DON1 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, I received this email " The admissions committee has met and shortlisted your application" What Does It Mean To Shortlist Applicants?
Warelin Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 The most common meaning is that you're on a short waitlist.
Almaqah Thwn Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Shortlited means either one one of two things: 1. You've made it past the initial cut, but you're not guaranteed a spot yet. You're still competing with other people, but the pool is much smaller (I.E. 2 other candidates, instead of 40). It's a bit of a double-edged sword to know your shortlisted. On the one hand, you're close to getting admitted and you know it. On the other hand, there's still a good chance you'll get beat out and it'll blow up in your face. Don't put too much stock into the program until you're actually offered admission. 2. To light a candle with a very short wick. This is hard, as there is not much room for the candle to burn.
