[Not Accepted, Not Rejected... Not Waitlisted either...but "I'm still under consideration"?...]

So far, I'm officially waitlisted at my top 2 choice schools. My third choice is.... I suppose I'm waitlisted also (if this even qualifies as being waitlisted).

I applied to the Masters of Science program for Speech Language Pathology at Pacific University. They are a new program. It's April 26, 2012 now and I have heard nothing. Then yesterday I broke down and emailed them only to get a vague response about how "I'm still under active consideration" and "thank you for [my] patience".

What does this mean???

The admissions counselor insists that she can not give me anymore information and that the department is still making decisions even though I know for sure that other applicants have already recieved acceptance/rejection letters while i have received nothing.

I honestly don't know what to do. Has anyone had this happen to them? Are there other schools out there, who do this?

Essentially, I'm kept in limbo until they ....well I have no idea.

I'm going crazy here! Perhaps it is a strategy to drive people like me crazy! It's working.
