hveitch4 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hello everyone, I interviewed last year and was not accepted. Last week I got an email that put my application on hold. Usually the hold status is not a good sign so I was wondering if anyone got interview invites yet or got the same hold status email as I did? Thanks in advance for your help.

david89 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 i thought western don't start sending out invites after the deadline for supplemental application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david89 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 when did you submitted your supplemental application if i may ask? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hveitch4 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sure no problem..I submitted my supplemental on August 16th and recieved the hold status of my application on Sep 7th. Last year I had an interview November 11th so that is before the Dec 1st supplemental deadline. I am just wondering if there are people out there who have gotten interview invites or this hold status i received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david89 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 oo...i plan on submitting my supplemental sometime this week. but i hope this "hold status" means they're holding an interview for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaaldana Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, I think it may mean they are holding a spot for you on the interview list. :) Let us know what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanana Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I also was put on hold - Its good to know we're not alone! But it doesn't sound like its necessarily a bad thing, which is a relief. Hopefully I'll be seeing you at an interview date in the future :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hveitch4 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ya who knows what the hold status means..last year I received an interview invite around 10/6. So we will see as the month goes on. But the email said specifically "we cannot guarantee that you will be granted an interview, but you are still being considered"...fingers crossed though for an invite still!

gctouro Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Were any of you guys placed on the hold list last year when you were interviewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hveitch4 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 No..last year after my application was complete I just recieved an interview invite in early October. I know after your interview you are placed in an accpeted, alternate, hold, or rejected pile. Hold status after an interview means they would have to get through all their alternates before accepting the people on hold. But in this case until people start getting interview offers we will not know exactly what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4me Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Did you have pre-reqs in progress? Maybe they are waiting to see what the rest of the applicant pool looks like once others submit supplementals? Perhaps you are on "hold" in case they don't see anything else they like, then they will take you in for an interview? There is most likely "something" they are having reservations about with your application, but hopefully they look past it and interview ya already! (: That's my GUESS! Best wishes as you await the clarification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gctouro Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I just received an email from western asking me to answer the following question: Describe what you have done in the past year to enhance your application to Western University’s Physician Assistant program.

millo10 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I also interviewed last year and was put on the hold list, but that was after my interview. Sounds like the interview process has changed a bit. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW82 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just submitted my supplemental app last week (Sept. 23). Do you think I am relatively late and will be toward the back of the review process. I was waiting on a teacher for the supplemental letter of recommendation but was invited to Midwestern AZ for an interview so I procrastinated pushing my Western app in because I was overly confident I would get in and would go. I got a slice of humble pie and was notified I was on the "alternate list" which at that school is the same as the rejection list since anyone not accepted is places on that list. Are there many people who interview at Western before the new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoahitzmike Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I received an email on 9/29 stating my application was put on "hold." As per the email states, "the Admissions Committee is currently considering applicants for interview with an overall, prerequisite, and science GPAs of 3.00 and higher at the time of application"--I suppose this is due to my not so stellar science GPA, though I do have courses in progress which will hopefully raise that up a bit. At this point, just have to see what happens. This is my first time applying to this school btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quan411 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 So I thought that they wouldn't inform anyone of anything until Feb. Is that still the standard or have they changed their practices? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hveitch4 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am suprised everyone is getting these hold emails. Are there applicants out there who have not heard anything or know when interview invites will be given out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethegreat Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I haven't heard anything. I looked online to see if they received my secondary and they had, but no word at all. How long after submitting your secondaries did you hear from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaaldana Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah I'm in the same boat, katethegreat. They have received everything since late August/early September and I still have not heard from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola1414 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I haven't heard anything either. I submitted everything early August and was told they don't send out interview invites until after the application deadline. I'm not sure if this is the CASPA deadline or secondary application deadline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
