Not much. Hold can turn into acceptance or waitlist.

I’ve been on hold for about a month. No word yet. My friend is an M1 this year and she went on hold in February last year and got accepted May 18th. So I’m not freaking out until the end of May 🙂

If I remember correctly, fin aid packages came through well into the summer (like June) for the current M1s

I called, and they said that they extended interview invitations until "mid-April" so I'm hoping we'll know one way or anther by Friday.
What's the likelihood of getting off the hold list? I can't seem to find anything other than anecdotes of people coming off.

It's already april 20th and they still have not sent out rejections and/or II. Does anyone know what is going on? I am so confused.
Interviewed 3/14 and was put in holding category for re-review. No news since then.
Ya I haven’t heard anything yet

Am I wrong or does it look like mostly everyone is put on hold if they’re not accepted? Does anyone get rejected after interviewing? Or does everyone go on hold until the end of the cycle??
i know people who have gotten rejected after interviewing
Seems like at the end of the cycle they’re just putting everyone on hold. I know they have done post interview rejections but I haven’t heard of one in a long time
fair! i just know people who interviewed around the same time as me (beginning of April) and they got the R while I got the hold. So I have some faith that the hold is not a silent rejection lol
Oh no way! That is good news for us on hold. Thanks for that🙂
I know people who interviewed before me and got the R as well!
This makes me wonder how many people are on the Hold/WL versus how many will come off of it
I would love to know how many are on the list. Per UTHSC an average of 60 come off every year for the past few years. That's a quite a few considering class size. Could be interpreting that incorrectly, but that's what I understood it to mean.

Looks like that source is specifically about the alternate list so maybe that means even better news for the WL/hold position. I assume some will get accepted right off the WL and others will be an alternate and get accepted later down the road? That’s what I’m interpreting it as
Dang 60 is a lot. And that’s not including people that come off of the hold list before the alternate list even forms (which I don’t imagine is a ton). Don’t want to get hopes up though because there very well could be a ton of applicants on hold (soon to be alternate list)

Nope. Figured I would hear something by now after my interview. Been around three weeks
Have they not even put you on hold yet? They seem to send decisions on Thursdays

You could also be put on hold! It took me about 3 weeks to hear back and I was put on hold. I'm 6 weeks post interview on hold.
My portal still says my app is under review? I'm kind of assuming it's a rejection at this point but is anyone else in this boat/what do you guys think
when did you interview
I could be wrong, but I feel like any interview that happened from mid-March on was an automatic hold or rejection. I have not heard/known of anyone getting accepted after that date
I haven't interviewed! my portal just says that they haven't reviewed my app yet
I have not been put on hold. I think my interview went really well, but we shall see!
I completely agree with this. I think it was their way to try to be fair with the last few spots that they have to give.
I just hope they have that alternate list ranked by May 2, so they can start making calls that very week!
Called today to make sure I haven’t missed anything on my behalf. Said that the admissions committee is wrapping up with things and that we should hear something by end of week (for those that interviewed early April at least)
just got placed on the alternate list after being on hold
Alright I am dying to know how many people are on this alternate waitlist now. 100? 200? Do you think they would tell me if I asked?
If you do ask please let us know

+1. Does anyone really know what that means

Also curious if anyone got rejected after being on hold or if they just dumped everyone onto an alternate list
Or if anyone got that A

from what I am gathering it looks like the alternate list is basically what any other school's waitlist is. apparently an average of 60 people got off the alternate list each year in the past four years
That’s exactly what it is
So for this school, WL is different than alternate? Is one more preferable?
