"on our short list" = wait listed?

When the school says that "you are on our short list", does it mean you got into the final round and they have not decided? OR you are wait listed?

i believe short list means u r potential candidates. they may offer u at the very beginning or later on. but one thing is for sure: ur application package is considered very carefully.

btw, which major and uni?
