What does this mean?

[chapinsita]

So I get a postcard last week from George Washington. I figured it was just a "application completed" notice, but today when I actually went to read it, it says:

"You application has been reviewed. We have placed you on hold and will notify you immediately if your status changes."

Huh? So does this mean that I am on "hold for an interview" or they just decided to continue reviewing me at a later date? Has anyone else gotten this?

I think it means "We'll interview you only if we don't like the rest of the applications in our pile, but you're good enough that we aren't ready to reject you quite yet."

Good luck -

Thanks doepug,

Basically, I should just think of this as a prolongued rejection. My first one. Oh-well. Next.

Hold merely means they aren't ready to deciede about your application yet. My friend was put on hold for 10 weeks and then offered an interview which lead to an acceptance. It is not a kiss of death. It is not a rejection either. I would contact them in 8-10 weeks if they haven't contacted you and ask about an interview. that is what my friend did.
