So like I applied to William Paterson and they have this admissions application status. When I checked it today, it says “Your Current Application Status is: Accepted as of 09-Dec-2017”. I thought it means I got accepted to this school but my friends say it’s just saying that your application has been accepted and they’re looking through it as of right now. What exactly does this mean?
It sounds to me like you’re accepted. When did you submit your app?
Agree with above. Seems like an acceptance. Most colleges would have put your “application is complete” or “under review” if they were still in the review stage. I think for obvious reasons they would avoid the word “accepted” so as not to confuse applicants. You can always call admissions if you are unsure.
