Application already under review?

Does anyone else here already have their application listed as “under review” in the Berkeley application status portal?

I applied in mid-November to the College of Engineering, was asked for my recommendation letters around November 20th, and had them both in by December 9th. About a day after the last letter had been submitted, Berkeley emailed me saying that my application has entered review. As far as I know, the decision letters don’t come out until late March, so will my application be in review for the next four months, or will I be notified of a decision earlier?

Hey I’m a Berkeley engineering applicant too. So far they haven’t asked me for any recommendations but the status of my application on the Berkeley portal is “Currently under review”. So maybe all of the applications are being reviewed in order to weed out the weak ones?
