Now what does this mean ?am i waitlisted?

I wanted to keep you updated as your application progresses. The committee met and wanted to consider your application further. I am hoping you can be patient with us. We have an extremely competitive program and our committee reviews each and every candidate thoroughly. I will let you know if any questions or decisions arise. Thank you again for your patience.

This is what a graduate secretary sent on 25th .how do i improve my chances at getting accepted here? :?

It sounds like you're not waitlisted (yet). They know that they're behind other universities and have probably been receiving many calls, so they just wanted to let everybody know that no news is not bad news for now.

I think the most you can do is reply and say thank you for the update and that you are still very interested in the university. Don't count on it being able to improve your chances of admission, but it certainly won't hurt.

I agree. It doesn't sound like a decision has been made one way or the other yet. That could be good news that they haven't cut you completely. I would say your odds at this point are "IN" or "WAIT LIST", with "OUT" still a possibility. Hang in there...

Thanks ! well i did email them . now lets see how things shape up !

Yup, looks like you are waitlisted. Not all waitlisting is official because if the list is very long with little chance for most applicants on the waitlist they do not want you to know about it since then many would be calling and bothering them. Thus they use this kind of "explanation." Most admission decisions are made rather fast, there is no need for "careful examination."

I actually found, even in a major university, that sometimes people in charge do not even read the application properly, much less examining "in depth." But of course they will always make it sound better than it is so they are "carefully considering" you.

When you are waitlisted nobody is examining anything until the candidates with admission start dropping out. Then you might get a chance if you were previously ranked high on the waiting list. The reality is that on the waiting list there are no rights nor "truths to be told." It is simply a limbo.
