WHAT DOES IT MEANN

I think it’s new? At least it wasn’t around when I last applied.

 

[Yuhsee]

+1 OOS pre-II hold was complete 7/27

 

[deleted906592]

WHAT DOES IT MEANN

oops nvm it is not new 🫢

 

[JPace24]

WHAT DOES IT MEANN

Brutal honesty here: probably a soft R similar to Tulane's pre-II hold. But that could be just cynicism.

 

[PickaGodnPray]

WHAT DOES IT MEANN

General rule of thumb: If a school sends you an email update saying you are on hold, that hold is more than likely a soft R.

Similar daily routine for seeing which coach Penn State is trying to contact and whether James Franklin decided on a new job. Looks like the latter finally happened.

why are you withdrawing? what does that do?

He is rejecting Penn State— not the other way around.

If it’s because you got an A somewhere else congrats!

What did this email look like? Did they just say your application was paused?

 

[Snazzy_iceberg]

What did this email look like? Did they just say your application was paused?

It said something like my application was placed in a hold category and a decision hasn’t been made yet

 

[Xanthous1]

I wonder if it would be safe to assume if it has been crickets, it's a rejection?
