deferred list and waitlist ?

Deferred - they haven’t made a decision on you and want to wait until the next admissions meeting to revisit your file once more people have interviewed.

Waitlist - an actual decision...which is waitlist lol.

Deferrered is a lot better than WL!

Should an October Hold be taken as a soft rejection, or do people ever get II’s from holds?

 

[FutureSurgical]

Got that rejection today lol

 

[iluvmedicine528]

Got that rejection today lol

Sorry to hear that :/ was this pre or post-II?

 

[FutureSurgical]

Pre-II. It's all good though lol. At this point, you take the good with the bad! Good luck everyone!

FWIW, Secondary submitted mid-July. Complete 8/20 (late LOR.)

What interview dates do we think will hear back on the 23rd?

Probably anything from September to Nov 20

 

[deleted843384]

Probably anything from September to Nov 20

They will not be most likely going up to Nov 20.

Noooooooooooooooooo

why do you say that

 

[deleted843384]

why do you say that

I called about my date recently

 

[futuredoctor20202002]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if I interviewed on 11/5, would it be worth it to send an update now since the next round of acceptances is next week?

 

[imnotarobotwoohoo]

Does the pm interview day really last until 4:30pm? Would a 5:15 pm flight be out of the question?

Even if you get out a bit earlier I think it would be cutting it close..

Mine went until 4:30. Especially with how unpredictable traffic can be, I would try to move your flight a little later.

It depends on your interview time, but I wouldn't chance it. I believe the last slot starts at 4, and sometimes the interviews go over.

Depends if you're in the AM or PM group. I was in AM group and was out by 2:30. Philly traffic can be crazy tho so even then it'd be cutting it close, I think.

 

[PlssHelpMe]

Got that Pre-II hold. Complete 7/23/19.
Anyone know when they generally start rejecting people off the holds?

 

[500807ag]

Pre interview R today. Complete 9/3.

I got done around 3:30 in the PM group, but my interview wasn't long and I jumped in the next group doing the short answer thing.

 

[diabetes8763]

If I already uploaded an update letter and if I want to send in another, how would I do that? On the portal it only allowed me to post one. Should I email the admissions committee with my new update?

Eeeeek. I'm hoping we'll hear by the end of this week since the 23rd is sooo close to Christmas😏

While that would be nice, they've released the last two decisions on the exact day listed. Count it as an early Christmas present 🙂

The portal said Nov 25th as the date for last month and the FB post announcing decisions is dated Nov. 22nd 🙁 What a tease 🙁

On a separate note, has anyone hear interviewed twice and gotten in the second time? im just curious if people have been successful the second time around.

Curious about this too.

 

[imjustouthere]

Pre-II hold just now. Was planning on sending updates this week. Is it a faux pas to send an update immediately after being placed on hold?

+1.

 

[OntologicalDamnation]

They interview up until April, so we still have time. At least they're rejecting people, so the hold does mean SOMETHING compared to other schools that seem to put everybody rejected on hold

[Capycapybara]

In the same boat. Do you think this is a good thing? Seems like a lot of people are getting pre-II holds.

I go by the saying that no response/silence is a good thing.

Where did you get this information??

 

[dollyparton]

I couldn't handle the uncertainty of not knowing whether decisions from my mid-November date would be released this round, so I called the admissions office. The person with whom I spoke said I would likely hear over the weekend (!!!), but I wouldn't be surprised if many/most of us don't hear back until at least Monday, as scheduled.

 

[deleted953410]

Got a pre-interview hold at 9am on a Sunday morning (December 15th). Application complete August 21st, but I sent an application update on December 1st. 🤔
