JUst called the office, and there was no change of status to mine. The person said that the email was sent in error, so LOL. But isnt this like the second or third time a wrong email was sent to us? LOLOL

Well that was a wild ride folks, now back to our regularly scheduled programming: waiting and worrying
I got an email saying the hold email was incorrectly sent to me but never received a hold email......

I received the apology letter with a link where you can check your application status, but I do not see a spot where the application status is listed.
i got an apology email. i was really about to feel pretty low they decided to put me on hold before even interviewing me lol

Looks like Upstate truly embraced what it means to live in 2020: pure chaos

Here is what I see 🙂
You are correct - you dont need to click anything after logging in

Did everyone get the "you aren't actually on hold" email? Or did they leave some people on hold and clarify it for some others as an error?
Upstate better not play games with interview invites and rejection/acceptances
Imagine they send 6,000 people an acceptance 😕
Same and wondering as well. Does anyone else have the same issue?
Same here. Just got the "hold" email 2 hours after the apology. I checked my status but nothing is there.
+1
Actuallt this was my first Hold email, so it looks like a real thing for me
Yeah, just feels bad rn because I got the email after the apology letter
My application was complete last week. If this is the real thing it's too fast lol

In their email (for correcting the hold mistake) they said that we can check our status on the site but I don't get where in the site we can do that? All I see is a table with dates that stuff was received and there is also a status column that is empty. How to interpret this?

My best guess was that they might be referring to this 'Application Status' line under the application summary, but not entirely sure--any chance someone can confirm that the status changes from 'complete' when a decision is made?

WOW. This is very weird, I don't have that line (Application status) at all!!!
Am I not complete? I got a complete email after a few days of submission! very confused rn.

same!
I think it’s just their janky portal. I have an interview and I still don’t have an application status line

Oh man yeah this is super weird, I have no idea what's going on anymore.
But if you got a complete email I'm sure you're complete!

"Dear Applicant,
In order to clarify any possible confusion regarding a recent email sent to all applicants on Friday regarding a “Hold Status”, we wanted to let you know that you were, in fact, supposed to receive that notification. "
Oh my God, guys, I just can't. I'm OOS with some ties, I threw in an app to cover my bases but these people are something else, man. Unbelievable.

Got a clarification email that I am indeed scheduled for an II and to double confirm that the hold was incorrect.
Wait is this quoted verbatim?
Just got the hold email too and I was complete 8/14.
