The conditional offer from Cambridge just came through in the application portal. Thank you all for the encouragement and insights!

Would anyone be so kind and explain to me the following situation I find myself in: I've applied to the History PhD at Cambridge, sent my application by the funding deadline and haven't heard anything back from them. No personal email, no invitation for an interview, nothing. The only thing that I noticed maybe a week or two ago is that my status has changed to "Awaiting approval by GAO". Nothing else has happened since then. What should I make of this? I'm going crazy, please advise!
