I oversee graduate admissions at Texas A&M Chemistry and I am writing to you regarding your application to our PhD program. Thank you for your interest in our department. We are always glad to see strong applications from XXX(本科学校). I realize that you submitted your application quite a while ago and I apologize for not getting in touch about it with you sooner. Your application is of interest to us and we have not made a decision on it yet. I do not think we are done with making offers and we will probably be making more offers. However, I do not know yet how many more offers we will make and I cannot tell you at this time whether an offer will be made to you.
At the same time, I hope that you will not make a commitment to another school before hearing from us more concretely. Please understand that it is not a matter of indecision about whether you would succeed in our program - that is not an issue, and I would not be writing to you if we did not think you would do very well here. It is rather a matter of working out how many offers, especially international offers, we may make this year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
