@Takei congrats ! Would you mind telling a bit about your background？ It may be helpful for us to guess the possibility of admission. Really appreciate it.

@luffyboy I have just obtained a Ph.D. in physics from a second tier US public school, research is focused on data analysis and modeling, passed CFA Level III exam, no related work experience.

Did you get an email or it's just stated on the website?

I got an email asking me to check my status change on the website. That moment I knew it won't be good news; otherwise, they should start with "Congratulations!" lol

I guess it's not true? I also got an email asking me to check my status, and when I logged in to the application page, I got a letter saying that I will be recommended to the Graduate Office for admission and asking me to accept or decline the offer. It's not the official admission letter though.

Still under review as well

Still under review

 

[cooldude]

Still nothing

 

[Albatross]

"On hold" probably means a seat on Spring 2020.

 

[catchemall]

Hold probably means reject. I think you are referring to "waitlist with guarantee"

Process must be still ongoing. I submitted my application quite late around 9th November and have just received the invite for interview for coming Friday.

Mind if I ask you is this the first interview or the second one?

 

[hak]

This is the first interview. I have not even given my GRE yet.

Well I sent my GRE score after due and they were totally down with that, so I don't think you should worry about that and good luck on your interview !

 

[hak]

@Qijun Thanks. And best of luck to you as well. I hope you get the admit decision soon.

My application status now shows a "conditions checklist" but does not say if it's a hold or accept or conditional admit. Any idea what it could be?
