Does it mean I am in the waiting list?

I got a mail from Penn State as below. Does it mean I am in the waiting list? Will I have an opportunity to get a phone interview? What’s my next step? Wait for further notice?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Dear XXX:

Thank you for your application to the Department of Management & Organization PhD program. We have received a significant number of applications and given the limited number of positions available we are currently focused on a few applicants that we have shortlisted.  We continue to be interested in you given your accomplishments, and, so, you we will hold your application in our consideration set unless you let us know otherwise. We thought you would like to know the status of your application. Thank you for your interest in our program.

Sincerely,

XXX

Penn State?  U Iowa? pls share more info here

yes, you are in the waiting list

second group

今年太多学校把applicants 分为几个groups

一般在第一个group 里面挑人，但是也不排除第一个group 用完了，来第二

group 挑人，但问题是，即使这样，如果第二group 人多的话，希望还是较小了。。。。。。。   

我有好几个这样的邮件。。。。。  我基本上把他们看作婉拒

真希望有转机。。。。。。

还是表示被分在 group 3 里面了?

一起祈祷吧 ! 希望重榜的牛人会放弃 offer !

也许我们就有希望了 !

我没写信去问 学校自己寄信来的

我猜是像楼上大大说的那样 我被分在 group 2

而 group 1 现在正在 interview or campus visit

申了Penn State，但一直都没有消息，是不是代表没戏了？
