That's a relief. I wasn't expecting much anyway so late in the cycle but nice to know I would technically still be considered.
They should really spell that out clearly on that FAQ page. For all the trouble they go to explaining this extra step and the materials deadlines, they never actually state that 'pending,' is okay for their deadline.
They could argue that serious applicants would have had these items in already, and they would be right. Obviously, they (and us, the applicants) want everything submitted and finalized well before the deadline, but still... clearly write these things out for stressed-out premeds.
This finalize button nonsense is almost as bad as Ohio State's application system.
