<p>okay so I have applied to temple university. My application was started on october 29th and is was completed roughly around november 21st. the TUportal reads </p>
<p>Application Staus: Complete & Ready for Review
Decision: Hold</p>
<p>What's up? Does this mean i've been placed on some sort of wait list or is it that they are simply "holding" my application, meaning they haven't finished looking at it yet?</p>
<p>Anyone else get this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My daughter’s status also says hold. I contacted admissions and they suggested that we have her first quarter grades sent. We did that a couple of weeks ago and it is still on hold. She had no grade below a 92 in the first quarter by the way.</p>
<p>This happened to my daughter last year. When we called they told us that some applications are put on “Hold” and they keep reviewing them with all the other applications that come in. It isn’t being wait-listed, basically they are just holding off on making a decision right now. </p>
<p>My daughter applied around the same time you have, was put on “Hold” and was accepted in the beginning of January.</p>
<p>This is the response from admissions when I sent them an email about the hold status.</p>
<p>Your application has been reviewed by our Admissions Committee, but we cannot make a decision at this time. All of our applicants on hold will receive a decision by April 1st. Since we will begin our review of hold applicants in February, please feel free to send updated grade and/or test information.</p>
