University of Texas?

Has anyone else applied to the ecology/evolution/behavior department at UT-Austin? I sent in my application back in december and still haven't heard anything! When I emailed them I was told that they are behind on admissions this year and "Your file has been circulated, and is awaiting final confirmation of sponsorship--if a professor has several applicants that s/he is interested in and only limited space available they will often wait until all or most of their applicants have been preliminarily accepted before making a final decision." What does that mean??? The admissions woman said they hoped to have everything done by the end of march... but that its out of her hands. I get the feeling I've been waitlisted and no one is telling me. Any thoughts?
