Admission decision

[t.gentle]

Hi, 

What does it mean if I ask a department I applied to a PhD program and then I get this response "We have received your application for the Environmental Science Graduate program.  Your application will be held until all positions are filled. Thank you for your interest in our graduate program".

I am assuming perhaps I am on a waiting list till but it is not explicitly stated. Thanks

That means you're waitlisted.
