Had status (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rated

'had status' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Estimated the value or assigned a ranking" , "given a dressing-down" , "Classified or graded" , "Castigated" , "Scolded - valued" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.
