<p>Yes, your application could be under review by the academic board. But that is only one part of the process. Being academically qualified is important/critical. However, you still need your medical and CFA qualifications. If you get all of these, you will be “triple Q’ed,” which is necessary for an appointment.</p>
<p>You will be notified if you’re found qualified academically.</p>
<p>Even when you have that, you still need your appointment. While a small number will receive appointments before the end of the year, the overwhelming majority will not. This is b/c the MOC’s noms aren’t typically submitted until December or January. </p>
<p>Thus, even highly qualified candidates often don’t hear until well after January. So, don’t panic if time goes by and nothing happens. It’s normal. Tough, we know. But normal.</p>
