<p>so, i got the "We have received all materials necessary to begin the review of your Regular Decision application. Should we have any questions or require further materials from you, we will contact you directly via email or telephone. If you have not already done so, please check your email address to be sure we have your current email on record." letter-like thing on my status page online in mid-december, after I had submitted my actual application but before my friend had sent in my peer evaluation.</p>
<p>did any of you also get that message before they received your peer evaluation?</p>
<p>does that mean that they begin reviewing applications before their peer evals are in?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
