Members don't see this ad.

Any more holds recently? If so, what date were y'all complete

 

[neuroticpremed222]

no change over here, complete 8/2.

 

[momobrobro]

what was the date if you don't mind me asking? waiting on the email with a date as well and trying to gauge if I need to get last minute PTO for it if it's this month

Originally August 27th, but had to reschedule to the 29th due to a conflict with my work schedule lol.

 

[barbiedoc07]

My status changed to interview invitation on Tuesday, but I haven't received the scheduling email yet. Would it be inappropriate for me to reach out to admissions to ask when I should expect to receive it? I have a few interviews scheduled and I'm worried about asking for more time off at the last minute.

 

[gilgameshMD]

no change over here, complete 8/2.

Also complete 8/2. Based on completion times I am hoping we will hear something in the next week or two!

 

[SushiSphinx]

No change. Still on application complete. Submitted 7/29

 

[bonesaw420]

Got this message on the portal, does mean that they don't want to give an II just yet, but also saw me and didn't say no right at first?

"To date, no final decision has been made and the Admissions Committee has placed your application on hold for re-review at a later date. Files are re-reviewed by the committee periodically and there is no set schedule for decisions."

it's basically a pre-II hold. most schools use them but few schools actually tell you that you are on them. And yes they saw your app, liked it enough not to reject you, but want to see what other apps come in before making a II decision--which could come anytime between now and march of next year lol. Welcome to the long road ahead

If you don’t mind me asking, when were you complete? It’s not a rejection, you still got time, but it looks like they reviewed your app!

 

[AppliedBehaviorAddiction]

Finally on hold, too! Hey, at least it isn't a rejection.

[AppliedBehaviorAddiction]

Complete date?

[flowerplant2000]

[gudeggtama]

^also no change, submitted 07/28-- i feel like theyre getting to us soon 😳

 

[The Deep]

I'm 8/2 and am scared

 

[Eldenring22]

7/16 complete and nothing yet so I’m hoping soon lol

 

[bonesaw420]

I submitted secondary on 7/29

 

[cerebralforks]

OOS II, completed 7/31! This is my top choice I would really appreciate any advice 🙂

 

[redtrain21]

OOS II, completed 7/31! This is my top choice I would really appreciate any advice 🙂

Email or did you check portal?

 

[cerebralforks]

Email or did you check portal?

Email!

 

[PreMedNeurotic]

Are they going in order of date of submission?

 

[throwaway4444]

OOS II received, complete 7/28

 

[doctorellewoods]

Has anyone that was "on hold" gotten an II? (sorry if this has already been asked)

 

[tinkertots23]

Has anyone that was "on hold" gotten an II? (sorry if this has already been asked)

Not yet this year, but that's because it's barely August. From previous years, yes many did.

 

[gilgameshMD]

Are they going in order of date of submission?

Roughly, but many folks who are "passed" the date are getting IIs a week or so later. Doesn't seem to be a death sentence if someone from 7/28 received an II and you were complete on 7/27.

 

[Hazelyn]

When they will send rejection?

 

[BlackForester]

If your portal is not on hold what does it specifically say???

 

[Basalganglia4life]

If your portal is not on hold what does it specifically say???

It appears the the three status are complete, hold and interview

 

[PreMedNeurotic]

I've been marked complete since 7/22. Dunno what this could mean for me

 

[BlackForester]

Does hold = soft rejection ???

 

[AppliedBehaviorAddiction]

Does hold = soft rejection ???

Not for GW - most people get put on hold here.

 

[Basalganglia4life]

same for me since 7/15

I think I’d rather complete over hold at this point

 

[just_a_bagel]

I have the same message and I submitted my secondary on 7/16 with all the materials required.

 

[DeleriousStudent13]

Well at least if you're on hold you know they have seen your application. Still being on complete makes you think they haven't even looked at yours yet.

 

[Eldenring22]

I’m more thinking I’m gonna get an R when they send the wave lol

 

[lonelywoolf]

I’m pretty sure still being on complete just means they haven’t looked at your app. Last cycle other people who submitted after me had their apps reviewed before mine and I still ended up on hold. Wouldn’t get my hopes up too much if they’re reviewing apps after yours, just means that they most likely haven’t gotten to your app yet

 

[BlackForester]

I think I’d rather complete over hold at this point

complete = ii? hold = rejection?

 

[BlackForester]

complete = ii? hold = rejection?

based on previous years

 

[Basalganglia4life]

complete = ii? hold = rejection?

Hold doesn’t mean rejection necessarily. Previous years (and this cycle) the first wave of iis went to people with complete status. About even complete/hold status received further iis in previous cycles. Complete so far this cycle has meant app hasn’t been read or possible ii

 

[Hazelyn]

Probably, if someone with the same date as you got II, it means you are on hold. Rejection is coming in September.

 

[SushiSphinx]

has anyone who submitted 7/29 gotten put on hold?

 

[lonelywoolf]

has anyone who submitted 7/29 gotten put on hold?

I submitted 7/31 and was put on hold by 8/10

 

[SushiSphinx]

I submitted 7/31 and was put on hold by 8/10

oh weird. i submitted 7/29 and I am still on complete 🙁

 

[neuroscinerd34]

oh weird. i submitted 7/29 and I am still on complete 🙁

It's not that weird, there are people from 7/15 still on complete. They don't review the apps exactly in order

 

[DeleriousStudent13]

It's not that weird, there are people from 7/15 still on complete. They don't review the apps exactly in order

How dare they not do it in a manner that makes it easier for us to know what's going on

 

[nerotcinboxrefrshr]

On hold for re-review sometime after Friday, submitted 7/31, LM 70.6

 

[AppliedBehaviorAddiction]

Anyone know if a hold turns into an R, do you get an email? Just asking because I know we had to log into the portal to know if we got a hold or not.

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

Anyone know if a hold turns into an R, do you get an email? Just asking because I know we had to log into the portal to know if we got a hold or not.

according to last year, yes

 

[DeterminedWind]

They get back pretty quickly, I got an R in October last year through email after being placed on hold.
