"on hold: from SIU IM - bazinga

WTF??????????? might as well be a rej..

We have reviewed your application to the internal medicine residency program
at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield, Illinois.
Your application has been placed "ON HOLD" which means it has been placed in a
neutral category of neither rejection or acceptance. Most likely nothing is
missing from your application, other than perhaps the arrival of your MSPE Nov
1st, or a STEP, or CSA score; these items will arrive in your ERAS file as you
complete them. YOUR FILE WILL BE REVIEWED AGAIN NEAR the end of the
application season, e.g., mid-December, and a final decision will be made at
that point.
Our applicant pool is very large and we are only able to offer interviews
to a small percentage of applicants; I anticipate that a small number of
applicants on HOLD will move into the "Accept for interview" category. Thank
you for your interest in our program.
Sincerely,
Cathy Brower
Program Coordinator
