Just had a look at my portal and it says the same thing as yours. Do you think it might mean that the assessment of our application is in progress?🤣
Haha glad i am not the only one in the same confused boat! I checked the other day and i remember it saying something like "application under consideration" so i think this is good news? In any case if you get any updates let me know! Somebody else said they received the online test link today morning so maybe they are sending it in batches?

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre hi guys!! would love some insight on this. If I applied to a firm last cycle and made it to the AC but was rejected based on feedback regarding my case study, would it be good to reference how I have developed since the previous application?
What exactly do you want update them on? The fact that you have worked on your case study analysis skills? O you have developed your whole profile?

I think that it would be worth highlighting the things you have done ever since the AC, especially when it comes to graduating with a high grade, awards won, prizes or new societies you have joined, and internships opportunities.

I would not write how you have developed case study analysis skills and therefore you will perform better on the AC this. I believe that you should show this once you are invited for the AC again, which I am sure you will anyway! Show rather than tell I would say!
