Hi, does anyone know if the ISCOPES service-learning program is still active at GW?
 
+1 OOS On Hold. Submitted 08/03. Saw hold today 08/17
 
Y’all please calm down, this isn’t healthy. We all want to get acceptances, but GW hasn’t even sent out IIs yet. They do this every year and every year people freak out. A hold just means that they’ve looked at your application and have scored it for when they do start sending out invites. Same thing happened last year and the year before that.

I honestly did not know that. I know GW places a bunch of people on hold but I thought it was soft R essentially.
 
Submitted 07/23. Saw OOS pre-interview hold on 08/20 (may have come earlier)
 
so for the question about campus preference, if we selected main campus only or main campus preference, we don't have to answer it correct? im also a bit confused on how to evaluate which campus is right for me and if there is a better chance of getting in if i say "preferred" vs. "only" for the campus choices

They want to know why you would be better for the NOLA campus. I’m not sure if it increases your odds
 
Can’t remember what was said earlier in the chat, but do we know based on previous years if the pre-II hold is a good, neutral or not-so-good sign?

Neutral, common, at many schools it just means they will discuss these holds at a committee meeting and select some of you to interview
 
For those who got an interview, (how long) were you on hold? Also did they email you or did you check the portal for the II?

did you guys receive an email from gw confirming your application is complete and ready for review? i only received a portal status update saying it is complete.

mine says: no final decision has been made and your application has been placed on hold for re-review. I am taking it as a silent rejection.

Not a silent rejection.
 
Just got the pre-II hold, keeping my fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🤞
 
For their interview, is it just a 30-minute session? Do they require anything else afterwards (student interview, campus tour etc)?
 
Pre-II hold, submitted 8/12, just opened the portal for the first time since submitting lol and saw that. Do they not email you with updates?
 
I submitted on 8/7 and have no updates 🙁 Anyone else?
edit: pre-II hold 9/12

Last year they were all over the place. I didn’t get a hold until much later then got a rejection via email in October.
 
+1 OOS hold. Submitted 8/23, saw hold today on portal 9/9. What does this mean? Good sign? Bad? LM 70.6
 
Last year they didn’t put me on hold for a while then I got an R. So hold is not necessarily bad.
 
is "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" different from from pre-II hold or are they saying the same thing?
