Confused by Admission Status Check

Today my daughter was checking her admission status online and saw that she was at Step 4 - Communicate Admission Decision, saying that a letter was mailed today. There’s no step 5 - accept admission decision, or whatever. A peculiar thing was that she’d only applied for 1 major (biomedical engineering), no 2nd choice. But suddenly today, the online form shows General Studies as 1st choice and Biomedical Engineering as 2nd. This was confusing to us; she called the admissions office thinking they’d just tell her the decision over the phone. They wouldn’t. She asked them if she should assume that she wasn’t admitted, since there was no step 5. The lady told her no, she shouldn’t assume that and that sometimes it takes a while for the site to be updated completely. This doesn’t sound right to us, and my daughter is sure that she’s been denied.

Can anyone here explain this to us? We’d thought that regardless of the decision, she’d just be able to see it online.

Thanks!
