8/10Congrats, when were you complete?
yep, mine says "Runtime error"Is the applicant portal not working for anyone else?
yup!At the interviews here, are the only things the interviewer can see the pre-interview questions (the two short essay and three most meaningful activity questions)? Is the rest of your application blinded to the interviewers?
Yep! On the portalDo they accept update letters?
Got it too! I am just taking it as we have been reviewed and haven't been rejected but can still receive an II! Honestly I thought it was nice to receive some information.Just received an email that "review of my application is ongoing". I was complete in early July. So I guess that is like a hold??
me too... guess it is better than a rejectionJust received an email that "review of my application is ongoing". I was complete in early July. So I guess that is like a hold??
+1Just received an email that "review of my application is ongoing". I was complete in early July. So I guess that is like a hold??
+6 also received this under review email. It's possible that our apps have been looked over already and are some sort of hold. It's also possible that our apps simply have not been reviewed yet. Few schools seem to review in chronological order of submission. Either way, it seems like we'll know sometime at the end of January.Just received application still under review email...does anyone know if this is a hold?
So what does it mean if you didn't receive that email? Does that mean you haven't been reviewed? I know we don't have real answers and more just speculationLooking at the thread last year it doesn't look like its a hold, some people who got it got an interview some people who got it didn't get an interview. Apparently two years ago they sent out an email saying specifically you are on hold, so this doesn't look like to be the hold email.
probably depends on complete date (all speculation of course) when were you complete?So what does it mean if you didn't receive that email? Does that mean you haven't been reviewed? I know we don't have real answers and more just speculation
Guess they forgot about us. LolComplete 7/12. No email.

Complete in late September (09/23) and received the email...maybe they haven't read my app yet?
also got the email, submitted in august. Last years thread looks like some people got an interview a week or two after they received the email so there is hope 🙂Based on what I read from the past year's thread, I also think silence is better than hold/application under review...
Yup they absolutely do! I made mine a letter of interest as well, and I think it definitely helped. I sent it last Wednesday and got an email on Sunday morning acknowledging receipt. 30 minutes later I got an II. 🤩Do they accept update letters?
By sent it in you mean put it on the portal right? I uploaded mine and didn’t get any acknowledgementYup they absolutely do!

+1 (Complete 8/7)Complete since August and no communication since complete email. Didn't receive the still under review email either.
I uploaded mine in the portal a week ago and didn't get any acknowledgement. Maybe they respond if its done via email or somethingBy sent it in you mean put it on the portal right? I uploaded mine and didn’t get any acknowledgement
but they dont want that I thoughtI uploaded mine in the portal a week ago and didn't get any acknowledgement. Maybe they respond if its done via email or something
I uploaded to the portal and sent a copy to the admissions email as well.By sent it in you mean put it on the portal right? I uploaded mine and didn’t get any acknowledgement
I'd lean towards this as well haha. Imo it'd be kinda whack to send an email to those who are about to get rejected that "we haven't forgotten about you and you're still in the system," no?Honestly just seems like a nice email to let people know they're still in the system, I wouldn't read much into it. I got it complete sometime in July
