Yay! Congrats! You really can't go by dates and think you won't be accepted if you don't hear by a certain point. I got an acceptance shortly after you originally posted too, and I had been giving up hope before I heard. I guess all you can do is keep waiting until you hear from everywhere.

I applied to the somewhat related Neuroscience program and haven't heard anything at all. I know they had an interview weekend (at least for neuroscience) and I know that someone's been waitlisted for the program. So they've obviously made some type of decision. Maybe they're just slow all around at notifying people.

Thanks guys! I got into the Social/Personality Psyc program at Texas!!!

Well, I just got an acceptance email! I just can't believe it.. I'm shaking. I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to get in anywhere and it's to one of my top schools. Good luck to everyone else! I hope all of your dreams will come true!

Congratulations! See, this thread, gives me hope! Even if it's not your first choice, at least it should give you hope that you're wanted and worthy for a PhD in what you want to do. Good luck with your decision! I really love coming in here to see people getting their acceptance!

I keep on thinking of everyone in here. I'm wishing for the best for everyone and that the acceptance letter is on its way. Don't give up yet!

Well, I finally broke down and contacted my POI after not hearing anything at all. It sounds like I'm essentially waitlisted, but they may not have an official waitlist (I haven't been accepted, but I haven't been denied yet, whereas others have). So if anyone has been accepted to Florida and does not want to go, please let them know whenever possible.

Haha.. that's how I feel too. Some days are much more optimistic than others. The main reason I'm not too optimistic about my others schools is because I know acceptances/interviews have gone out already. And for the schools I interviewed at, there are funding issues. I just want it to be done with too, but it seems to be dragging on forever.

Just keep studying, and I'm sure you'll be able to raise that. I took a practice Kaplan test without studying or anything and that's about what I got on my first practice test. I dedicated the summer (along with a part-time internship) to studying, and I was able to raise my score to a 1210. Math is really important in psychology, so if that's your weakness try to work really hard on that (and if possible, take a class or get a tutor). You are going to need to raise the score, even if you're going for a masters. Generally, (at least what my psyc grad school prep teacher told me) to get into a Psyc masters program, you have to have at least a 1000 GRE score. Don't give up with studying for the GRE! It takes a lot of time and dedication, but if you're able to put in that time, you'll see a raise in your score and a better chance of getting in.

I haven't gotten in anywhere, and I'm losing hope with each day. I still have 5 schools that I haven't quite heard from, but I'm not too optimistic. Who knows.. I guess it's not time to give up hope until getting the official word. Good luck!

Did you try checking in the results to see if people have heard from the program yet? I don't think it's a necessary no if people have, but it'll at least give you a better idea. I think some schools send out replies a little later, but who knows. You can try calling or emailing if you really want to know, but they should eventually give you an answer... hopefully.

Congrats on getting in! I heard that they were supposed to meet and decide on Tuesday (I'm pretty sure for all sub-sections), so I'm thinking at this point that I didn't get in. Still, it's good to hear from someone who did.. thanks for letting me know!

To the person who got accepted to Florida, would you mind telling me your POI? Feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Yeah, that's what happened to my brother. He actually never heard back from the graduate school at the undergraduate institution that he was attending. But he had already received an offer from an Ivy league school that he wasn't going to refuse, so it didn't matter anyway. If you don't hear though, don't hesitate to ask. You paid the application fee and spent the time going through the application process, you deserve an answer one way or the other.

Oh, I know. I get way too many emails every day when at this point all I really care about is grad school updates. Every time I get an email I jump up, hoping that it's something, but it hasn't been any great news for awhile.
