<p>my app. status changed to "hold" today. what is that mean?</p>
<p>What was it before it changed?</p>
<p>it means that they will not give you an appointment. quit posting stupid questions in every forum</p>
<p>now hold on USMMA2009. Take it easy on the kid - he is anxious, interested and has probably worked hard to get this far. See Jamzmom's post on "hold" here: </p>
<p>at the end of the day, I think it means you are in the hunt. just hang in there. In response to your other post about visiting - absolutely, go visit the campus and make a positive impression.</p>
<p>(Was '09 a Drill Instructor? ;) ).</p>
<p>Hold, I think, could be for a bunch of reasons -- congressional paperwork and/or Dodmerb (your physicals) wandering it's way through the labyrinthine corridors of both government AND college admissions. Other stuff too. Pace yourself, young Jedi!</p>
<p>I think a LOT of speculation can go on... But in the end,
1) pick up the phone
2) ask admissions what it means. (Besides, it will show them that you have the initiative to talk directly with them. YOU call .. not anybody else finding out FOR you [not Mommy or Daddy] ). </p>
<p>They have been amazingly helpful at explaining details. (and post your findings to help the other folks too). Good luck to you.</p>

<p>PS. Like all the other service academies, you WILL be issued Cranky Pills. THere will also be supplements for _itching and Moaning. My S is particularly adept and posting Scowling and Frowning photos too.</p>
