<p>I emailed admissions today. To my surprise, they actually answered today. So, they truly must be doing everything they can. I had asked why my summary page didn’t say “Complete Ready for Review”. This is their response.</p>
<p>"Someone in our office has to “put the pieces together” to ready your file for review. We are only processing apps that were complete the first week of October, so it will still be a few weeks before you’ll see a change. Everything is here, including your recommendations. You probably won’t have a decision by 12/5, but it will be made available as soon as we have one.</p>
<p>We’re working as hard and as fast as we can. As of November 21, we have received 18,000+ applications."</p>
<p>I didn’t complete my app until 10/29 so I guess I will be waiting a while. Silly me, I thought all apps submitted by the 11/15 deadline would be reviewed and a decision rendered by 12/5.</p>
