College summer festival waitlist question

Oh you wise and experienced parents - what do you think it means when a summer festival says “our waitlist is a bit fluid so we can’t tell you where you fall on the list.” ?? One festival told her exactly where she was on the list, presumably ranked by audition, but this one said their list was “fluid”. What does that mean and how do they determine who to call next? Any experience out there?

Thanks in advance!!
