What does a hold mean at this college?

What does a hold mean at this college?

All I know is that it is a hold to get an interview. I am not sure if they put everyone on hold instead of handing out Rs. I haven't seen very many Rs, so I am under the impression they put a lot of people on hold and will reject them all later. Anyone else have anymore insight?

 

[m1redsox]

pre-II hold, non-IE

 

[Auroracat9]

+n Hold Complete 8/14

definitely a large pool of holds. unsure if it’s a soft R. considering they end interviews mid-March I’m guessing we could get an interview if space opens up by others withdrawing. I’m non-IE as well so that probably played a factor in my hold.

Is “hold” a soft “R”? They said their interview cycle would conclude in mid-March. It is already mid-February...

I wonder how many people are on their pre-II waitlist ..

 

[994904]

Surprisingly, I haven't received a hold email yet. No IE ties, complete in August. It's probably coming haha

 

[lela013]

was complete in august and no hold yet, but I am waiting for it... unless they want to surprise me with an II 🙂))

+1 but completed in September

 

[caterwaiter]

+5 pre-II hold. IS with no IE ties, complete August.

 

[DrK9]

I don't understand the point of sending out holds at this point. It's already mid-February and there's only a few slots remaining for the interview.

 

[kartoffel]

+6 on the pre-II hold, complete August

welp, didn't have high hopes on this place anyway 🙁

 

[shellgraham]

Pretty sure they put us all on Pre-II hold and they will not reject anyone until the end of the interview process. That being said, I don't think that the chances of receiving an interview are none. They're probably just very slim.

 

[Wakanda70]

They are probably full at this point. 🙁

[Nugester]

Hold as well!

 

[deleted1024001]

This is now a total of 15 pre-Ii holds, updated a few hours after they sent the email by the few of us commenting on sdn. Could you imagine how many they sent out in reality?

 

[grayfoxgrarnir]

Hold as well, they sent me the secondary in Nov. so pretty much knew this was a donation...

 

[EDVIP]

Hold! Lol what the heck is the point of this

 

[deleted1009711]

I did NOT get a hold o.0. Still just silence...

 

[Icejunito]

I also did not get a hold. Grew up in the IE so very stong ties

 

[lela013]

To those on hold, don't lose hope! their timeline for acceptances seems to be longer than many other schools so there is still time to get off that waitlist! To us still waiting in silence, crossing my fingers we hear something this week!

when the hold gang is the only thing keeping you up

[journey2med]

any Haider applicants put on hold? Haider applicant here, complete in August but complete silence since then. Not sure how to interpret this

 

[R=1-sin(theta)]

UCR receives around 5500 applications, Interviews around 250, accepts approximately 125 to fill a class of 70.

 

[Mowgli11]

Got the hold email

 

[klutzyangel1]

Have people submitted update letters? If so, through portal or email? I'm getting an error on the portal.

I emailed them with my update.

 

[DrK9]

Completed mid-August. With a wave of holds, I'm confused if NOT getting a hold email supposed to be a good thing or bad thing. Is 'no new = a good news' still valid at this moment...

I did it by email back in December and they replied saying they added it to my application.

 

[HazelHippie]

H o l d !

 

[jt280]

LOL at the amount of holds. They should just be more upfront and send out straight Rs.

 

[Wakanda70]

Anyone NOT a hold? 🙂

 

[994904]

Anyone NOT a hold? 🙂

Still me but what does this complete silence mean lol

 

[journey2med]

Anyone NOT a hold? 🙂

Me! Are you a haider applicant?

 

[Wakanda70]

Me! Are you a haider applicant?

No 🙂

 

[captain_keyes]

Hold as well lol, thought there might have been a chance until I checked here and saw all the other holds

 

[LifestyleMedicine]

I emailed them with my update.

I was trying to use the portal but kept getting errors so Im going to email now! Thanks!

Around 50%. See my post above.

 

[WoweeBoi]

Congrats! Around 50% for normal applicants and 55% for haider. Are you a haider applicant?

Did you already interview or is this a pre-interview hold?

 

[DrK9]

Complete silence for me

 

[doobeebop]

Got a hold as well, so I guess the wave continues.
