Congrats! That's so exciting. May I ask what your portal status was prior to the offer? Thanks so much!

It said something like thanks for interviewing.

I totally misread the post, hence the edit.

Yes it is! Do you mind sharing your most recent portal status? I've been waiting a while too (not as long as you ) Good luck!

I had that status before the acceptance date. You should see a portal change tomorrow or this week if the trend continues. Hopefully an acceptance! Otherwise you'll get one similar to mine.

To the best of my knowledge, I believe this means your application is being reviewed by the selection committee, post interview.

I'm fairly confident that it means the committee hasn't convened on your application yet. Guessing tomorrow may or may not be the big day for us

So just to clarify, you had that status before you got accepted?

That's correct. I have the same status. When I called the office to ask about it earlier this month (since I was told I should hear on 2/15), they said that my application had not been discussed by the selection committee yet.

Here's hoping for some good news for us...

If you don't mind me asking! Dang, I'm anxious as all hell.

Early January! Early March my portal changed to the "file completed review" status. Not sure what it all means, but hoping for the best! Hbu?

If it helps, last year I got called after 9 PM-- so they can call late! Some even hear the next day too if they have too many.

Do you get an email or letter indicating you're waitlisted? Or do you just assume if your portal changes to the waitlist thing?
