Anyone who have been accepted checked their application status in the aplication portal?

Mine still says "Application Status: Application In Progress "

Mine just says "Application Status: Application Submitted On 12/09/2013"
Does this mean my application was not considered for this round?
I checked and I submitted it at around 2 PM EST (3 hours before the submission deadline).

No dont worry... even my status has not changed ... i only got an informal mail from my interviewer ......

Interesting.. I guess we just have to survive the remainder of the day and some early hours of tomorrow morning before we find out the truth.

Where exactly will the results be posted on the website?

When I go to the Check App status, it just shows submitted on 12/09/2013. No "In Review" or "App Complete" or anything of that sort. That just disheartens me
