Hard to say
Only a few September applicants are getting MR.
Also some August applicants are getting MR, but not all of them yet.
Looks like something is moving but not too fast yet.
I had same concerns on October 2015 when I applied to EE, but was worth did it.
Know it's more unclear.
If you have a good score, all the documents and fill a good application, processing time could be 3-4 months, plus sometime url draw, around 4-5 months.
For applicants getting MR old application could be fully finished in 4-5 moths? Perhaps, I don't know.
But if you're waiting for MR could take longer.
At this moment it's hard to say, but if money and paperwork aren't a big deal for you could be useful to apply to EE.
Looks like something is moving forward old applications but not sure how long will take to get processing done
