womdering if “boarded” actually means winner early or if people came from “boarded/under consideration” to winner as well. Congrats to all the winners!!! I’ll try again on the next board!
DS received 4 year winner notification today! He was "boarded/under consideration" after first round, moved to "boarded" this week, and school of intent page was "write only" for the past few day. Good luck to you and have patience! It's exhausting, but worth it!
Not really. Nearly everyone who is awarded a scholarship will move to boarded (but not all). Not everyone who is boarded is awarded a scholarship. Boarded only means they've looked at it. In some cases it's been looked at and a scholarship awarded before the status could change to boarded.Hmmm. IT DOES seem as though “Boarded” is an early sign of winning.
I never changed to Boarded. I was always Boarded/Under Consideration.Not really. Nearly everyone who is awarded a scholarship will move to boarded (but not all).

I wouldn't read much into that either. They may or may not have looked at your package yet but they certainly will on the third board when they will get through them all. They are also not the most impressive organization in terms of keeping the status up to date.I never changed to Boarded. I was always Boarded/Under Consideration.Not really.

So you’re saying it’s possible I was never even looked at? That doesn’t seem right or fair.I wouldn't read much into that either.

@Minimalmaple28 There is only so much time and so many people to review thousands of applications. They WILL look through all applications at the final board. Personally I would guess it's been looked at but I don't know that and the status, as I said, is never a great indicator. BTW - life isn't fair. Get used to it.
The way the system works is it is a queue system. The board will meet for X amt of days. If the pile has 2500 candidates and they only get through 2300 than the next 200 go to the top of the pile for the next board queue.
