Some schools have an online application. And, then after submitting, let you go back to that online application and log in and can see a different status on the decision, such as 'submitted' to show things are all in paperwork wise, then like one of mine now says 'awaiting application decision' to say they are still thinking and at some point it will chance to 'decision made' and then show admitted or rejected.
Overall, some schools let you log into your electronic app and can see updates and then this is where they will say their decision.
