2018 Summer Seminar Application Status

My application has not been processed yet :/ I read that we might not hear until March 1st, but I'm still wayy stressed about this haha
I'm slightly concerned, considering there has been no change in mine either, with 3 days until March 1st.
Did you check?? It just change to “under consideration “ just now
 
Admissions posted on instagram that regardless of what your portal says, every application has been reviewed and everyone will be notified of status by March 1st.

Hey guys,

I know everyone is concerned about their selection or not, but we're all in the same boat. I would suggest as quoted above, to follow academyadmissions on Instagram. They post a lot of tips including the March 1st announcement as mentioned. We'll know in two days!!
 
DS is currently in Huntsville at the US Space and Rocket Center for the Honeywell Leadership Academy. He has very limited free time, but he did let me know his Status is also changed to “Under Consideration”. He is having a blast AND super excited to find out his Summer Seminar Status. Exciting times!

My status changed from "not yet processed" to "applicant" today. From what I can gather from previous year, the committee meets weekly in February and will send some notifications out the following saturday-monday. So we could see some decisions by the (fingers crossed!) 3rd, or realistically the 10th.
can you share hare your resume, please?

Please remember as you wake up tomorrow that if you don't get a slot at SS, it has no bearing on whether you will ultimately secure an appointment. SS is an outreach to pre-candidates who might not have considered a service academy. If you came across in your application as someone who is showing new/recent interest in the academy (as opposed to someone who has been dreaming of the academy for years and/or has already visited the campus) or if you represent a particular diversity category or live in a city where the academy is focusing its outreach, you are more likely to be selected for SS. Failure to be selected for SS does not necessarily mean your application was weak. Our DS had a very strong application for SS with very high academics and extracurrics/leadership, yet he was not selected for SS, probably because we had already visited the campus two years earlier. Turns out it did not matter as he is now a 2022 appointee. So tomorrow, if you get disappointing, heart-sinking news, do not lose hope. The real prize is the appointment, anyway, and one result definitely does not pre-determine the other.
 
Your Status:
Not Selected

This might sound like a stupid question, but does that mean rejection?
 
For me the site says: "Oops! The Admissions Server is currently synchronizing data with USAFA. We must suspend all data input while this process runs to prevent the data from being corrupted. YOU DID NOT LOSE ANY OF YOUR WORK! If you have already entered some data it is still there and you may return to your Summer Seminar Application after the synchronization is finished. The synchronization usually takes around 45 minutes".

Does everyone else have this message too?
