While you are waiting to hear back. Have you considered looking into schools accepting second round (late) applications. Many schools such as Washington State University and North Dakota State University will post graduate student positions they haven't been able to fill to APA message boards and on their websites. These are often good positions with funding that did not meet the right applicant, specifically someone interested in the PI's research area, during the first round of applications. If you are broke from your previous applications, I would still contact the PI you are interested in and ask for an application fee waiver. Sometimes they will find a way to help you if you seem like a good enough fit. Best of luck going forward!

Have you considered applying another school such as North Dakota State University which are accepting second round (late) applications? Many of them post their unfilled positions on both APA message boards and the school's website. Best of luck going forward!

Have you looked into psychology research PhD programs doing second round (late) applications? Many programs such as the ones at North Dakota State University and Washington State University re-post the positions they did not get filled by the main set of applications. These positions are usually posted to APA boards, as well as the school's website. I know that both of these programs attempt to supply tuition waivers and stipends to all of their students. Depending on what type of research you did for your MS/MA you may be eligible for a waiver for having to restart that portion of the program. In other words you could finish the program in 3-4 years. Which I understand, the two schools I am giving an example of are more rural which does not appeal to everyone. Best of luck going forward!

Graduate student (Ph.D.) opening in the NDSU Mind, Body & Baby Prenatal Health Lab begining Fall 2019. Lab Description: The Mind, Body & Baby Lab is directed by Clayton Hilmert, Ph.D. The lab is dedicated to examining interactions among the mind, body, and environment as they pertain to health and health-related outcomes. Our primary focus is on how stress affects pregnancy. We apply social psychological methods to help us determine who is most susceptible to the effects of stress on health and how these effects can be attenuated. We consider how stress affects the functioning of the central, autonomic, neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and immune systems to better understand how stress impacts health. Current projects include the effects of stress and stress reactivity on blood sugar metabolization during pregnancy and the the Healthy American Indian Pregnancy Project. For more information about the lab go to: https://hilmertlab.com/ Program Description: The NDSU Department of Psychology doctoral programs are designed to produce graduates with strong research skills who will be competitive in the academic job market as well as in public and private applied research settings. The programs include coursework to provide a solid grounding in the content of one's chosen area as well as in research methods and statistics, laboratory experience in an apprenticeship model of research training, and teacher training which culminates in the students' preparation and teaching of their own courses.
