NU Apps '11-'12 - Good Luck Hold Candidates!!!! <3 Forum

[46nyc]

Also held, K-JD. It's kind of hard to force myself to spend the money on a $300+ plane ticket to interview when the chances of getting off this hold-list are probably tiny.

And, FWIW a "hold" is such a non-decision decision. Holds suck.

Totally agree. I got held at NYU in December and this was my first "decision" of the cycle. Maybe you could send them a nice LOCI with some additional reasons for wanting to go to NU?

Eh, I have UVA. UVA will cost me less money factoring in COL.

[boalthopeful]

held.

[amc987]

Got my email, which led me to the decision letter site, which led me to see that I am HELD.

Ugh, Northwestern. I thought my off-campus interview had gone well too. Damn. I guess you can't win them all.

I feel the same way but I thought hey might as well see chicago while I'm at it? But really, it would be a waste of 300$ to go do an interview that probably won't help us. Blah

I'll join you with Penn, Northwestern, and Cornell (and waitlists at UVA and Vandy).

[Real Madrid]

Also held.

Well, I guess it's better than a rejection.

[Smumps]

With the quality numbers being held, I'm assuming WL or outright ding this week. Oh well.

When did you guys who are getting held apply?

[pdftlvson]

Held. I applied whatever day the application came out (early september). I didn't do an interview either since I wasn't even planning on applying until they sent the fee waiver.

[Samara]

K-JDs could always try offering to defer.

September, interviewed in November. Met the ed deadline, but was rd.

[PopTorts13]

EDIT: HOLD... wtf. Damn ladies and gents, damn.

[cactuarX3]

Waitlisted... wtf. Damn ladies and gents, damn.

Total YP

Same here. Held today and I thought my off-campus interview went great.

Really good point. Thank you. Also going to write those essays from the Hold FAQs. I'm actually excited to write about those questions.

[dkpianoman]

Held :/

This is unreal to me given your numbers. I'm sorry.

On the bright side, I bet you have a ton of other awesome schools.

[Kring345]

Held. Fairly devastated. Would likely attend over entirely free (plus 10k scholly) at Michigan.

My application screams "work experience."

Thanks for the support. I've applied to 10 and have heard back from IU-B: Accepted, NU: Waitlisted, and Duke PT: Priority Reserve.
I've been surprised about a couple of the decisions but I have optimism that one of these top schools will bite.

Best of luck too with your cycle!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO KRING!! ): This makes me sad too!!! You should write a LOCI, it seems like some of the holds are purely YP moves. If you told them about your preference for NU > Mich, that would help I think!!!

This is such a crazy day. Since I didn't get held today, I wonder if I am going to get straight dinged in the next few weeks.
