Hello everyone, I applied as an early decision candidate by the deadline, which was September 4th, 2018 and was interviewed on September 28th, 2018. The school said that they would release final decisions by October 17th, but 2 days ago I received an email saying that I was a "strong candidate", but the admissions committee decided to defer my decision and was placed on hold and that my application would be re-reviewed any time from now until April 1st.
This is super frustrating because I assumed I'd receive a yes or no by October 17th. Does anyone know the chances of acceptances or rejection after being placed on hold? They also specified that this is not the same as being waitlisted* I've looked around online and there were mixed feelings about whether this is better or worse than being on the waitlist.
I also started working at a pharmacy 2 months ago and had only two letters of recommendation (both from professors). If I were to get a 3rd one from a pharmacist at my workplace, how much would that help my chances, if at all, of getting an acceptance email/letter. Also has anyone else who applied heard back yet? It'd be great to know!
