They haven't said anything to me about other applications if that's what you mean. I know you're really anxious to hear back, but there's not much you can do. You may still be in the running, you may not, you gotta just give it some time. I'm betting you'll know in the next two weeks. At this point, I personally have assumed that if I haven't heard back from a place that I'm either rejected or wait listed. 

@pinoysoc I know, UPenn is sooooooo quiet, I'm so anxious to hear from them. 
Looks like Princeton acceptances are happening, I'm guessing I should prepare for the worst since I haven't heard anything. Also, be sure to check your spam folders everyone, my Davis letter was in there (rejected on the basis of poor fit/not enough faculty to support my specialization).

Hey everyone,  I've been lurking for weeks and decided to join in. So far, I've gotten into Penn State, Boulder, and Temple.  I've been rejected from Brown and UMN Twin Cities. I've interviewed at Irvine. I'm mainly waiting to hear back from UPenn, Princeton, and UCLA, but I also applied to Arizona, Amherst and Davis and have yet to hear anything. This process is ridiculous. I'm trying to decide between Penn State and Boulder right now, I know the former is a better ranked program but living there sounds like a nightmare. They are courting me pretty hard though, the grad director has called me a few times and she's offered to send my partner's resume around, plus they have sent me all this info about housing and grad life. I haven't talked to anyone at Boulder, just the acceptance and invitation to the recruitment weekend. Anyways, good luck to everyone, I hope you are able to find happiness at the end of all of this.

I feel your pain.  I am also a primary caregiver of 3 young children.  I've also been accepted no where yet (2 rejections and 4 still pending).  I think most people that get accepted are young, and without children.  Probably you chose where you applied to with the expectation that you couldn't move, yes?  I can't move, so applied to literally every program in my geographic area.  Most young people that are unattached can apply to the program that is a perfect fit for them because they can relocate.
 
I think your GRE scores are fine, because I've seen a bunch of people get accepted to schools with much lower.  I really think it's about showing off to the committees with your LORs, writing sample, and statement of purpose.  Plus, in the end--if you get rejected--you will have no idea why.  It could be the phrasing of one sentence in your writing sample--who knows.
 
I can't just be GRE scores that are causing some people to get accepted to many schools at once.  My advice to you--because I'm going to do the same if I get accepted no where--is to flat out call or email one of the schools and ask them how you could have done better (i.e., how you could have gotten accepted).  You'd have nothing to lose.

This post moved me, and I am frustrated by the obstacles that we, in a structural sense, allow parenthood to create. I also deeply admire your grit, courage, and perseverance. I am currently involved in motherhood penalty-related research, and WOW does your situation hit home, especially "I guess I thought from an ideological standpoint, the ONE place that would be supportive of a working mother would be a Sociology dept but alas, nope nope nope."
I obviously don't have influence in the outcomes of this app cycle for you, but I do have tremendous respect, admiration, and frustration for your situation.
