Short hand information:
I applied to UK, UL, UF, NOVA, LECOM, UAB, and GRU.
I've filled out supplementary applications for NOVA, LECOM, UAB, and GRU and paid my processing fees to UK and UL.
I am "under review" by UK, UF, and GRU.

UF simply has my application under review on my AADSAS application with no fee or supplementary requested. Which worries me as a Florida resident. Is that normal? Another thing I find weird is that UL has my application as completed yet I haven't had a supplementary requested or interview or been rejected? How is that? I've filled out supplementary applications for LECOM, NOVA, and UAB but there is not a "decision" posted under my AADSAS application yet. Good, bad, or don't sweat it?

Below are only the schools that I have a "school decision" for under my AADSAS application. I am beginning to worry and over think the statuses posted so if anyone has clarification as to what a complete application means with no invite for interview or rejection please let me know! Also, is it normal for schools to take a gosh awful long time to "review" the applications? Are my statistics even competitive enough to continue to pay all these fees to get into at least one of the schools? Everyone else seems to hear back in such a short amount of time! I'm such a worry wart, my apologies!

School(s): UF / UK / GRU / UL
Notification date: 7.16 / 7.21 / 7.30 / 7.28
Method of notification: Email
Residency: Florida
AADSAS mail-out date: 7/16/14
Application complete date: 7/28/14
GPA (science, overall): 3.64 gpa, 3.62 gpa
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 19AA, 18TS, 25PAT, 24RC, none but my GC and OC were 17's.
 
Don't read into portal statuses too much, they may have a different meaning depending on the school in question. Always go first by official communication (email/phone/school portal) then by AADSAS portal. Also, not all schools utilize portal statuses effectively and some may not change for the entire cycle. If you are "under review", the next status update would be "invited for interview" if you do receive an interview.

1. Received/Under Review
2. Received/Waiting Additional Info
3. Received/Application Complete
4. Application Denied
5. Invited for Interview
6. Withdrew Before Action
7. Offer Made
8. Wait Listed
9. Offer Accepted
10. Offer Declined
11. Offer Rescinded by School
12. Applicant Matriculated (typically reported at end of application cycle)
13. Withdrew after Matriculation (typically reported at end of application cycle)
