Just put on hold.

Received an e-mail stating "Application Still Under Review: We appreciate your interest in the University of Rochester Medical School and wanted to let you know review of applications is still ongoing. We have not forgotten you! Your application has been placed on hold and a decision regarding an interview will be made by the beginning of January. "

I was actually expecting a quick R from Rochester due to the lack of a secondary question allowing me to elucidate certain parts of my app so I'm feeling good about the hold. I was planning to visit a friend up in Rochester in February so maybe it's all just meant to be haha.

Was complete 10/30.


Good luck to everyone out there! <3

Looking at last year's thread it seems like some people got an interview after receiving this email. But apparently last year was the first time they sent out these emails so who knows what it's going to be like this year

 

[yunglord13]

Complete 8/21. Got the hold as well. Better than an outright R so I’ll take it.

 

[shirac]

silence since early August....have they sent Rs yet?

Not that I've heard of, worried I got that silent R.

 

[brainreducio]

Also complete early August, total silence still

I think the idea of "soft Rs" when it comes to holds is a little too extreme. Admission committees aren't out here playing games, but they do need to hedge their bets. If you were put on hold it most likely means that there is something about your application they like but they've already put out a bunch of IIs already and need to see how those go.

It's rough for them if you think about it. Med schools need to accept just the right amount of people. Not everyone they accept will matriculate, and it's a balancing act to make sure they don't accept too few or too many.

[pursuingmed2]

I feel like they've definitely had to send out some Rs at this point if they're putting holds on all of us... Trying to stay positive.

A Bojack Horseman reaction to my Tuca and Bertie profile pic? What is this? A crossover episode?

Also, complete 8/6, OOS, with a 72 LM and just got the "still under review email". University of Rochester med school applicants. What do we know? Do we know things? Let's find out!

HOLD. Has there been a R wave? Or are they putting everyone on hold for one big Rtsunami?

 

[cacerot13]

[Auroracat9]

+n Hold
Complete 7/15

 

[applecidervinegar]

Hold too, complete late August. Does anyone recall whether a hold here is a soft R or a real potential for reconsideration?

 

[2020heme]

I think its sort of like the hold over at NYU. The way the phrased the email seemed genuine and that they will probably take some people off hold.

 

[hydrophobicmed]

hold. LOL, it looks like they just don't interview anyone until Jan.

 

[tall_expat]

When the hold gang is the only thing keeping you up

 

[Kahalaopuna]

On hold as well! Complete 8/26.
