求问texas austin wait list

收到邮件，
We are pleased to inform you that you are on the wait list for admission with financial aid to our doctoral program.  Because we have very limited funds available for financial support, we are unable to offer you aid at this time.  (It is department policy to offer admission only to those students to whom we can provide aid.)

We know that you will have other offers to consider, and we would greatly appreciate it if you would let us know whether you are still interested in our program and keep us informed if your status changes.  We will do our best to notify you of any changes on our end.


有前辈有过他家wait list的经验么。。

看语气我估计发这种类型的waitlist一般就是系里资金短缺，由于时常会有系里把offer送出去后被水平很高的学生再拒掉的现象，所以想试探试探你究竟是多想去他们那。
10年本申时某个文理学院也给我发了类似的waitlist email，主要表达的潜在含义就是让我写封表忠信过去声明如果被录取就一定会去这所学校读书，然后他们才会把我从waitlist转成offer。不过那个AO给我写的比你这封内容更“直接”一些。
乐观的一点就是他们给你写waitlist时用的是"pleased,"我记得我得到的waitlist letters从来都是"unfortunately" :D
不过本申和博士申请区别可能不小，我的经验很可能毫不相关。
