Does anyone know if we weren't accepted today, or if our application will be reviewed again for possible acceptance in the future acceptance days?

I believe they put you on the waitlist closer to March if you still haven't gotten an offer on one of those days. Sad day yesterday :(

What does it mean to be placed on hold pending a potential future offer of admission on October 16, December 16 and February 2? I interviewed on October 16.

It means you could be accepted on those 2 future dates, which are their next acceptance dates.

Wait what I thought it was today? The admissions hold email said that. But on instagram they said Feb 1. This is so stressful

I’m honestly not sure. I interviewed last week and I didn’t get an email today, but my VCU portal now says I’m on hold.

might be a dumb question but does anyone know if they only send offers on the offer dates or did they waitlist/reject interviewed applicants on those dates as well? And is there still a chance for people who got put on hold or should we just be waiting for a waitlist at this point :/

either a Accept or waitlist in March, but seeing as they filled out the seats, it's an uphill battle unless u interviewed recently.

How do you know they filled the seats??

Sry for confusion, I meant that they alr relased acceptances, so there are fewer spots to hand out,

Does anyone know if being “on hold” with one release date left means waitlist/ soft R? Not really sure what this means post-interview.

Yeah I have the same question. I interviewed last week (Tuesday) and got the hold email today. It seems silly that the info in the email details that I can get either accepted, waitlisted, or rejected on March 16th (which I was expecting anyway because my interview was after the second to last decision date???).

If you have been put on hold and your interview date was AFTER the last decision date, this is NOT a soft R/WL.

Anyone accepted from any of those interview dates must be put on hold before acceptance, so it's basically uninformative.

Does anyone know if they accept update letters or LOIs? It sounds like no but curious if anyone has any insights

I ended up calling them to ask if they accepted them post interview. They said yes to update letters. They didn’t say yes nor no to LOIs so I ended up sending an update letter with a statement of intent at the end. They told me to upload to the portal!
