Most likely around their next decision release day (Oct 16th). My bet would be after.

Cycle track from last two years showed that a wave was sent out around the beginning of October, so I'm keeping my finger crossed

guys what does a post ii hold mean. am i waitlisted or does this just mean my decision is made???? im tweaking

I’m tweaking too. It seems all applicants who pass the initial review phase get on hold. If I get rejected, u will get a straight rejection email. So it’s a good thing.

in past years, it means u didn't get rejected post-interview, so you are at worst going to be waitlisted or hopefully will be accepted!
They haven't had their committee meeting yet to discuss recently interviewed people, or, they have discussed you but they want to compare you to upcoming applicants.
It's neutral news and not bad news.

Good thing good thing it means at the least you’re waitlisted I believe

+1 post II hold for committee
per the email, this is the best possible outcome at this point in time. It means you are being considered for admission actively (i.e. not rejected). They do not release ANY acceptances until Oct 16th, so everyone who will be accepted on that date (or any other date) who has interviewed will be on hold up to that point.

OOS II submitted 7/24 complete I think early September
To be fair I have no idea. It's essentially no news. But it is necessary, which is my main point I guess.

Admit org and MSAR says
Applications -> Interviews -> Acceptances -> Matriculated
IS: 1108 -> 310 -> 149 -> 100
OOS: 5274 -> 463 -> 295 -> 75
So IS accepts 48% and OOS accepts 64% of interviews!

Do we have any idea how many of these As come are from waitlist/how many of them are straight up As?
They took 75 people off the waitlist last year, that’s all they reported

I wish I was oos </3
I don't think you necessarily wish that. VCU interviews 28% of IS applicants and only 9% of OOS applicants. Being IS looks to be a clear advantage, though these numbers don't tell the whole story.
Beat me to typing this, but also they have to accept more OOS applicants as many will choose to not go due to being accepted in their home state, having better offers, etc etc.

Does anyone know how vcu is about letter of interest/intent this cycle? I checked and found this cycle they have a different policy in sending updates so not sure about LOI now.
What is their different policy on updates? (And i do not know the answer to your question--sorry and thank you!)

Saw the last hold emails went out on a Wednesday so I’m holding off on freaking out
Well seeming as it’s both of us I think it’s probably that and there’s no need to worry.
