同等USC，USC给面试我就飞去CA，把uc Davis顺路面了，现在还拖着

那就勉为其难说是waitlist吧，谢谢eynadux！！我知道你是安慰我~

Take is as consolation. But I was really asking what does "Ding" mean.  There're no schools I applied have invited me

Do it mean I 'm dinged by them?

别灰心啊，现在很多round 2的学校还在process application，陆续还会发invitation的。就连说统一发offer的duke都在邮件里说如果没被invited this time还有机会的.

Thanks for your consolation first.  Ding means rejected by the school~~actually, i don't know what does this word represent.
In the letter from Duke admissions, they mention that the people who were not invited are still have the possibility to be reconsidered for interview. So, this means we are in the wait-list....right now....

刚才看了你以前的帖子，发现自己就是悲剧中的悲剧: 男，IT，Low GMAT （710）， Career Switcher.  Jon同学提醒说不要写在essay里。
唉， 明年再来了。。。

Yeah, technically I have a chance to be the future Chairman of the party.

yeah, I took Jon's advice and didn't mention anything about switching career.  I think I wrote a fairly compelling career goal story by connecting my future goals with what I am doing right now.  So people feel it makes sense and achieveable.  
我的GMAT还没你高呢，不过我的academic record比较strong,一定程度上弥补了不足...而且我不在国际学生pool里
万事无绝对，再耐心等几天，也许good news is on the way!
Good luck!!
