Help me clear this up

Hey all, headrone here. I am not quite down in the dumps but my situation warrants I post here. I will try to keep it as concise as possible without leaving out some key details. We are both 23 years old. So I met this girl on an airplane when flying on holiday, we were going to the same destination. We were heading home for Christmas and we talked the whole plane ride. I got her number and we met up a few times and had some great times. She goes to a university that is 4 hours from mine. At first I told her that I wasn't too sure about jumping into a romantic relationship over this long distance. She said "What is 4 hours? It is 2013, no big deal". I agreed we could give it a shot. A piece of information that is important is that I live within 50 miles from her during the fall, I move down with family for work during my break from school. Things were going great and she drove up to see me twice and I went down to see her twice. We didn't text much because we were both so busy but we talked on the phone for twenty minutes here and there throughout the day. Things started to move real fast, she said she loved me, I however did not say it back right away. This was all within two months of meeting. That is when things started to go south. I started getting really attached and wanted an exclusive relationship. We planned that I could move down to where she lived and take one semester of online courses through my university to see where it went. I started bringing up and exclusive relationship and she said she wasn't comfortable jumping into one considering the distance, she did however say that she wanted one at some point. I was getting frustrated because she was claiming that she loved me and that I was the only one she wanted. Fast forward to now and she has called it off. However she keeps leaving it open. For example, she tells me that she is done with me and wants to move on but that she is not giving me a definitive yes or no on where our relationship will end up. She has said it on a couple of occasions that she is not writing us off but for now she feels skeptical that we can work out. I asked her if when she said she loved me if she meant it, she said yes, but it is not at the level it is now. I asked if she was "friendzoning" me, she said "Only for now." So I chuckled and said I am gonna be the first one to come out of the friendzone, we both laughed and she replied that when she friendzones a guy they usually end up dating down the line. So my plan is that I will apply to the university she attends, which is much, much more prestigious than mine. Meanwhile I still have a full semester away from her while will last 3 1/2 months. I am not going to talk to her much, maybe a phone call once a month. If I get in to her university and things don't work out with us, I will be heartbroken but life will move on and I will be at a better university. If they do work out then great we can be happy together. So if any of you shed some light on my best course of action to be able to obtain another shot with her would be greatly appreciated. I'll be honest, she is the one I want and I had a face to face chat with her a couple days and told her I still have feelings for her and my desire is to one day have a fair shot at dating when we are living close by and can see each other regularly. During that last talk she still called me babe and was flirting a little bit. Now that being said, if things do not work out with us I know that I am a catch and she should be lucky to have me and I will be just fine. Apologies for the long post. I will be able to answer any questions y'all have and thanks for your time and helping me out.
