Don't think so. Pretty sure I checked the status few days after the DD and it was "application chosen in the final shortlist". And I had this status since last year november

Hmm mine changed to final shortlist only after the DD.

Seems like the status is just different for everyone. Gg…

that is very weird hahah, maybe they choose you by the first look of ur resume alr, rest were just formalities hahahah Jk

But I am in a group chat with 13 others from DD5, 2 out of them have that status as well. While others I am assume is as "being reviewed"

When did you notice mate?

If none of the ppl in that chat has received offer I guess the offer for panel interview isn't out. And I guess the status update is useless then LMAO

maybe the status updates before the emails are sent maybe

Noticed it early this week

Did those 2 people already have that strays before the DD?

Maybe the status dosn’t mean anything. Or maybe they are waiting for DD6 which I assume will be held this week?

I guess for now we just have to patiently wait. Was a bit apprehensive as everyone else for other DDs have received the panel interview offer within 1 week (at least based on the forum)

Hope this is the case :)
