I feel the same way, though at least I know 3 of 4 schools I'm waiting on are only just starting to release acceptances, or haven't yet. It's UVA that is really killing me since they presumably notified admits 3ish weeks ago and I've still heard nothing.
Every time I tell my partner about a rejection she feels bad for me and I have to insist its OK because at this point, I just want to know where I'm going to end up and every rejection just narrows down the possibilities further.
It looks like you have some acceptances, at least. So, that's good!

I have heard from 3 out of the 4 schools I applied to, and am thinking about just making a decision now. I have no idea when I'll hear from the 4th place and may give up on it, so that I can make a decision.

In my experience, something to think about is that programs care as much about where you are going (in terms of your interests and research), as they care about where you've been academically. That is, they want you to have the background, languages etc for your stated goal to seem logical and achievable. But, they seem to also especially care about whether your academic goals fit with their program, professors, field, etc.

I got into Iowa! YAY! Apparently my POIs were "deeply impressed" with my interview.
Wahoo! Congrats!

Has anyone heard from University of British Columbia?

Got my emailed rejection from Princeton today. I tried to post on results, but it's not working.

Do you mean Princeton Theological Seminary or Princeton Department of Religion?
I don't know about Princeton Theological Seminary, but for Princeton Department of Religion I was told that the professors submitted their finalists to the graduate school early last week and am expecting we should hear back from them sometime this week or next week. Here's to all of us keeping our fingers crossed...
I was asking about the Dept of Religion. Thanks for the info! I hope we hear soon.

Not sure, but I don't think Religion, Ethics, Politics does at least.
Thanks!

Does anybody know if Princeton does interviews for (all) potential candidates for Religious Studies? If I haven't gotten one, does that mean I'm out? It doesn't look as if anyone has heard from them yet...

SFSU also has a good MS in Clinical Psychology program.

I’m not sure where you got this idea. I don’t know about every department, but as a whole, Brown is very well known and respected. People definitely know it’s Ivy League. And, at least in some departments, there is significant collaboration with Harvard and Yale, as wells as the other Ivies.
