I got my first acceptance. Wohooo! Finally I can relax. I still have 4 waitlists and a few schools to hear from though.
So far I have 4 waitlist, 1 acceptance and no rejection.
When I was talking to my professors 4 of them offered to write me letters even before I had a chance to ask them for letters because they knew what I wanted to do. In this case I'm sure their letters will be really good. I also prepared my statement of purpose with an I/O Psychology professor.
By the way I got waitlisted for the 4th time today. The e-mail said that it's very likely that they will offer me a spot before april 15th. They just want me to be patient I guess.
Your stats aren't bad at all. Did you double check your statement of purpose and are you confident about your recommendation letters? Sometimes these two cause a lot of problems in people's applications.
I got a snail mail from USF today. They say that they have only 5 spots and it's very competitive. I made their waitlist but not the acceptance list. In the mail it says most people in the waitlist usually end up getting acceptances because a lot of people decline their acceptance. I now have 3 waitlists, no acceptions, no rejections.
Today I got an e-mail from Texas A&M saying that I made it to top 12 candidates but not accepted yet. I'm in the waitlist. Hopefully some of those who are accepted will drop out and open a spot for me. I didn't get anything from USF though but I remember one professor from USF saying that they offer 15 admissions/year in order to get a starting class of 5 people because most people choose to go to other schools.

Hey Luna,
I am also in a similar situation. I applied to 10 I/O psychology programs as well. My stats are:
2 years of research experience

I didn't hear anything from any of the programs though. Do you mind disclosing which schools you've heard from?
