Congrats to everyone offered admissions! We all know how competitive and challenging this process has been, so I am genuinely happy for you! I have received 5 rejection letters from Seton Hall (counseling), Suffolk University (clinical), U Texas at Austin (counseling), University of Miami (counseling) and Berkeley (social/personality). I've been preparing to take 1-2 years off to gain clinical experience in the field and then reapply for admission. Surprisingly, I was not discourage with the rejection letters, as I am a senior applying directly to Ph.D. programs. I applied to a great number of schools, but because I've only heard from 5 out of about 17 I figured at this point in the game I probably did not get in.
Today, I received an email from Rowan University's Clinical Ph.D. program informing me that I've been waitlisted. I am extremely grateful because this is clearly preferred news over a rejection letter. There is still hope! I thought I'd share.
Please, please, if you were offered admission to Rowan and plan to deny please do so ASAP.
