Slansky wrote:The hold was because I am graduating really early and they want to see my grades for this quarter before they decide. So, it might be a special circumstance. It still makes me sad.
Edit: Yes, my profile numbers are accurate, lol. This forum's insistence that numbers are everything and softs don't matter might be misguided in some cases, it seems. (And I have ok softs, just nothing outrageous.)

Are the schools in your profile your complete list? With your #s, it seems you can get into some much better schools than USD/Loyola/Pepp.

I am starting to be afraid the same thing might happen to me. How many GPA hours were on your transcript from your degree granting university? Just wondering around what level they are convinced with your current level of performance.

The letter said something about my "stellar academic record". What else could be driving the invite? I got a double major from a top-tier UG, but I don't see that factoring. Maybe they think I'm more likely because I'm from the south.
i actually read somewhere that reputation of your college plays a factor in whether you get offered PT or not (assuming you did very well at that ug)
PT invites seem to go to people with high stats, but not TOO high... i.e. if you're over the 75th in both categories Duke doesn't seem to do the PT invite as often.
