Hold Vs. Waitlist

[dirtydawg]

So I Just Found Out I Was Placed On Hold At Two Places. Is This The Same As Being Waitlisted? I Interviewed Already At These Places. It Sounds Like They Can't Make Up Their Mind About Me!

Welcome to the club! I was put on "hold" by two schools, but it was before any interviews. So, I don't know if it is the same thing or not. Luckily I got accepted by the school I wanted to got too the most! Hope things work out for ya.

If you were put on hold after you were interviewed, that pretty much sounds like a waitlist position to me.

Call and ask. It sounds like a waitlist, but the only way to tell for sure is to ask them exactly what that means.

i've heard of schools putting applicants on accept hold post-interview because of things like missing pre-reqs or credit insufficiencies, things like that. usually it can be addressed, you should call and find out exactly what it means.
