Do you know about the Deputy Editor Michelle Chang? How is the efficiency in handling manuscripts?

You can make a selection, but it does not guarantee that you will be assigned the chosen deputy editor.

Can I choose an editor when submitting a manuscript? Will the chances of being assigned to this editor be higher if I directly mention their name in the cover letter?

Has it been submitted for review? It has been 16 days since I was assigned as the associate editor, but it still shows as "under consideration." What's going on?

Submitted on April 4th, assigned to editor on April 7th, 1 minor revision + 1 major revision + 2 rejections on May 17th.
Editor suggested submitting to ACS Catalysis.
As of early May, after the submission system of ACS was updated, the status cannot be viewed anymore. Once submitted, it is immediately under review and the "In peer review" status cannot be found, which is very frustrating.

It seems like a new system has been implemented now. It is not showing whether it has been submitted or not. I haven't received any notifications either.

4.1 The deputy editor has been assigned, but 4.12 has not been submitted for review yet. Is this speed normal? Is it going to be delayed?

The submission was made on February 25, but as of March 9 this year, a deputy editor has not been assigned yet. Does it really take this long? At least assign a deputy editor first. Usually ACS will assign a deputy editor.

Here is another submission process for JACS to share with you. I submitted to Nature Synthesis and Nature Common, but they were not accepted for review. It seems that for the N series, it is still necessary for the supervisor to have connections and be able to talk to the editors. It is really difficult to submit blindly.

I submitted to JACS on 240205 and then went home for the Chinese New Year without paying attention to the updates. After three months, on 240425, I received the reviewer comments. There were four reviewers, one minor revision, one major revision, one rejection, and one arbitrator who suggested a minor revision. The editor decided to go with the major revision based on experience, as usually JACS would not consider the rejection comments. However, the rejection comments were too general, so the editor decided to give the arbitrator a chance, which led to a longer review process. So, for those who are submitting to JACS, don't worry if you don't hear back right away, no news is good news.

I made revisions on 0606 and it was accepted on 0629. I also designed a cover, but it was not selected.

Please share the submission process. 
Submitted to Angew on 03/29, rejected on 05/27, with three reviewers - one minor revision, one rejection, and one agreed with the rejection. The rejection comments were quite broad, suspected they didn't carefully read the article. Thought about appealing but would have to wait in line for results, which could take one to two months, so didn't bother to appeal. The article was left untouched for a while. 
Submitted to JACS on 09/18, sent for review a week later, received reviewer comments on 11/01 - one minor revision and one major revision, with the editor giving a month for the major revision. 
Requested an extension once in between, revised on 12/19, and accepted on 01/09.
