[NocturnalSir3n]

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.

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

Same! No official email confirmation, but portal states, "Your file has been reviewed and 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."

OOS II from CA, LM ~67

 

[neuroticpremed222]

On hold, complete 8/2 🥲

 

[hopefuldoc7381]

on hold complete 8/4

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

so for those of us still complete from july, do we just have slower reviewers?

 

[averagepremed0101]

so for those of us still complete from july, do we just have slower reviewers?

I think so 😭 I’ve been submitted since 7/15 and no changes on my portal. Still complete

 

[Eldenring22]

I am prepared for the R but only time will tell we don’t know how it goes behind the scenes. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. We did our part.

 

[The Deep]

How did you guys know when you were complete? I don't think I received a complete email.

 

[neuroticpremed222]

It says it on the portal, down to the exact time!

 

[NocturnalSir3n]

How did you guys know when you were complete? I don't think I received a complete email.

It should be in your status

 

[The Deep]

It should be in your status

Yeah, but it doesn't say exactly when you were complete.

 

[stew_md]

Yeah, but it doesn't say exactly when you were complete.

When I submitted my secondary I logged back in and it said I was complete, so I'm assuming its automatic as long as you have submitted all necessary materials. Therefore in my situation submit date = complete date.

Yeah, in my case, my letters came in late, so I guess the best I could come up with is a range of dates.

 

[bonesaw420]

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

I submitted 7/29 and was on hold as of 8/14 or so? I never got an email that I was on hold, I just logged on and saw that my status had changed. It seems that an email will come for either ii or R

[guntherthepenguin123]

Complete 7/26/24, I haven't received a hold, R, or II yet. They are playing with my emotions!

I'm really starting to wonder what the point is of submitting my secondaries early when people who submitted several weeks after me are getting responses... Do any schools actually go in order lol

Also 7/26 with no hold or II yet. Wondering if maybe they just skipped our day haha

 

[AppliedBehaviorAddiction]

I don't think the 'apply early' thing is as helpful as everyone says it is, at least across the board. A school like Pitt - very important. But, a school like this looks like they really do a year-long cycle.

 

[Sosayitditto]

On hold. Complete 8/1.

 

[berry_tart]

Still on complete, submitted 7/23

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

Also 7/26 with no hold or II yet. Wondering if maybe they just skipped our day haha

+1 7/22; a possibility we just have slower reviewers

Yes, hopefully that's all it is, trying to stay optimistic but just for transparency for others I didn't go on hold until about a week before I ultimately got the R in January last cycle, so I'm not really sure how much any of this means

 

[Mr.Robot]

I completed 7/24 and I still haven't gotten a change, I'm worried I might be missing something on the app but it says they have everything

I submitted 7/21 and at this point I'm starting to feel like my complete status is a bad thing

 

[ooompalooompa]

On hold for re-review today submitted 8/3

 

[steffiswims]

Canadian, on hold today (was not there yesterday). I submitted 8/2

 

[The Deep]

Just to be sure, you guys getting holds are being emailed, right? You aren't just obsessively checking your portals for status changes like I am?

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

holds are not emailed

 

[BabySnoopy]

I didn’t get an email telling me I got put on hold, I just saw it in the portal one dayI wouldn’t worry too much about it though because it seems like the hold is arbitrary and that we shouldn’t read into it

 

[sleepwalking]

OOS II today! Complete 7/15, LM 78

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

OOS II today! Complete 7/15, LM 78

were u ever on hold

 

[bonesaw420]

what did it change to?

This is the "on-hold" message:

Your application to The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences is complete and has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee. 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. We do interview from August through March. Please feel free to update your file during this time using the GW Admissions Portal. If we require any further documentation or if your status changes, we will contact you immediately. We do sincerely appreciate your interest in our program. Thank you for your patience.

 

[Deggroll]

got the official email confirmation for the II. Kinda weird how they schedule it themselves lol

 

[sleepwalking]

were u ever on hold

No

 

[tinkertots23]

Torturing ourselves with what holds mean or the complete date and when they will review/how they will do it is useless! If you've submitted your app, just have faith and take it easy. There is nothing else you can do and overanalyzing is just harmful.

 

[Eldenring22]

On hold for re-review today 7/16 completed. I’m actually surprised I was expecting an R but hey! I’ll take it!

[bread_cheese_bread]

On hold! Submitted 8/2. This thread is giving conflicting opinions on what that means, so I'm just gonna take it as an R and move on (maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised)

I also think it’s a soft R and for now we just wait unless proved otherwise

Same boat as you... was fully expecting the R but at least it's something!
