Hi! I interviewed at the beginning of December, and my application was placed in a holding category until a final decision has been made. I'm a first-time applicant, and I do not know when I should expect to hear back. I have sent updated grades and information, but I am not sure how much weightage that has. Any advice would be much appreciated!
 
If anyone gets an II this week please let us know. I think this will be the last week IIs will go out.
 
I feel like there hasn't been this much silence (related to acceptance calls) in the entire thread this cycle, surely the class isn't full right?

No, I highly doubt it's full. Maybe the committee hasn't met recently or match day set them back. I bet we will see some As next week
 
Is there anybody out there still waiting for an II that didn’t get the micro site email? The silence is killing me especially due to the microsite email I got, but continued silence. UT is my dream school, but I’m feeling more pressure to move on my other acceptances with every passing day.

i dont think the micro email meant anything.
 
Currently there are 101 people in the GroupMe and 89 people in the Facebook group
Makes me wonder how many accepted students have no clue about the GroupMe/Facebook… hard to know
 
We’re about to have this big storm in memphis and schools have been closing for the day, might affect them getting around to calling acceptances today
 
Stressing tho because the GroupMe has gone up at least 10-15 people in the past week or 2 🤔 (I'm now seeing it at 110)

Just got put on post interview hold here. "The Committee on Admissions has not made a final decision and has placed your application in a holding category".
 
Maybe they have a few spots left and they want to get through looking at all of the recent interviews before deciding which to offer spots to and which to put on the alternate list
That seems like it would make sense... are the only options post-interview: A, Reject, or Holding category?
 
Is there anyone who has an interview scheduled for April that hasnt happened yet?
 
If we haven't received an II by now, it is safe to assume a rejection?
According to their website, "Interviews are scheduled beginning in October through the end of March by invitation only." Obviously none of us can be 100% sure, but I would start to prepare for that possibility.
 
I just got off the phone with them, and they said, "the admissions committee has decided to extend interview invitations until mid-April." So for those of us still out there hoping for an II, there's still a small sliver of hope! Hang in there!
 
Placed on hold. Hopefully turns into an A 🙂 Interviewed a couple weeks ago.

Whoops... I am on hold. I updated my post. I am not sure of the distinction between the two.
Hold means you're in a waiting category where they'll re-review your application every time they meet as they finish up the end of interview season (I'm assuming so they can give later interviewees a fair chance before offering any acceptances). The waitlist or alternate list is what UTHSC calls it is where people still on the hold list get put, and then they're ranked, then accepted when spots open up!

Also has anyone gotten off the hold list yet?
