Question about English (US)
The status in my Carleton Central always showed "Preliminary review required". Therefore, I'm very anxious about this. So, by any chance, if you are able to inform me the decision or the latest progress of my application at your convenience, I will deeply appreciate it. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
You write very well, and I understand you.

Correction: The status in my Carleton Central always [shows] "Preliminary review required."
-------
It's best to write a short message for business writing. People will read your message faster, and a short message also sounds more confident.
To shorten your last sentence, you can say: "If you could provide me with a status update at your earliest convenience, I would appreciate it."
(The phrase "status update" includes a final decision and/or the latest progress on your application.)
-------
Optional: You can also end your message with a friendly and positive saying: "I look forward to hearing from you."
