  1. To everyone who hasn't heard from their schools or has been wait-listed: It's okay! I was wait-listed at 4 schools and I wasn't accepted until May. Then a month later, I was accepted to another school! There is still plenty of time! I've even heard of people who were accepted a week before classes started. From my experience, come up with a back-up plan in case you're not accepted this year. When you have a plan, you're not as nervous during your interviews (or at least I wasn't). I also suggest calling (and I mean CALL, not email!) schools who turned you down and ask what you could do to increase your chances of getting in next year. IF you do have to reapply, they will likely remember you and it will increase your odds for next time. If you've been wait-listed, call them! Find out who the best contact is, ask what number you are on the list, how many seats are taken/open, etc. Let them get to know you if you weren't able to meet them in person. I really think my calling those schools is what made them accept me. I had a terrible GPA (3.3 last 60) and mediocre GRE (148/152/3), but my experience was great! Once I got the chance to tell them about myself over the phone, they saw I was persistent and dedicated. I think it even bumped me down on the list! All you need is one school to say yes! Good luck to everyone!
