“We are very impressed by your profile, and we think that you would be a great addition to our program. However, due to the large amount of uncertainty this year, we are making decisions more slowly. As a result, we will place you on our waitlist for admission.
I want to emphasize that you are near the top of our waitlist. We hope to provide an update the week of April 1.”
Well the practical issue is that no one knows what they mean by “near top of the list” lol.
I was waitlisted without interview fyi.
