Hold for Comparison?

Anyone get this weird email from Univ of Kentucky today? I have no idea what it suppose to be but it states that my "credentials will be compared with other applicants" of Fall 08, and then I will be possibility invited for an interview. I know that some applicants had already been asked to fill out a secondary but instead I got this.

I received the same letter last year and never received an interview. I don't know if you are a state resident or not, but I got the impression that it was sent to people who were not state residents, unless you had ridiculously high stats.

So it's basically a "we're waiting on all other applications and we're 99% certain you won't get in"? Or do you have a legitimate shot? Any out of staters know? I'm applying to KY out of state

I got the same e-mail today. I called them because I had just sent in my new DAT scores and didn't know if this e-mail was in regards to my app with the new scores or the old ones. Here's the basic conversation:

Me: Is this in response to my new scores?
Them: Yes.
Me: So, basically it means I'm not rejected yet, right?
Them: It means we need a bigger pool of applicants to compare applications before we offer any more interviews.

Not really informative, but I think it means we're border-line. Maybe because we're all out-of-staters without 4.0 gpas and 29/29 DAT scores. I'm not sure. But I do know that last year I was rejected without ever getting a "hold" e-mail, so it's a step in the right direction. Not to mention that last year after my rejection, I spoke with Mr. Kim Bryan in order to get some feedback. He said that I was a "bubble player" as an out-of-stater, but probably would have gotten an interview had I been a resident. So let's keep our fingers crossed that we get offered interviews!
