A university application/admission status represents the stage at which each individual prospective student's application is currently being reviewed by the admission counselors. It provides you with an insight or update on the advancement of your application before the final decision is communicated to you. The application/admission status also informs you if there are any outstanding documents that you are required to submit in order for your application to proceed through the complete selection process
Admission statuses vary based on missing information, the faculty to which the application is submitted, or the type of application filed. This provides you with a clear indication of what to anticipate as your eventual admission status, which will be communicated to you through SMS or email, depending on your preferred communication method.
It's crucial to bear in mind that the ultimate decision regarding the success of your application hinges on your final Grade 12 results. If you submitted your application on time for the correct courses with the required subjects and levels, please do yourself a favor and reduce your preoccupation with the application status. Instead, focus on your studies to enhance your academic performance and improve your chances of receiving a final acceptance in January.

The admission statuses "Application in Process" and "Admission Without Status" both indicate that your application is still under evaluation.

However, the "In Process" status indicates that your application is actively being reviewed, and you can expect to receive feedback in due course.

Waiting List
A university admission status labeled as "Waiting List" signifies that the prospective student hasn't received a formal acceptance nor a formal rejection. In other words, the prospective student remains in a state of potential acceptance or rejection. Admission from the waiting list depends on whether there are any available spaces in the chosen course or department. The fate of waitlisted prospective students hinges on the availability of openings after accepted students have completed their registration.
It is advisable for prospective students to apply to multiple institutions to broaden their options, especially after final decisions have been announced.
Additionally, some students may receive a "Provisional Acceptance" or be "Subject to Grade 12 Results," indicating that their acceptance is contingent on their final Grade 12 examination results.
