If I'm not mistaken, everyone who has a delayed decision has a hold right now. The letter said something like committee has decided to delay your decision and put you on hold

I see. My letter specifically said hold and nothing about delayed decision, so I wasn't sure if there was a difference (even though they're essentially saying the same thing)

Mine said nothing about a hold. When I called and talked to admissions, they were adamant that the delayed decision is NOT a hold. And that the committee simply has not made a decision on my file quite yet. Hope this helps!

Interviewed 2/16, delayed decision.

Does anyone have insight regarding the likely hood of acceptance vs waitlist vs rejection at this point?

II today for March 30th! I was about ready to give up hope on this one, but it looks like I too will have the chance to snag a delayed decision ;)

To be serious, though, I'm really excited to interview there. I'm reading up on their interview process - anyone feeling generous and have tips? How much of your interview focused on your app, and how much was composed of more general questions?

pcom is going crazy with the delayed decisions this year.
There is a seat deposit due April 1st. So I am assuming some of you should hear in mid April once they figure out the numbers.

Has anyone received a rejection post-interview? Might be a dumb question, but it seems that we have only been hearing of acceptances and (most recently), delayed decisions.

Hey guys! So I interviewed feb15 and just got a delayed decision letter. Have they been accepting ppl straight out since this time or is delayed decision like as good as it gets at this point ?

Received a waitlist letter today. Should I send a letter of intent? Are they responsive to those? I would love to go here.

So, a couple people have posted here about having received an acceptance since Jan 9th interview. but it seems like pretty much everyone else since then has gotten a delayed decision. I don't know if they have rejected anyone since the Jan 9th interview or they are just giving everyone delayed decisions. I've read that in the past, a lot of people with delayed decisions go onto being on the waitlist.....

I interviewed the same day! I am beginning to wonder if after a certain date they put everyone in the "delayed decision" or "waitlist" category until they have a better idea of their numbers? Looking at last year's PCOM thread and someone posted on 3/23/16 "So looking at last year's forum (2014-15) it seems that a lot of folks that interviewed in the January/February/March timeframe received "Delayed Decisions" - of those numerous individuals received acceptances and some got put on the waitlist. I did not see any that received a rejection but I did not look that closely. So there is still hope." Keep the hope :) it will all be based on the numbers this year. Fingers crossed!

accepted students - other than pay the deposits, is there anything else we should have done yet?

Do you have access to Nucleus yet? If so, get on your Medical Health Questionnaire, as well as complete your PCOM's Scholarship Application!
