Just received an ambiguous email from the Director of Graduate Admissions at Emory as follows:
-----
Dear Mr. XXX,
I am writing you with an update on the status of your application to the Emory Ph.D. program. We are unable to make you an offer of admission at this point; however, this may change as the spring semester unfolds.
The department is very impressed with you. We anticipate that you will have many options this spring and understand that you may not be available if and when we become able to make you an offer. That said, if you remain interested, I am happy to answer any questions that you might have about our program or our admissions process. If you have to make a decision and are still interested in Emory, please call or email and I will update you immediately about your status.
I wish I were writing with an admission offer, as I think you will fit well in our program.

It seems that I am waitlisted, but I cannot clarify my status because of the euphemism. Can anybody help me?
