Does anyone know how long does under review status take? I received an email yesterday saying my materials are under review. From limited sources I know, under review status can last as long as a few months. Has the time span changed over recent years? Can someone who have received under review email provide me with some insight with regard to the time span? Thanks a lot

To the post below, thank you for sharing info. Since I was not invited to the campus visit (i'm international), I am curious whether those who are waitlisted are also invited to the campus. At least 2-3 candidates should decline offers to receive the offer... it seems really tough situation for me
