can anyone explain what need to be done? do I have to submit documents?

It basically means that they will proceed with your application but you have to submit the official documents if you get an admit. If you cheat, you are out. Log in to your application account and make sure that you have submitted all the unofficial documents now. Good luck.

Might be nitpicking here, but has anybody been tracking their YouTube analytics to know when the adcom has watched their video essay?

That's great! Mine was viewed once for all of 13 seconds on the day I got the notification that my application passed the eligibility review. Nobody has watched it since and it's driving me nuts! I presume it would take another 7-10 days to hear from them, I guess.

Yeah, looks like it. I haven't heard back after moving to the evaluation stage either.

Nikhil YouTube analytics shows the video as being played from topapply.com for only 13 seconds. The total length is 1 minute 33 seconds.

Does that mean the adcom didn't watch the video completely? Just wondering what to make of this information

BTW, what is topapply.com ?

Haha, I hope not! Like I said, it was viewed the day the adcom confirmed that my application was forwarded for profile evaluation, so my guess is they don't watch it fully during the application eligibility review. And it's driving me nuts that they don't seem to have taken up my application/video for the profile evaluation three weeks after submitting it.

Topapply I suppose is the application software Sauder uses. Youtube analytics shows the traffic source for every video. Since I have kept mine unlisted, only the adcom can see it and it shows the traffic source as topapply.

Hi, I got an e-mail today saying that my profile is incomplete. The proof of English proficiency is not attached, and I need to submit a letter from the college.
I did my Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia, but on the transcripts it’s not mentioned explicitly that it was in English.
Can someone pls guide what letter should I get from the university?
Also, format for the same if anyone has, will be very helpful.

There isn't a format that Sauder is looking for. They just need a document from your college mentioning the medium of instruction. The best people to answer your question will be your engineering college.
