I just called this morning. They are "no longer giving out application status' over the phone. You will receive an email and/or letter in the mail shortly." When I asked how much longer she said, "not too much longer. Orientation is in a few weeks".
Sigh...
I have the same question as above but more specifically was there always a green checkmark?
I was told that something would update on the "my applications" page.
I sent my application in on the deadline date of 3/1/13.
I called two weeks ago and they told me my application was with the review panel and that it would be up to two weeks.
So I called again today and was told that I should know by next Friday.
le sigh.... trying to be patient.
