Still no decision: How to intepret?

[mconnett]

While I applied kind of late in the cycle (beginning/middle of February) I have yet to receive decisions from 5 schools (Duke, Cornell, Notre Dame, USC, and Colorado). For at least one of these 5 schools (Cornell), the ASD was already held.

While I gather this isn't an uncommon situation, I'm just wondering what it usually means? My default interpretation is that I'm either on the borderline of being accepted/waitlisted or waitlisted/rejected. Is this a fair assumption, or could it just be that they haven't reviewed my application yet?

Also, are chances of scholarship greatly reduced with a pending status this late in the day?

Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated.
