Application Status Meanings

I am just wondering if anyone has had an experience with this and maybe noticed if this comes along with an offer or rejection.
My first go to is assuming they've made a decision and they are either holding this decision back or just checking some final bits.

Anyone have any idea on this?

So at the tail end of last week, my application status on the St Andrews portal changed from;

"Pending Decision" to "Checking Application".

Hey, I applied late November and my status changed from "Pending Decision" to "Checking Application" mid January and I've still not heard back so I don't think it's anything much. I guess all we can do is wait
