Well I found out because my regional admisisons commander called me to tell me it wasn't gonna happen this year, after I was told it would. Basically you could call, and get ahold of whoever your guy is in your region, ask him a few questions and he or she should be able to let you know. I found out nearly four months after I had everything completed. So if your antsy, though impatience won't get you in, that's something you could do. Hope this helps.
