Musicology (from Greek μουσική (mousikē), meaning 'music', and -λογία (-logia),
meaning 'study of') is the scholarly analysis and research-based study
of music. Musicology is part of the humanities. A scholar who
participates in musical research is a musicologist.
Traditionally,
historical musicology (commonly termed "music history") has been the
most prominent sub-discipline of musicology. In the 2010s, historical
musicology is one of several large musicology sub-disciplines.
Historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and systematic musicology are
approximately equal in size. Ethnomusicology is the study of music in
its cultural context. Systematic musicology includes music acoustics,
the science and technology of acoustical musical instruments, and the
musical implications of physiology, psychology, sociology, philosophy
and computing. Cognitive musicology is the set of phenomena surrounding
the computational modeling of music. In some countries, music education
is a prominent sub-field of musicology, while in others it is regarded
as a distinct academic field, or one more closely affiliated with
teacher education, educational research, and related fields. Like music
education, music therapy is a specialized form of applied musicology
which is sometimes considered more closely affiliated with health
fields, and other times regarded as part of musicology proper.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
