Got an email from DGS asking for a meeting - what does this mean?

[GernderKitten]

I'm applying for the German dept. at Yale and I got a letter from the DGS asking if I could meet with him in his office Friday (I live in New-Haven so no need to travel).

Has this happened to anyone? What does this mean? Am I being rejected/waitlisted? If so, why not just write to me? And if it's an acceptance - WHY NOT JUST WRITE TO ME??

I'm so stressed and have no idea what to expect... Help?

I would imagine it is because they are considering offering you a spot, but would like to interview you in person before making the final decision. I doubt the DGS would take the time to meet with someone just to tell them they are rejected or waitlisted.
