Congrats! And wow - that was a really long wait!!
 
I just got off the phone with a rude admissions lady and she said they don't require prerequisites anymore. I know this is coming from the source but can someone confirm this ?(still taking the prerequisites regardless)

I looked on the website and it still states the recommended bio, chem, etc classes.

Did anyone who is placed on hold receive this email? I was interviewed in Nov, but not accepted/rejected/placed on hold yet. I am wishfully thinking that maybe this was sent to a pile of people that still might get accepted before April instead of being placed on hold?

I have no idea. I know someone who was placed on hold a couple of weeks after their interview. He never got his email. I think it’s just to stop people from calling or emailing for updates.

Which dates did they give you as options?
Click to expand...
I also got an II a couple days ago for mid March. I had two days to pick from my over a week period with the last date being on 3/17. They also gave me like 3 days to respond or lose my invite, so my guess is I'm fighting for a WL spot, but still going for it.

OOS. App complete 9/30. LM 75ish
 
How it's feeling now that it's February and has been over 6 months

Is there usually hold movement, or do you just hear on April 30th?

From past threads it looks like there will be a few acceptances off hold starting in late March/early April. The Friday before the 30th is historically when the first huge wave of As arrive. April 30th will be the absolute last possible day of waiting.

Stay strong hold fam :xf:
 
Accepted 2/4, interview 11/5 no hold. I am in disbelief!! Last year I interviewed 1/31, placed on hold & rejected 4/30.

My advice is 100% ask for feedback if you are rejected post-II (there are instructions in the portal after the R.)

In my second interview they asked what was the feedback I received and I hadn’t requested it thinking I already knew what they wanted. I’m lucky that didn’t tank me.

Can confirm. I emailed earlier because one of their portals on the secondary app lists prerequisite courses that need to be completed. It sounds like it should’ve been removed from their system but wasn’t.
