Does everybody want to share how many people in their application? I think the applicant number play a key role in the assessment. Two applicants are in my file.
My application has two applicants.

Congrats to Meteor and Dani ;)
Hopefully I will get my PER soon too.

I think phdapplicant used money order as well, and it seems that he got cashed a couple of days late compared to some other applicants that had their applications received around the same time. We will see.
For clarification, I don't know the exact date when they cashed my money order. My bank only told me that my MO had been cashed and I didn't ask for the date. So I'm not sure whether using money order makes it slower or not.

My application is in "In Process" :)

Probably, my MO was cashed on March 2. As bank will get updates only once in a week (updates till thursday on friday morning), they will get my MO details on this thursday only.

Meteor, Dani, and AST, congratulations ;D A lot of good news today.

I also just heard that my credit card was charged YESTERDAY (I don't know why I didn't check it yesterday, would've made my day a lot better), so it was only 20 days since they received my application back on Feb 16 :)

Anyway, snow_walker, if it doesn't trouble you too much, can you change my name from the spreadsheet to 'asbereth' (it is krwszda now [I took it that you misinterpreted when I said that my application was received by krwszda, not that it was my name :) ]).

Also, is it true that you can waive the difference in international tuition with just having PER? Can anybody confirm?

Yes, you can. I got a tuition waive based on my previous application which is still in process.

I just gave the application with the printouts of ECAS status which shows that my status is "In process" and the details of "in Process" (which can be obtained when we click on "In Process"), and they gave a waive.

If ur university has such a provision, they will surely mail all graduate students regarding this. I got such a mail with the application form.

asbereth probably knows about this better than me, but I think you should claim only 20 to 25 hours. Is there anyone here who applied only with TA/RA work experience?
