I just officially declined my spot of Austin, hopefully you're high on the wait list!

I heard back from my first program today - I've been accepted at Ohio State University! 
How's the process going for all of you? Any news?

I received an email saying I got a phone interview with Case Western on 1/20! Very happy! 
 

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!
