She says she wants to focus on school. Is she just letting me down easy? Any advice for how to act after this? Should I wait for her?

So we've known each other since September. I said that I had feelings for her but she said that she just wanted to focus on school right now. She's really trying hard to transfer schools. She said she really wants us to remain friends because I'm important to her and when I told her that she didn't have to apologize she said she wanted to because she says my feelings are really important to her.

She's also really friendly with another friend of ours though but she's typically like that with a lot of people because I asked her once when she seemed to be really friendly with another guy she met recently and she said she wasn't interested in him.

I don't know. I don't really trust my perceptions when it comes to these kinds of emotions. I do still want to be friends with her and a part of me really wants to wait for her.

Oh I forgot to mention it. She really really pushes it home that she wants to be single. She's mentioned it multiple times.
