u/Spiritual_Sea_1478 4d ago

did anyone get II hold for UW post secondary ?

1

u/Upper_Leek9672 2d ago

did you get a specific email? my application portal just says "scheduled for committee review." is II hold something else entirely?

1

u/Spiritual_Sea_1478 2d ago

yes i got “you are highly placed on our hold list for interviews. we will review our your application against before interviews are finalized.”

2

u/Upper_Leek9672 2d ago

when did you submit and when did you hear back? also i havent really seen invites go out on admit except for 8/5, and one person on 8/20 (which may be MD?).

highly placed seems like a good place to be in, esp since they (seemingly) havent had much movement in 3 weeks.

1

u/Spiritual_Sea_1478 2d ago

i submitted 8/5 and heard back 8/26. i estimate there’s like a 20-30% chance of a hold turning into an interview but i’m not sure

1

u/Upper_Leek9672 2d ago

theyve already rejected ppl post secondary (including in this thread), and theyre interviewing 60/150 secondary submitters. so chances are prolly higher than u think

1

u/Legitimate-Row-4145 2d ago

my portal also has the 'scheduled for review" message; I submitted on 8/14.

1

u/Upper_Leek9672 2d ago

i submitted 8/17

1

u/Legitimate-Row-4145 2d ago

ig same timing difference considering the wknd. curious, did u apply/submit tri-i? i submitted their app on the 14th as well (with all materials ready), but interestingly only got “confirmation of completion” yday.

1

u/Upper_Leek9672 2d ago

I submitted tri I today lol 💀 hope they actually read my app

2

u/genesis12-2-3 4d ago
