Thanks for your responses! This is for a masters program. I reached out to the department about two weeks ago, checking and and asking if they had everything they needed for my application. They're response, which came very quickly, was that yes, they had everything they needed, and that my application was ready for committee review. So, at that point the implication was that applications had yet to be formally reviewed. I thanked them for their response and haven't had any updates since.
Thoughts?
