---

Members do not see this ad.

So my Case status changed to Hold # 2. Anyone else have similar status- what does it mean?

 

[Cubanitachiquit]

yes i do! thats so weird u posted this! i just checked that. i think its b/c i don't think i sent in my supp. fee or anything else. u?

 

[johnjohnjohn]

I interviewed there- they have everything that they need. pretty strange.

 

[Cubanitachiquit]

hmm.. don't kno??

 

[Cubanitachiquit]

are u gonna call?

 

[that guy]

same.

i called yesterday and was told they have sent out their invites (most of them) and will re-review hold candidates after Jan15 (their deadline)

 

[Cubanitachiquit]

invites?? as in acceptances, or interview invites?

 

[johnjohnjohn]

same.

did yours say # 2 also?

 

[that guy]

acceptances.. they are more careful this year as last year they overfilled their seats. therefore theyve already sent out their first wave of acceptances; as students decline and more open up, then the committee will meet again to send out the rest of the acceptances

at least thats what ive been told

my status at case just changed from "invited for interview" to "Interview Pending-Primary Interview Pending-Alternate" .... i haven't interviewed there yet... what is that supposed to mean?

if youve already scheduled an interview i wouldnt be too concerned. but call just to make sure

 

[lemoncurry]

when i called on friday, they said my file was in a "hold" state. I interviewed in Oct. My understanding is that it's almost like a waitlist, or second string for possible acceptances. Either way, it didn't sound good to me.


EDIT: I'm hold #2 as well. I don't like being #2.

 

[pkossak]

Same here. Hope its not opposed to "Hold #1"

 

[llkg21]

same here.
do you think that #2 is post interview hold, vs #1 pre-interview hold? if there is such thing.

 

[teefy16]

I also have Hold #2 and have not received an interview. Actually, they still think I'm going to retake my DATs and are waiting for those scores before they review my app. I should probably withdraw soon. haha

 

[Schnitzels]

I am also on Hold #2. When I called last Friday they told me that the admissions committee is still considering me and will re-review my file at a later date. However, the letter I got in the mail today says that they "may give further consideration to my application." I don't like the way that sounds. I'd like to think there is still some hope.

 

[blankguy]

I'm joining this club. Hopefully something good will come out of this.

 

[lemoncurry]

I just got my letter in the mail and it really wasn't encouraging at all. The funny thing is, when I interviewed with the dean of admissions, i noticed that he had checked the box on the cover of my file that was in the "accept" column.

 

[dmonee6]

How bout i have an even stranger situation... i'm pretty sure Case rejected me months ago, but now all of a sudden i have that "hold #2" also. Not sure what the deal is

 

[florida28]

just checked my aadsas...add me to the hold #2 list. i'm not liking the sound of this. 🙁 still haven't received the letter you guys are talking about though...but i'm sure i will soon.

 

[sehrmoon]

case is messed up. they are rejecting good applicants, i dunno whats up their brains.

 

[that guy]

all these holds! has anyone been rejected from there or do they just put everyone on "hold 2"

looks like everyone in here is looking for a rare spot at case

 

[florida28]

someone posted this on predents...is this serious?

"Received a letter saying App was placed on hold and that no one's been taken off hold in the last 4 yrs. Effectively a rejection."

do the letters you guys have received say anything like this?

 

[lemoncurry]

exactly what my letter said.

 

[Jaba]

ok so what exactly is Hold #2? good or bad?

 

[Smileen]

Me too!! "hold #2"😀

I think that's better than "application recieved/denied"

 

[florida28]

well that's not helping my stress level. isn't case taking it slow this year though b/c of the fact that they accepted too many people last year? if that's the deal, wouldn't they have to accept some of us who have hold #2, whatever that is? i wouldn't think they would fill the class with the first round of acceptances.

 

[dmonee6]

If i get another letter in the mail, that will be the third time in 2 application cycles i've been rejected from there . Doesn't bother me one bit, Ohio is WAY to cold for me. Hopefully for the rest of you hold #2 turns out to be a good situation.

 

[dromyousuf]

i got rejected by case a while back but my aadsas says hold #2 also. what the hell!

 

[Jaba]

all of a sudden I dont think Hold #2 is anything important.... ohh 🙁 i was so hoping for some great news.

 

[DrSmiles12]

Hold 2 means that 190 applicants were interviewed and the top 70 were accepted. Everyone that wasn't accepted was put on hold and then the other 120 will be ranked and around jan 15th ish about 40 or so will be accepted again from those top 40/(120+recent interviews)

 

[AceDentist]

I haven't received anything from Case since the first check list letter indicating my application is completed. Did you guy receive another letter indicating " Hold 2" ?

so in that case, if i havent received an interview yet, my status should really just theoretically be under review..... what importance does it have to tell us that we are Hold "2"....?

mine was on aadsas... .updated today.

 

[that guy]

my aadsas just changed from "hold 2" to nothing at all🙄

 

[Smileen]

My status changed from "hold #2" to "under review" 😕
What will happen next? I am so nervous!!!

 

[Schnitzels]

Mine too! Oh noooo!!! But I still did receive a letter saying my app. file was on hold. Hmmmm....

mine changed back also.... I called to ask them about it and they said that they are still missing my DAT and a rec letter that is kind of late. So I am really nervous. Does anyone know how many more spots are available?

[nmgator1]

Anyone know if there is a difference between "hold #2" and that aadsaas status still saying application received/under review. I did get the letter in the mail saying I was put on hold.

Problem for me is I was accepted at USC and I have to tell them by Jan. 14. Do I wait, and hold out for Case, or do I make the decision to go to USC? I'd probably much rather go to Case.

 

[sicspeed]

Has everyones status changed from Hold #2 to received/under review? Or just a select few of us?

 

[lemoncurry]

probably everyone.

 

[that guy]

mine doesnt say anything now on the right column. left still says received under review

 

[blankguy]

Yes that is very true. I have spoken to Case. Also, out of that (120 + recent interviews), some were rejected after being granted an interview and of course some people waitlisted at Case got accepted in other places and are withdrawing. So the 120+recent interviews needs to look like (120 waitlisted + recent interviews - rejections of interviewed people - people leaving waitlist that were accepted elsewhere). I am predicting no more than 25 people will accept out of the 70 initial acceptances. (I have nothing to base this on, though, just my opinion.)
