My Current Status changed to: Under Review Guys, come on, calm down! Take it easy. (if you add up acceptance rates of all schools to which you have applied and if the sum gives you a number more than 100% - be sure you will be accepted, well at least it is statistics).

Actually to calculate the probability of getting into at least one school (and it cannot be greater than 100% and cannot equal 100%). 1-P(Getting rejected from every school) Therefore if you take the acceptance rate of a school as the probability that you will get in, P(Getting rejected from a school) = 1-P(Acceptance rate) To get to the probability of getting rejected from every school, you would take the product of the probabilities of getting rejected from each school. You can get very close to 100% but never reach it (see attached). Just an engineer trying to kill time while waiting for rejections...

Are you sure this is correct? It doesn't seem to take into consideration that the same person get accepted to multiple schools. Typically Candidate 1 will get accepted to 5 out of the 10 schools they applied, but then Candidate 2 will get accepted to none out of the 10 schools they applied.

I believe this should be correct regarding an individual's chance in getting into at least 1 school. Which means you can get into multiple. Of course it assumes that an acceptance rate is equivalent to a candidate's probability to getting an admit which is not necessarily true.

That's what I meant. Certain profiles seem to have better probabilities than other profiles. So doing it as a straight 20% probability doesn't work. Thanks for explaining better than I could.

My application status eventually turned into "under review" this morning just after my inquiry email about the application process.

In my limited experience (and take this with a grain of salt), the application status doesn't really mean very much. I believe mine said something like "Application Submitted" for a long time, then "under review" for only a day before changing again to "interview offered" or something like that. Then, after I interviewed, it didn't change again until I was accepted. Just take it easy. They may have changed up the process a bit this year (I'm not involved with admissions), but last year some people got interview invites literally days after the deadline and some people had to wait over a month. Both people in this 2-person sample set were accepted in R1.

Pretty quiet here. I hope interview invites go out soon...

Need help! I am a R1 applicant and my current application status reads as "Incomplete". Do I mail the ad com or wait for a while longer before i hit the panic button!

Of course, you should mail to admissions office as fast as possible. I had the same problem, they couldn't sort out my transcripts and recommendations. In total, it took five days to explain them that they already had everything they needed. So, I strongly encourage you to contact them.
