Application Status--The most Stressful!

[literaryhopeful]

Hi all,

 

So for the past few months, most of my applications have been stating "Under Review." However, upon looking this morning, one college's status has changed to "Reviewed." Now I know this info means, yes, the committee has reviewed the material, but how long now until I get the email letting me know of the final decision??

 

This is killing me. And mind you this status update is for the school I most want to attend!

 

What status updates are annoying to you?

 

 

 

 

Applied: 12

Denied: 5

Accepted: 1 (without funding)

Waitlisted: 1

Waiting on decision: 5

"Decision made. You will be notified within a day."

I have "returned to department" or some variant on about two or so of my apps. I wish the statuses were clearer. That tells me nothing. Even when I called to ask about it, one gave me a roundabout answer.

 

One of my apps says "INCOMPLETE" in scary red letters, even though the checklist has everything as having been received and someone from the office told me they have everything.

"At this time your application status is “in department” meaning it is under review. "  My status has said that since I applied back in November!

"Your decision will be found here when it is available."

 

Ughhhh just tell me anything so I can make a decision and not feel bad about making one too early and just be done already jeeeeeeez

Not for application status, but on the funding page "check back in two weeks". Haha that message went up almost 3 weeks ago cool thanks great whee

"Submitted"

Mine's been totally blank since I submitted my app (apparently normal for this university).

"Decision made. You will be notified within a day."

At least they are kind enough to let your know "within a day."

[literaryhopeful]

"At this time your application status is “in department” meaning it is under review. "  My status has said that since I applied back in November!

That is exactly how most of my applications read, until today, when one status changed to "Reviewed." Now, more confused than ever. And I have been checking my email every five minutes...sigh!

For a program that rejected me (by email) their website still says "Awaiting Program Decision." Lies! There are lies on the internet.

I don't think they always update online status because I was accepted to UofT last week and my status still says "under review"

[starofdawn]

My application with UC Irvine was "under review", then it changed to "being reviewed" a week later (how are they different?!), and it's been under "being reviewed" since late January.

 

On the flip side, UC Davis's website didn't tell me anything (other than "you materials have been received") until today - when it says it's being reviewed! Wait - is it actually being reviewed?

[themmases]

"Application Materials Received - Please await further updates"

 

This from a school that according to the internet has left people a'waiting until April.

"Under Review" T^T, I've been under review for 2 - 3 months already and I got two programs, 2 level rankings lower, already and I submitted them 2 months AFTER it. #fml

I checked both schools I interviewed with and both of them told me nothing! One said that my decision was available, but it just brought me to the interview acceptance page (I should have known when the date available was 1/02/14). The other one said that my application was being reviewed by the admissions committee. This is driving me insane! *cries*
