Just a reminder/warning to everyone about status changes...

As we tiptoe closer to April 1st, I would just like to make an announcement.

In previous years, everyone’s status changed to the accepted status progression (they didn’t have “forwarded” before so it’s hard to explain) eventually, regardless of whether they were accepted or rejected. The reason they knew it meant that they were accepted was because for a lot of people it changed very early in the process (and rejections are the last to go out).

I would just like to remind everyone that some people who change from “forwarded” to “being reviewed” might NOT be accepted. I’m not trying to be mean or dash anyone’s hopes; in fact, I’m trying to do the opposite. I just want everyone to be prepared and not assume that “being reviewed” means they got accepted.

Remember, the best way to know is by checking the backdoor link:

If it doesn’t work, don’t assume anything… YET. As we know, sometimes links go down and sometimes links don’t work for people days after they’ve gotten an acceptance letter in the mail. The only way to know 100% is if you get the package in the mail.

With that said, good luck to everyone and fight on. :)
