Does the EA deadline apply even if you were not heavily affected by Hurricane Matthew?

I live in Georgia and submitted my application on October 18th. The application has been completed and it says that my application made it in. I even got an email about it being in and it gave me a Buzzport registration link. In Buzzport it says Status: No Decision Has Been Made.

I was not severely affected by Hurricane Matthew (just a few power outages), but for some reason thought that the deadline applied to all candidates. After reading a few posts online, it seems that this is not the case. Am I okay because my application is already in, or are they going to automatically deny me based on this scenario?

Once again, it is obvious that my application and all forms made it to them, just wondering if I may be disqualified because I am not in a heavily-affected region. Thanks.

That status is normal. That just means they haven’t gotten to your application yet. Once they do, it will change to “File Under Review.”

Maybe it would be a good idea to call the admissions office and ask them.
