Application status

[Chrisalyne]

I applied to two schools in January. One of the schools is the same place as in getting my undergraduate degree. It's nerve racking because I don't know who is on the selection committee but seeing all the professors in the department everyday is pretty overwhelming to say the least because I know they know. Lol. 

Anyway, both my applications were sent in online. I'm just curious if the status section of the application will display if I'm admitted or not way before I even get a letter/phone call? I have been stalking my online applications and I'm just curious if they'll update their decision on there before they send out letters. Any ideas?

I am applying this year as well.  From what I can see so far, with two admits, it seems that the application status is not a very good representation of acceptance or not, as the two schools I've gotten into so far have sent out informal acceptances, and the application status has not changed online.

It seems to be a relatively informal process at this point in the game.

Well, darn! I should probably stop obsessing over it then. I think most schools in the geology field (assuming) won't come to a decision until around march. Congratulations on your two admits thus far!
