Some schools send a secondary to every applicant while others review and select to whom they will send a secondary.
Got placed on hold this morning. Rip
“Your application to The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Science is complete and has been reviewed by the admission committee. To this date , no final decision has been made and the admission committee has placed your application on hold for re-review.”
anyone know if the pre-II hold is basically a rejection ?

It’s not. At most schools it is, but people get interviews from GW after being put on hold
Okay that’s keeps me hopeful. I guess I’ll just wait for an update later in the cycle.
did you get this in an email? Or by checking the portal?
Check portal. No email
when did you submit? Did your status ever change to under review?
Submitted sometime last week probably the 7th I don’t remember. Status changed to under review then hold
How soon after did you switch to under review? Sorry for being annoying, I submitted mine 7/5 and it stills says "
Your file is now complete. At this point we have received all the necessary credentials including your secondary application and your letters of recommendation in order for your application to be reviewed. While the committee works diligently to review applications in a timely manner, please be aware that in order to do a thorough review of your file it may be sometime until you hear from us again. We greatly appreciate your patience during the application process. Please feel free to update your file during this time using the GW Admissions Portal."
Sounds like they're only posting holds at the moment, so this may be a blessing in disguise for you haha
Doesnt it just mean they haven't looked at me yet, isn't this the normal complete message?

Anyone else have that their application status says 'waiting for MCAT scores?'. My application was verified back in June so it seems strange that they still don't have my scores
That is also very possible. I was complete 06/28 and have the same message as you!

Your file has been reviewed and by the beginning of August you will receive a formal invitation by email about how to schedule a virtual interview. Until the time the formal invitation is sent, there is nothing additional you must do.
Does this mean what I hope it does??

Submitted on 6/30. I haven't been able to find a similar message on past years GWSOM forums which is curious

This morning I was file complete (been that status since 06/28). About 15 minutes ago the status changed to on-hold!
Does this secondary have to be completed within 2 weeks? I have looked everywhere and I don't see anything but I already missed it on another secondary.

just got put on hold as well RIP (submitted 7/ 3, high stats) do we know of any other schools that have started doing portal updates like this?
Don't see any at the moment with only portal updates for post-secondary completion status.
On hold :/
Most schools don't.
The ones that actively update their portal are GWU and VCU. That's pretty much all I can think of right now.
