I hope that y'all are getting the good news you're hoping for! The waiting is stressing me out, but I've received the following application updates so far:
USC (MSW/PhD) - Invited to campus visit day as finalist for PhD, accepted to MSW
Ohio State (MSW/PhD) - Accepted
UCLA (PhD) - On waitlist after Zoom interview
UT Austin (PhD) - On waitlist, no interview
Columbia (PhD) - Rejected
From what I've been told, it seems like the GRE will be the aspect of your application that has the least effect on whether you'll be admitted. It seems like you have some great research experience and your publications, SOP and letters of recommendation will all strengthen your application. I know that it can be easy to get caught up in feeling like an impostor while you wait and wait and wait to hear back from these programs, but every applicant will have weaknesses and a less-than-great score on 1 section of the GRE does not sound like a major weakness to me. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi everyone! I'm glad that this thread has started.
@Clabarr55 I've applied to 7 schools (though no overlap with your list) and have not heard back from any.
@LisaOh I see that you applied to UCLA - can you remember from the info session when they said that people would start to hear back about interviews?
