Oh my goodness...thank you SO much for your reply. It is actually my first year applying, yes! I was actually thinking exactly what you suggested, but I didn't know if a Master's meant a significant amount to PhD programs or not. I will definitely apply again next year if the program I am waiting for doesn't work out.

Guys, I need help...I got accepted into a Master's program that is not offering any funding at all, and is quite expensive. If I don't get into any PhD programs, do you think it's worth it to do the Master's? Does it significantly increase my chances of getting into a PhD program? And will I be able to pay it back? I just worry about job prospects in psych and how to make it all work out... Also, for anyone who's wondering about SUNY Stony Brook, send me a pm.
