Good luck for all of you having an interview as well.

Goodluck guys

Hey guys, those who got the interview, did you email mention about Pens and paper? I hope it’s not another proper interview.

 

[David Liu]

Yes, I believe it's only a automated message for instruction. From the tracker, you can see this interview was short and usually an verbal offer.

From my experience, when the interview is with Linda, it's most probably an admit call. No need for any pen and paper as such.

 

[Rohit Kaul]

Congrats guys for the interview call.

Got a Hold Status. It says currently i gotta complete a few items to be considered for admission (not guaranteed). I don't know how this works exactly though. Anyone has any info on how the HOLD status has worked historically? It would be really helpful. Thanks

 

[Jaicy]

Co ask, just got the Hold Status. Anyone knows what the Hold means? How long is the Hold list? Thanks.

Yep! Are you required to take precourses for hold?

Yep! Are you required to take precourses for hold?

I just mailed them asking for the same. They said they'll provide the list by monday. They also said I should enroll for their pre-program courses (as discount ends tomorrow). I'm wondering how to go about this. I'll obviously wait for monday for the entire list but to put in so much investment in terms of time and money for those courses and thereafter being uncertain about your admission is a huge risk to take by itself.

Oh! List is separate from the pre-program courses? Yeah the investment is big with uncertainty. Also, the hold status probability of admit is not known. I am confused as well. Haven't been communicated about the result, makes no sense to apply for pre course.

Just a quick reminder for everyone applying to add their timeline and status to the trackers so we can all the latest updates. It has helped tremendously to everyone involved.
