Is anyone attending the Brandeis interviews in February? Who got waitlisted and did they tell you you were in a "high spot" on it?? What does that mean? Am I number 1 out of 8 or number 10 out of 20?? Someone explain to me how the waitlists work. Also has anyone heard anything from UMass Amherst?

I'm late to this thread and I've already received most of my rejections and other responses, but I'm curious as to what you all think of my application. I applied to all schools that didnt require the GRE since my scores were low and it didnt work for me too well. So far I am waitlisted (in a high spot) at Brandeis University for their PhD, interviewed at University of Missouri St. Louis for their non thesis track masters in behavioral neuroscience, and am waiting to hear back from UMass Amherst.
