I was accepted to a master's program and waitlisted for a Psy.D. I think I could be happy at the master's program, but the school is less prestigious and I'd much rather leave the state. The Psy.D, I am indifferent about.

So for me, it's pretty much decision time now. However, there is one MA psychology program that I was really looking forward to applying to, as I feel it would be an excellent fit for me. This program is brand new and the director said the application deadline was not until June 1st, with no rolling admissions. (Even though every other program at the school has rolling admissions) So he and his faculty will not even glance at any applications until June. Other programs will want me to accept/decline an offer by April 15th. So this is pretty frustrating. The programs I've been accepted/waitlisted at are not my favorite, but I'd much rather be working on my masters so I can move on to Psy.D, rather than doing nothing for a year. This isn't the type of decision I want to gamble. Any advice/experience?
