posting this on SDN too but figured i’d ask here; what schools actually pull students from the pre-II waitlists/holds/deferrals? i’m going crazy over reading that at many schools these are considered “soft Rs” my brother in Christ what is a soft rejection. Just reject me already just say u hate me 💔🥀 truly i do not understand the point of them i’m on the verge of crashing out. at this point i’ve gotten 4 of these. i know it’s nearing Thanksgiving, so should i interpret the holds as that i submitted too late, or that i’m just not good enough??

sorry for sounding like a broken record on here. You all are amazing.
