My status online changed from “File Complete. Ready for Review” to “File Still Under Review.”
Has anyone else experienced this? Does it mean I’ve been held over for later review? Or does it mean that the initial review is still ongoing?
If anyone else has ever had this happen, please share your experience!
It means it’s on the pile that’s due to be read one of these days.
Yes, I realize that it is still being reviewed. But the question remains: Does this status suggest: (1) that following a preliminary review, my file has been placed on hold while admissions considers other applications (i.e., my application has been deferred for a bit because they’re not ready to offer admission until they see more files); or (2) that my file is still in the process of a preliminary first review, and is thus still working its way through the reviewers.
Seems to me there is a potentially significant difference between 1and 2, with 2 being preferable.
Has anyone else experienced the “File Still Under Review” status? If so, were you ultimately admitted?
Does anyone else here have the same “File Still Under Review” status?
resipsa001, were you accepted?
@clpweagle, no. My file is “still under review”. I have no idea what this really means. My SAT and GPA are solid and I’ve been accepted to 5 other schools now, all of which are at/above Auburn’s ranking. I’m befuddled.
call them
I asked them what it meant, @resipsa001, It means we’ve been deferred
@clpweagle, I’ve sadly come to the same conclusion that it means deferral. I asked my admissions counselor, too, but he said it didn’t mean that. But after all these weeks of waiting, it clearly does! Not sure why I’m deferred, though. My stats are good—at the median for SAT, and above-median GPA.
@clpweagle, how long has your status been like this? Mine’s been like this for about 6 weeks now!
@resipsa001, I applied on Nov 27. They got my HS transcript on the 28th. The status changed on the 4th of December. I looked at an old post here, this is what it said:
Round 1
Application Deadline: November 1
Decision Notification: November 15
Round 2
Application Deadline: December 1
Decision Notification: December 15
Round 3
Application Deadline: February 1
Decision Notification: February 15
NO idea where they found this info, it’s not on their website. It makes me hopeful for Friday the 15th
