No not yet, I have the same status. He said it’d take a few weeks until decision is released.

It just went to PAO because it states recommended to receive an offer.” It still has to go through PAO.

The Portal status shows under review by degree committee. I received an email stating: Following interview and consideration, we have made a recommendation to the Board of Graduate Studies that you are offered a place on the programme.” I am not sure whether it means they are still debating whether I am a good fit.

Congratulations!! I think that means they’ll take you in. By the way, what’s your background and timeline?
