I just posted what I think to be the second wait list announcement. Here's the bulk of the e-mail/letter: "This year, our program had an extremely competitive applicant pool with over 130 applications for only 7 funded positions. Since we only admit full scholarship students we cannot, at this time, offer you admission to the program. However, our Graduate Program Committee was very impressed with your candidacy and has placed you on a wait list for admission."
Beyond this, it just said they'll keep me informed about the status of my application.
Sorry, I wish I could offer me helpful information.
