Here are some things you will see after an application:
[IN PROGRESS]
This means that the person is going through a schooling session. Once they've completed that and been approved, you will see:
[APPROVED]
or
[DENIED]
And at that point, your application thread will be locked and your personal forum will be created.
* Please note that just because your application has been accepted, that does not mean you will make it into the Design Team. If you work with us during your schooling session and you make the necessary improvements, THAT is when you will be approved.
