<p>When the application status says that a decision has been made, you will get it in the mail, is that a bad thing? Would they show it online if it was good news? I recall that on the UMich site that this was a bad sign, but I don't have any prior experience with the MSU site.</p>
<p>No that is fine.....I think all decisions are made by mail. S has the same message and we are expecting a letter any day. He is not borderline and is expecting an acceptance.</p>
<p>Thank you D101, when I saw that my heart sank, good to know it does not mean anything negative. Fredmar</p>
<p>I know a girl who already did get in and her's said that too. And mine says it now and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get in.</p>
<p>My application status said the same thing and I received my acceptance letter a few days later. If anything, I would say that it is a good sign that they have made a decision so quickly. Everyone at my school who has heard back from MSU has gotten accepted so far. The people with lower stats (who applied at the same time as I did) still haven't received any news.</p>
<p>Thanks, sarahrachel109, I hope you are right. MSU is definitely a good choice for my daughter and she hasn't gotten any good news yet, so I am hoping that you right.</p>
<p>Acceptance came in the mail today!!</p>
<p>My status says .. Your application file is complete. There is no decision at this time. Once a decision has been made a letter will be mailed etc .. </p>
<p>What does that mean, did any of you get that status? </p>
<p>What are some of your stats of you that have already been accepted?</p>
<p>I think I should get in .. ACT - 27 GPA - 3.5</p>
<p>Congratulations! I am sure you are happy to have a high quality acceptance like MSU in hand. Can I be a pain, and ask what date the application status website said your decision was made? Just wondering how long it really takes from decision to mailbox.</p>
<p>I heard from a girl at school today that (at least in southeast Michigan) it takes a week. So mine says the decision was made on Tuesday, and she thinks it will come this coming Tuesday.</p>
<p>No problem....This is a stressful process isn't it??</p>
<p>Anyway, I believe the website said Oct. 20, and we received it today Oct. 24.<br>
As far as the poster who asked about "a decision has not been made yet." that probably means that all information has now been received and waiting for a human to review it. From your stats it doesn't sound like a problem.</p>
<p>Ok .. that's what I was hoping to hear lol. I was a little worried when I first read that status after hearing about everyone else that their decision has been made. </p>
<p>Hopefully my status will change soon to a decision has been made. </p>
<p>thank you.</p>
<p>"We have received your application, and it is currently being processed."
I submitted it about a week ago, does this meant they're waiting on transcript/scores?
How long did it take you guys from start to finish to hear back</p>
<p>mephist .. I had that status about a week ago and then it will change to your application file is complete etc .. </p>
<p>It just means that they have received all of your information and they are processing it and putting together your file. </p>
<p>It will say right underneath that if they have for sure received your transcript and/or ACT score.</p>
<p>What the quickest time of acceptance you all know of?</p>
<p>My friend got all of hers in on October 4th and got her decision 3 days ago. I got mine in on the 6th and am still waiting.
Hope that helps you gauge your timeline a little.</p>
<p>EDIT: </p>
<p>Just checked. It said decision made on October 24th and mailed to me.</p>
<p>I had mine in October 3, the decision was made October 21, and I got my acceptance letter today.</p>
<p>HUGE weight off my shoulders.</p>
<p>Congratulations, srgirl6! , But I am so annoyed. My daughter's status says decision was made on October 20, but still no letter today. I think my mailman is just lazy, I never seem to get the mail on time. We are in Michigan, so it shouldn't take this long!</p>
<p>Huh, where in Michigan are you? Because it doesn't seem to be taking the letters too long to get here.</p>
<p>We are in metro Detroit area, northwest suburbs, I've decided to believe that it is taking so long because they had to package the big scholarship they are sending to her... I wish.</p>
