Sorry to burst the 12/7 theory bubble, but I was a 12/7er and got put on hold.

[killuminati]

I have a feeling that the 12/7s are the group that BC feels will be the most physically attractive.

I dig it.

On hold...for? Another LSAT score? How'd you find out about it...mail, e-mail?

[acecrusher06]

i am hold too...12/7

no lsat retake

[killuminati]

wait they're holding your app? Or you're deferred to regular admissions cycle?

[killuminati]

hmm i'm 12/7...so far there's been holds and acceptances from our group...any rejections?

[killuminati]

cunni and ace where are you guys located? I'm here in CA...did it come by mail?

[Pearalegal]

You know, theres always just the possibility that the date means that that was the day they made their decision. Or that thats the day they entered in your decision. Hell, maybe its even by alphabet.

As BC has a firm 12/15 date and all those numbers are grouped right before it...I wouldn't place money on the date of completion indicating any particular type of decision.

Thats what hold means. Its not like holding it hostage.

+1, yeah it's definitely just the date they stopped looking at your file.

what does hold mean?

is it usually a good sign?

[killuminati]

I was asking that because my friends apps have been placed on "hold" until their December scores are released, which is different from being deferred to the regular admissions cycle in February. That's why I asked the question, no need to be sarcastic.

It depends on the school, if by "hold" BC is referring to you being deferred to the regular admissions cycle it means they'll take another look at you. You should send in any additional information such as awards, jobs, accomplishments, community service, etc. in order to boost your chances, you can also write an LOCI and a Why BC letter. Good luck, sorry my prediction was off, I was just having fun.

what does this mean?

Current Status: Your application has been completed.
Current Status Date: 12/4/2009
Decision Status: Pending Decision
Decision Status Date: 11/26/2009

[killuminati]

They haven't made a decision or they haven't gotten to you yet, because right before my status changed and it was mailed the pending decision changed to 12/7/09.

[acecrusher06]

is hold the same thing as wait listed?

[Veritas]

is hold the same thing as wait listed?

no, it's like being deferred to the Regular pool.

WL means they are done with you unless they need you. Hold means they will for sure look at you again.

[acecrusher06]

so hold is better than wait listed?

[killuminati]

nice, just like Cornell for us buddy.

[killuminati]

so hold is better than wait listed?

I think so, I would love for them to take a second look at my app if I was placed on hold. I was deferred at Cornell so I will be sending them some extra stuff and recent accomplishments.

[puppleberry finn]

wtf. held? seriously?

[dakatz]

wtf. held? seriously?

Sorry to hear it. Again, at the very least, your application will be looked at again from scratch so you have time to add in a LOCI or a new rec to beef it up even more in the meantime. Mind sharing what date your decision is listed as in the status checker, or your stats?

I will probably not do anything to try and get in off of hold. my decision date was 12/9, my stats are way above median.
