I did peruse the forums and did not find a post on this topic.
I applied to four programs rather late in the application period and just got a letter back from Johns Hopkins informing me that my application had been placed in a "hold" category.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what the chances of acceptance from a hold would be? Furthermore, should I follow-up with a letter? Nothing substantial has changed in my situation, but I do want to express that I am very interested in the program.
My stats are fairly solid (I think); I graduated from a Seven Sisters college with a 3.8, I have great letters of rec from people who know me, my SAT/ACT scores were 1370/31 which I was assured were at least competitive if not exemplary.
Do I even stand a chance?
