2 II 5 rejections. My rejections came in batches... one day I got two within an hour, another day a few weeks ago I had 3 all in one morning. Haven't heard anything from anyone in a few weeks. I really wish my rejections were spaced out... several in one day is too much to take in this early in the cycle

Try 5 rejections and no II yet 🙁
 
Applied to 25 total schools.2 pre-interview rejections, 1 post-interview rejection, 1+ holds (only checked for one school, I'm assuming more), 11 II's, ? silent rejections.

No rejections. Two II's. Every other school as has been silent as can be. I hate the silence sooooo much.

LizzyM 73, applied to 15 lower-mid tier medical schools.
 
Picked up my first rejection of the season just now! I have subsequently labeled all of Pritzker's emails with a "LAME" tag in my gmail inbox. (just kidding its a great school and I am happy for all of you who will be going there)
 
1 rejection and 5 IIs. No holds so far. All the IIs were in August but it's been pretty silent the past few weeks for me. Makes you think "maybe they like me... wait hold on maybe not."
 
No rejections (which I'm surprised about after reading this thread)
9 II
1 almost guaranteed II (They only send secondaries to people they will invite to interview, and I got one)
and 9 silences (at least half of which are probably silent rejections I would imagine)

Can't complain
 
How do you find out where you have a hold? Do you actually have to login to each portal to check?
 
Technically one but it was because they thought I was missing something, and after emailing them, they realized I had it and brought me back into consideration.

So zero. But no interviews either. 🙁
 
Sorry if I came off as complaining, I know I just happened to get really lucky early in the cycle. But I also submitted early so I'm sure all of y'alls IIs are coming up soon. We are all gonna get rejections as well, it's just a part of the process. Definitely not upset, even if my 11 silences all turn out to be silent rejections (which most of them probably are for me at this point because of how early I submitted).

It depends upon the school. Some schools (for example, Albany Medical College) will email you and tell you that you are on hold. Other schools (for example, New York Medical College) will not tell you that you are on hold, and you will only find out if you check your portal.

Thanks. Can you also explain precisely what "on hold" means? My understanding is that it's like a waitlist for IIs.

It's alright, I know silence is frustrating. Besides, a few minutes after I posted that I got my second II. So now I'm a hypocrite lol.

I'm assuming we're both talking about the "on hold" that happens after your application has been marked complete, but before you have been given an interview. This generally means that they read your application and didn't decide to interview you when they first read it, but didn't decide to reject you either. In this case, they hold onto your application for a while longer. What they do with it varies by school. Some will continuously review it throughout the cycle. Some won't re-review it until they have reviewed all the other applications for the first time.
 
1 hold, 2 II, 0 rejections and 17 schools playing the quiet game.
 
Got my first rejection today. Also have one hold.
 
1 rejection from Rosalind Franklin complete 7/27 and rejected 9/14
2 holds GW (complete 7/15 hold 8/5) and AZ Tucson (complete 7/27 hold 9/15)

7 II and still waiting to hear back from 23/33 schools
 
1 rejection (from an OOS public school).
3 II's.
0 holds.
24 remaining possibilities. 😀
 
1 post-secondary rejection (Rosy Franklin)
1 pre-secondary rejection (U Washington -- I'm OOS, shouldn't have applied)
2 holds (Albany and GW)
3 DO IIs, 0 MD IIs (this is beginning to worry me)
Way too many silences
 
2 rejections, 4 MD II (IS), silence from all DO (WHY?)
 
Can't get rejected if you're not complete! Winning!

(I'm kidding......f%$ damn LOR writers taking their sweet time as if the words "rolling admissions" don't mean a thing. I've been "complete" in every other sense of the word since August. Ahhh!).
