Note

Please can someone explain to me what does this mean ? Are they offering me a spot next term (Spring/Fall 19) or does this mean if, someone drops decides not to go they will inform me? Or is it just a more polite way of saying that I am rejected, in that case this would be my 11th rejection. "We have reviewed your application to the Physics program and are impressed by your credentials.
