Hey guys,

I just called KCOM and I was told that my file has been placed on hold for review later on in the cycle for an interview. From what I've read about other schools, when they put you on hold for an interview, its pretty much a rejection, does that sound right for KCOM?

Peace 🙂
 
That is sooo weird! I just called too and was told I was on hold for a possible interview later. Then I turned on the computer and got on SDN to read your post. That sucks, I hope it does not mean that I am rejected. The lady told me that they have already looked at my application but are just putting me on hold just in case they want to offer me an interview later. It makes sense that they will be interviewing until April or something so they will want to put some people on a "maybe if we dont get anything better" list. I hope this is the case! Good luck!
 
You both will probably be happy to hear that I will probably turn down their interview offer within the next few weeks, unless something very unusual and unforseen happens. Maybe it will increase your chances. 😀

I just withdrew my interviews and applications from KCOM, DMU and AZCOM today. Hopefully that'll help you guys out...all these interviews were scheduled for Dec.
