App Status Question

<p>So I've searched the forums with little luck on the question I'm about to ask.</p>

<p>My app has been in the "Awaiting Review" status since December 20th.</p>

<p>I'm wondering when most applications change to the status below, if it changes at all?</p>

<p>"We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made."</p>

<p>I'm just wondering if awaiting review means they haven't recieved all my materials... I've sent all required materials. The only thing I can think of is I took the ACT without writing (didn't know writing was required), but my ACT scores w/o writing is up and my SAT scores are on there.</p>

<p>If anyone can provide helpful insight, I'd be very greatful!</p>

<p>Sorry if I sound like I'm stressing, it's just because I'd really love to be admitted :D</p>

<p>I believe that they may have all of yor materials based on your status report. My son's application remained in that status from December 11 until two days ago. When they have finally reviewed your application the status message will change and will indicate that your application has been reviewed and that once a decision is made you will be informed by postal mail. At that time you can use the trick identified in several of the threads here to check the student tab on myuw.washington.edu to see if you have been set up as a new student (which means you have been adimitted). UW mailings are notoriously slow, even if they have admitted you.</p>

<p>My friend's status was like that since early December until yesterday. Status changes don't occur on an even time plane, so nearly everyone else is in the same boat as you. I'm sure you've submitted everything; they just haven gotten around to confirming that yet.</p>

<p>Ok, sounds good! </p>

<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>

<p>By the way, my son's application was filed just after Thanksgiving and all materials were received by UW by about December 1. He got the status report that you are seeing beginning about December 11 and it did not change until Feb 27. By the morning of Feb 28 we had our "unoffical transcript" on myuw.washington.edu--student tab and the offical admisions letter arrived today in Oregon. Based on a couple of other people who have posted, its seems they are releasing these in tranches now. Hang in there and good luck!</p>

<p>mine has been like yours since December 7th. I'm getting worried now because many of my friends are accepted in last month -_-</p>

<p>Yes, my daughter has been in that state since December 11th... so you are not alone!</p>

<p>I applied to UW before the 12/1 deadline. My status has been stuck at "We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made." since 12/26 and an "unofficial transcript" has never loaded. Is there a final status change before they send you the rejection letter or is it just never updated?</p>

<p>mine's been like this since Jan/4..... good luck to everyon, including me </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Ohsofierce, it should say something like "A decision has been made..." after the "all materials rec'd" status.</p>

<p>My daughter finally moved into the last stage (review complete, check postal mail) on Friday after a long wait (since Dec 11 in the fully reviewed stage, applied Nov. 29th so the first part went quickly).</p>

<p>So hang in there, I guess they are working their way through them!</p>

<p>i called the admissions office and they said that a majority of the students will her between March 15th and April 15th. </p>

<p>My D's status has remained (since Jan 10th)</p>

<p>"We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made."</p>

<p>My status changed to this a few days after it was in the supposed last status:</p>

</p>

<p>Here is the chronological list of statuses:</p>

<p>1) "Your application is awaiting review."
2) "Your application is awaiting initial review."
3) "We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made."
4) "We have reviewed your application. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made."</p>

<p>Once reaching status 4, accepted students will get an unofficial transcript load.</p>

<p>Mine said "Your application is awaiting initial review" before "awaiting review" ...</p>

<p>My memory was indeed incorrect then. Thanks.</p>

<p>If "awaiting initial review" was first, then I am proud to say that I have not gotten far and still am on the first status! Wahoo!</p>

<p>Anyone know if the status changes on weekends?</p>

<p>I don't believe they do, I've see status change on fridays but not saturdays or sundays... that might just be me though.</p>

<p>My status changed on a saturday</p>
