Or it could be that we are separated arbitrarily into lists and every time someone on a list gets updated, everyone's gets updated. We do know that each panelist reviews 20 applications so it could be clustered that way. That could either mean denied in a first round or denied in later rounds. It could mean one person on the list was accepted and 19 others on that list denied. It could mean one person on the list made it through to the next round but everyone's date is updated. It could mean your reviewer is slow and the last time your date was updated was when they accessed the applications they're reviewing, hence, an early date. It could mean they submitted their evaluated applications through an alternative means (emailed excel sheet vs. portal) so applications either got updated or not and the internal admin are pulling results from multiple medias. Or we could all be denied, we just don't know how it's working. But I have hope for everyone. We're likely all competitive applicants unless you applied on a whim and didn't put in much effort into your app. What I'm trying to say is it would be great to crack the code once we have the results, but no use in speculating for now. I know it hasn't helped my anxiety, that's for sure.
