This is typical, they are going to read more apps as they come in and decide whom to interview 🙂

Thank you for saying this. I think I would have had an existential crisis had I thought that was an R before even an II this early.

put on hold for re-review...

did you get an email?

 

[Abby Kaplan]

so is it a bad sign if we don't get put on hold or are both complete and on hold at this point pretty neutral?

Based on my experience last year, it’s very neutral for GW!

 

[deleted1071450]

Oop now I'm concerned - submitted first day and still just "complete"

 

[oatmilkplease]

[drak1999]

There's no way Q5's character limit isn't a mistake right??? I submitted a few days ago but still dwelling on that question because my answer is literally 3 sentences...

 

[sparky21]

[ii_manifestation]

put on hold.... complete 7/25.

 

[sushiloverpremed]

Still just complete as well 😵

Last year’s thread looks like many people went right from complete to II. Manifesting this for all of us!! And for all holds to turn into IIs!

 

[ayoooooosauce]

Last year I went from hold -> II so literally hold on lol! Though complete is more wishy washy could be II or straight to pre-II R

Are you a current GW student?

 

[harry_potter138]

[ayoooooosauce]

No check your portal

Placed on hold for re-review, is there a difference between that and a regular hold?

that’s the same type of hold

 

[HopefulApplicant#10395]

Submitted 7/25/23 on hold rn. AAAA

 

[moonshapedpooll]

seems like in years past, “hold” was a soft R and accepted/interviewed applicants went from complete —> II. but it looks like last year was the exception, where many applicants went from hold —> II. love that they’re keeping us on our toes!

That's pretty anecdotal but their site says "Files may be read multiple times before a decision is made with regards to extending an interview, and it is quite common that files are put on hold before an interview invitation is extended."

I think this is true at most schools, but most schools don't tell you that you're a "maybe" for an interview.
This notification lets you know that they have already read your application, which is a good thing, but there is a lot of weeks and months of waiting in this med school application year.

 

[lumya]

Is it weird to quote myself?? Lol

GW genuinely uses holds as a delay and not as a rejection. I was on hold from July-November my year and still got in post-interview, no waitlist.

There’s like 15k apps a year. Admins probably on triage mode. I wouldn’t read too much into a hold status right now. It is a pretty low yield school so no guarantee either way but a hold isn’t a soft R.

 

[lumya]

Also today is the new MS1’s first day and I’m all nostalgic 🥺

😭 why is the system like this

 

[harry_potter138]

still no hold for me, guess time will tell if that is a good or bad sign

 

[FutureDrCoochies]

Lol the question with 350 characters is even worse! But yeah I agree it's ridiculous

 

[maine426]

Hold just now, submitted 7/11

 

[LaFlameCactus]

Hold also, if it's a soft R that's heartbreakingly early lol

 

[deleted1169361]

Did yall get an email when you were placed on hold or have you just been checking your portal?

 

[harry_potter138]

I believe you must check the portal. However, whenever IIs come out, I assume there will be an email sent.

 

[demetriusclair]

its not

Appreciate the response.

Do you get an email if you get an II?

 

[demetriusclair]

Appreciate the response.

I believe so. I haven't gotten an II so I'm not sure haha. But I think most schools at least try to.
