I received the "We are pleased to notify you that your application has progressed to the next stage of our admissions process. At this juncture, an additional evaluator will undertake a thorough assessment of your credentials to further determine your eligibility for an interview. This review will include a careful analysis of how your experiences and aspirations correspond with the mission and values of our program." And I submitted 9/20!

Mid-sep; before you. Got the "Given that we have received over 15,000 applications in this cycle" version instead. So, hopefully this converts for you!

Definitely wasn't expecting this school to be one of the first to update communication with me!

Got that email today and submitted secondary July 14.

Looked at all the past SDN threads and checked by username and version of email vs. ii and acceptance. Zero correlation. Same number of people with both versions eventually got a ii. But among the applicants of both versions that received a ii, the "15k" version people got theirs around a month later than the "pleased" version (avg 1.3 vs 2.2 mnths). Pretty sure this is just a place in the queue style email.

is there any difference between getting an email and not getting an email?

We're all getting these at different times. You may still get the email today.
