Checking in! Applied yesterday and received a confirmation email this morning. I saw some people haven't received any confirmation from them after several days but they emailed me the next day. You might consider emailing the admissions office to politely ask about your status

[Westofeden]

Checking in as well! I e-mailed them a while ago and solicited a fee waiver, so I never got offered the fast track option. Kind of makes me wish I waited. Application went complete the same day I submitted it last Friday. Hoping for a fast turn around so we will see.

Checking in. Applied 11/1, received confirmation/status checker email on 11/2. Status checker simply says "application received", but my requirements checklist looks complete.

Been sitting at Complete since 10/10 - applied before fast track invite

[tortsandtiaras]

Does BC usually accept via email first before status checker? I've been under review for more than 10 days and I've been obsessively checking. Just wanted to ask if email comes first so I will stop checking like a crazy person. I am non-fast track.

I am in the same situation. I have been "under review" for 12 days already...

Also under review for 12 days. I guess the 10-day priority fast track "guarantee" was more of a soft estimate?

Who knows, they're probably backed up. Hopefully today will be the day!

Received fast track email 10/24, applied 10/25, no confirmation, accepted 10/28 via email.

Call me crazy but I think they just changed my status to read "Your application is being reviewed" from "Your application is under review."

I applied regular decision but my status checker changed to "decision rendered" a few hours before I received my acceptance via email.

Mine still says "Your application is being reviewed" not crazy I guess...

God if I see that today I may go into cardiac arrest.

Just submitted my app last night and still have not heard from BC about my status checker info or they have received my application. How long will it normally take from submitting and getting the status checker info? I applied via fast track.

I got my status checker within 24 hours. But guessing as how all of us are about 12+ days of being "under review" there may be some backup there.

Fast track applicants do not get status checkers from what I understand. I know I didn't get one ever and neither did someone else who applied via fast track.

Monsieur Red,

In response to your latest post (quoted above), are you certain about this? I am aware of a few persons whom received the fast track "invitation" via email, and, upon applying, received a "status checker." Unless there was some sort of option on the application that a fast track invitee had to select, perhaps it is the case that some fast track invitees do get "status checkers" and some do not? When you say you "applied via fast track" does this simply mean that you received the fast track invitation and subsequently applied? Or was there a certain protocol that you had to follow to ensure that you applied via the fast track option?

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you, and warm regards.

I received the fast track email and waited two weeks for my September score to come out then applied, never received a status checker or confirmation email (and still do not have one), then received a congrats email 2 days after submitting. There may be some fast track applicants who get a status checker, but I have not heard any in the forum so far. "Whereselizabeth" appears to be in the same boat as I was with no confirmation whatsoever. As for a protocol, I never clicked any special boxes or anything like that, I just applied like normal.

I applied via "fast track plus" and I received a status checker. It has said "Your application is being reviewed" since 10/24.

It looks like the BC admissions office is in way over their heads here.

I would definitely say that sounds like the case. Hopefully you don't have to wait much longer!

I got the fast track e-mail a few weeks ago, applied on Monday and got the status tracker the next day. Been in review since then, hoping for a quick result.

I wonder what is determining who gets status checkers and who does not. Hmm either way, good luck everybody!
