Thank you so much and I’ve been having a hard time figuring out how these schools consider “adjustment of status” applicants. I don’t have my permanent residency yet, but I have completed the application process and will get a response before the cycle ends.

It may be an issue at some schools so you should contact each school and see what their policy is.
