Regular Action application prioritization process?

My DS submitted regular action at the end of November. He just got notice that his application is going for review. I have seen posts with applicants that submitted regular action in January that moved to review status in February. Is there any prioritization of the applications in regular action or is it random? In the letter he received, it stated that there have already been rolling decisions for regular action. This seems to imply his application was not prioritized? Any insight as to how the academy reviews and process applications would be appreciated.

I don't think any of us have good visibility to what is currently happening behind the curtain. The selection committee is diligently working to selection a well-rounded, diverse class from the slate of qualified applicants. Why some applications are reviewed in February and why others take longer to review are questions for which we can all speculate about, but few of us can provide real answers... Best of luck...

I am 99% sure applications are reviewed in the order they are received.

The dartboard they use is generally completed by March 7 each year, so I am thinking any day now we will see some action, lol ;)

Sorry....I couldn't resist. For what it is worth, right there with ya!

While we could speculate on the review order, I wanted to share what Admissions have communicated in the past that there is always at least 1 appointment still available until the last applicant has been reviewed.
Basically if CGA had 100 RA openings they just don't pick the first 100 they review that meet the grade.
This means your DS still has a chance to be selected.
Now there may be 1 opening left or there may be 20+ left - only admissions knows the number.
What we do know is that by the end of March everybody will have their RA decision.

Exciting times on the forum.
Good luck to all still waiting.

Some on this forum have said they received emails that their application is going to review, my question is that my DD has not received such notification but her application was complete on 1-11-18. On her bears den, the box is marked application complete - ready for review. And has been like that for a long time. Do any of you out here waiting have this same issue?

If there is concern, would suggest DD reach out to AO for her geographic area just to confirm she is scheduled at some point for review as they could advise status.
