Shortlist 什么意思？

发邮件咨询申请状态，Director回复：
Our graduate committee has met regarding applications and your name is on our short list of final applicants for admission and for Teaching Assistant funding for the fall of 2105.  Please be patient a little longer.  I think that it is very likely that things will evolve positively for your application to our Ph. Program

Shortlist 什么意思？要等别人decline吗？

应该不是，shortlist是说他们划了个小范围，还在挑人。Good Luck~

委员会制的不清楚，不过我面试的时候教授说shortlist就是7个录1个，然后我就备胎了

相当于是说进入筛选的最后一轮了，祝你好运
