[MoonQuail]

Complete July 14th. I included a screenshot of my status. So I think I am not on hold? But I am confused if I am "under review" or just complete and "ready for review"?

You’re “complete” so I would assume you haven’t been reviewed yet! This is what my portal looked like until I got my hold status

Oh okay, thank you! It's just strange to see that my application has not been reviewed when people who submitted after me already have been reviewed and are on hold. Confusing haha

Depends on who is assigned your application. They also don't necessarily review based on time of submission.

what does on hold mean? like you’re in line for an interview?

 

[washhyyy]

what does on hold mean? like you’re in line for an interview?

It means they reviewed your file and do not want to interview you at this time. They put the file back in the pile and re review it at a later date to decide if they want to interview you

Just double checking: these are the 2020-21 prompts and there is NO COVID-19 prompt?

correct, but I can assume that if you do need to address any impacts covid-19 has had on your activities you can do that in the first question (pretty sufficient character limit)

 

[Tacocalifornia]

anyone else unable to access the secondary portal?

 

[deleted1055630]

Better question is has anyone gotten an II or R? Seems like the majority are on hold

 

[onelysosome]

Pretty sure everyone is just on hold. I think they just started reviewing apps but havn't made any decisions yet because they want to start sending II's later. I'm thinking probably due to COVID delays on everything (MCAT, transcripts, verification, etc)
