Mine says this as well, but it was completed on December 7th...feels like an odd discrepancy

I submitted all of mine for every school on December 1st, so maybe they just wanted to toss it into the pile as soon as possible ? arden 1

I'm going to be a total hypocrite, but this makes me think all the more that we should try not to read into it, then! Especially if Brown typically sends out decisions in March, which is what I've gathered from the results page...maybe the later date on mine just indicates there being a lag due to volume this year? Wishing you all the best with this and all of your apps ?

Wishing you all the best with this and all of your apps ? I think so too! I am a nervous first time applicant too, and this definitely is getting worse because I haven't heard back from anywhere yet. They're probably just as overwhelmed as we are anxious. Wishing you luck as well! arden 1

It took them like three weeks to accept my application. They have only have one or two people handling people who request to join, so it takes a while. On Rutgers: someone said that portals have been updated, and to check there.

Boomer not Ok Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 On Rutgers Camden, my portal says "no decision." But since I never got called for an interview, I think I'm out. I do not know for sure, but I suspect if they call you, you are on their short list and so you'll either get an offer or waitlist. On the other hand, I am not sure of their funding situation (I think someone indicated they got a partial-funded offer), so things may be different this year, because it's likely people who make their shortlist will also probably get fully-funded offers from other programs, so Rutgers may be doing it differently this time. Wish I could be more helpful. Ash... 1

arden Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried to look for the answer on Draft as well, but do we know how many schools/which ones require interviews first..? Is it a standard practice for most of them, or does it vary quite a lot? aa2427 1

(I'm a first-time applicant so I'm very sorry if this is a big-time newbie question!) Mine says submitted still, but underneath the "View Checklist" button, it lists my application status as "complete" as of 02/11/2021...there's no other update, but I'm just wondering how much I should be losing my mind right now or if this is a standard thing? Huh, mine says completed 2/15. Which is new. (I think it previously said something like "successfully submitted 12/11" or whenever it was.) So perhaps they are wrapping things up? Best not to overanalyze... Edited February 17, 2021 by Downtozero Lol never mind guys I need to go to bed, mine says completed 12/15. I stg that was a 2 when I looked at it a minute ago

Definitely a little scary to me that mine was completed before apps were even due. I hope thats just a flaw of the system and not a revelation that mine was tossed out immediately ?

It could be, though admittedly I'd be confused if mine were only just officially in since I / my recommenders sent them all in by December 11...but, it could just all take a while to process / to be reflected in the portal! Sorry if I contributed to anyone else's overthinking... ? I just wish I could fast forward to April so I'd at least know. I knew this was going to be hard, but dang...
