I got a hold email after having my interview already

Members don't see this ad.
 
I called. They said many were sent out in error, especially if you have already interviewed. Some are legit

Jesus, what is up with their email errors this year. Also got a hold, 3.63/520 IS

Lol, this has to be a mistake. I got an II last week and now am on hold as well. Sort of waiting for them to send an apology email.

I just submitted my app to this school like 5 days ago and was put on hold. No way they reviewed my app by now.

So...how do you know if yours is legit or not?
Also hold

if you interviewed already or received an ii it’s probably in error. For the others, probably up in the air. I would suggest going on to banner. It should say hold if you have a Hold.

Also got a hold email. Complete 09/03. 4.0/515 IS. ORM
Sounds like too many holds. There is no update on the portal for me.

Is this what they said on the phone? My banner hasn't updated
 
I didn't get a II and I just received a hold as well, so it's possible they may have put everyone on hold until they sort out whatever error has been made. This is just speculation on my part though.

How do you see an update on the portal ? I only see the application summary on the portal.
I am also on hold

My portal also does not include a hold banner? Does this mean it was an error? I haven't received an II yet.
 
Hold. Got really sad when I saw the email. I'm not going to get my hopes up and am just going to go off of the assumption that it's real.

Does hold mean a lowkey R? or do they sent Rs right now too and hold is a good thing?
 
Hmm ya I just got a hold email despite not having my casper score received yet
 
I just got a hold and was sad...and now I see literally everyone got one. Hoping this is yet another glitch, fingers crossed!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Just spoke to someone in admissions and she said it was sent to everyone in error. So no one should be on hold she said. Lol. I told her everyone was freaking out. We live to see another day :)

I just watched their 'SUNY Upstate Medical University - Interview Day Presentation' YouTube video, and they say that there are 4 possibilities: Accepted, High Priority Alt List, Hold Alt List, and Rejection. They say that, for the Hold Alt List, it's basically a rejection.

I also had an interview already and got placed on hold. Hopefully most of the Holds people are getting are glitches
 
based on my research, some schools (IE GW) put every applicant on hold when they are reviewing-- so basically being on hold mean they are reviewing. Others (like Sunny) put people on hold when they want to reject them... so, basically, we all got a soft rejection...

It a research based on the internet, so don't take it so seriously.
 
Upstate's emails are something else this cycle! Hoping none of our holds are real <3 I will chime in and say I was Pre-II hold last cycle (eventually got the R). My experience last cycle was that Upstate puts a lot of folks on hold and some do get off, though not many (at least based on SDN posts as a poor metric). When I was on hold last cycle nothing in my portal changed, it looked identical.
See my message above! They sent in error :)
