held at Columbia. is this the slow no? A hold guarantees that they'll at least look at your application again. A waitlist doesn't and Columbia has waitlisted a bunch of people already, so ... there's hope yet. P.S. How did you find out? And when did you apply? A hold is different from the reserve list, right? Reserve is waitlisted, and that means they may not look at your application again...
