Do apps go immediately to under review at submission or does it not happen until later? I forget what it said when I submitted mine and saw the portal today says it's under review so I'm just kind of curious not that it really changes anything.

Does anyone know if they send completion emails?

My portal says As of July 22, 2026, your application is under review. Once a final decision is made, we will send a separate communication as an application status update. -- So I imagine they might? Unless that just means the update happens in the portal.

July 9th completed my application

I got one yesterday a few hours after I submitted

could anyone post this year's secondaries with word or character limit?

Did anyone get a completion email? I don’t see it updated on the portal, nor did I receive an email. The only things marked complete on my end are the payment and essays.

I do have a "your application is complete" email. It took about a day to receive.
