Three months is a fairly normal processing time (considering UKVI advise six months as a rule).
Basically you haven't disclosed material facts, i.e. that you have had immigration applications in the past. We can't second-guess what a case worker might decide (assuming your past details are still available on their systems). UKVI might still come back to you asking for further information about your previous application. Or you could send a letter disclosing the details as far as you can. With all applications to the Home Office if in doubt disclose.

It might be better to write a cover letter and send to the HO office before your case is decided. Explain that you have forgotten to mention that you were once a student in the UK and then provide as much evidence as you can.

Yes, it could count against you if you were in breach of your visa conditions.
