Have all of you who have received these letters been Hold people? Just want to verify that no Reserve people have received a request for a LOCI.

Well the e-mail also said they'd make every effort to get back to us by the date on our hold letters, which (the hold letter thing aside) wouldn't make sense to say to Reserve people, since that date was in April.

You mean the date for your letters, right? I thought the Reserve applicants are re-reviewed in late May. No?

Right, the date in the hold letters.

sent in a pdf version of my LOCI last night after having sent snail mail a couple weeks ago with no acknowledgment. got email this mroning saying it was added to my file. email ftw...

complete 2/10, still pending, pessimistic

I wonder if we can infer something about the nature of the prospective student bodies from the fact that only Chi and CLS don't have humorous alt-titles today. Hm.

Held. Today. In April! Oh well, at least I'm still in the running.

How recently was the spelled-out CLS wordfilter enacted? I find it difficult to believe that nobody caught it for nearly a whole day.

Has any EDers heard about their holds yet?

Pretty recently, I think. I don't think it said "Colombia" here a few hours ago.

How did you receive your hold status? Was it snail mail or email? The admissions office emailed me yesterday morning to say that they'd mailed out my decision letter on March 31. I was expecting a solid accept/reject answer to be coming. If I open up the envelope only to find out that it's a hold, I might literally loose my mind!

Holds come by snail mail too. I don't know if they can call a hold a 'decision letter' though.

If it's an acceptance, the envelope will have 24K gold embroidery with an embossed wax seal. If it's a waitlist/hold, it will be silver with no seal. If it's a rejection, it will be a postcard soaked in urine.

LMAO good one

[cal27]

I got the same email from the admissions office. A few days later I got my hold letter.

That was pretty great.

Has any EDers heard about their holds yet?

I'm waiting too. I had a dream last night that I got in and I was happily trying to put that on LSN. However, a window kept popping up and saying "are you sure you don't mean rejected?" "are you sure you don't mean waitlisted?" It was really sad.

Look on the bright side, your dreams may come true How many people get to say that?

(I hope you get in, actually)

Thanks, Jeric/Larry (I sometimes hear your posts in his voice). I really hope you get in, too! Your UCLA offer is pretty darn awesome, so you're pretty much set either way.

[hannah87]
