<p>raevsky: Oh, OK! “Nice” to see it’s not only happening to me though! Then there’s obviously nothing WRONG with my application or anything… I just called the admission offices two weeks ago asking about my application in general too, since the application status information was so poor… But they said everything was OK, so… Just have to wait a bit more then, I suppose!</p>
