Hey All,
For those of you who have been waiting a while to hear back after submitting your app, best bet is to just be patient and not to view the delay as bad news necessarily. I applied on Sept. 19, and haven't heard a thing yet. I spoke with Steve Taylor in HR today and he gave me the response I expected. He said that if you haven't gotten a call or received any type of "email", that means your app is still being reviewed. Everyone will receive some sort of response sooner or later.
So put in a movie, grab a beverage, and enjoy the wait. Good luck to everyone.
