Members don't see this ad.

just got the following message from EVMS:
The Committee on Admissions has reviewed your file for admission to the entering class of 2005. Your application is being placed in a HOLD category and will remain active.

This is not a rejection. There are aspects of your application that are quite competitive, and we will be reviewing your application after we have the opportunity to view more of this year's applicant pool. We will be interviewing through the spring of 2005

If you have any additional information which would enhance your application, e.g., completed course work, retaking of the MCAT, or relevant letters of evaluation, please forward the appropriate materials as soon as possible.


is this the kiss of death? or do I still have a chance?
thanks for any input

Just curious, what was your GPA/MCAT and are you a resident of the state?

I got the same thing. I'm not expecting much.

I think this is encouraging. Maybe you need to retake the MCAT, or get some more EC's over the next months? I don't know your situation, but maybe they're going to feel you out, to see how much effort you're going to put in to get into their school. Is this your first choice school? Anyway, I don't think this is a bad thing. I think they're really looking at you, and want to see what you do in the next months to tell them you're serious about attending their school. Just my opinion though. I don't know anything about EVMS specifically. Best of luck. I hope this letter turns into an acceptance!
