Hi, everyone! First post this year.
I applied to Stanford, Berkeley, UCSF, WashU, UCLA, and Oregon State  Got interviews for UCLA, Stanford, UCSF, and OSU so far. Accepted into OSU and WashU, UCSF, and an unofficial yes from UCLA POI. Since I'm seeing some folks get rejections and worrying about silence from schools, I wanted to share to anyone interested where I was last year. As you can see from my profile name, I applied last year for the Fall 2016 cycle, to pretty much all the same schools as this year (replace Stanford with UMich). I got interviews at Michigan but ultimately was rejected from there and each of the other schools. It was a HUGE bummer.
Don't worry this cycle is definitely not over for those of you who haven't been accepted somewhere yet! You can find out all they way in April.
But if you DO get rejected from all the schools you applied to, like I did last year, please know that things can turn around. I tried again, and have heard good things from every school except Berkeley which is radio silence (and I didn't have a good research fit there). WashU is my dream school and I got in on the second try. Y'all can too. Last Spring I met with someone I would have loved to work with at one of the schools and asked what I could have done differently. I changed those things, and voila! Get feedback, talk to people, you got this. 
Stay positive! No rejection is a death sentence!

Could you share with us any feedback that you received on your applications that helped you get in to so many more schools this time around? UCLA is my top. And thank you for the words of wisdom!!

I assume you took the computer-administered test, right? If so, you should definitely receive your score report before December 1st - this will tell you your AWA score as well as all of your rankings. My understanding is that most programs accept self-reported scores in order to begin processing the application, as long as they receive the official scores from ETS not long after the deadline. If a program's website says that they must have the official ETS report by the deadline, it's still worth reaching out to the DGS to see if they'll still look at your application.
Oh, and make sure to check your ETS account daily to see if your scores are ready - for some reason, they didn't send me an e-mail notification about them until the day after I discovered they were ready. Good luck!

I think they will post your scores online by 25th. Don't stress out so much about it. They understand the time constraint and they always try to post the results as soon as possible. So, keep your fingers crossed and wait till 25th. When you get the scores online, download the PDF report and upload it to your application. The admissions office will understand that your score from ETS is on the way and ;et your application through. Stay strong my friend, it will be fine.
