I got accepted to UGA!!!! 

Do you all think it’s appropriate to reach out to schools we haven’t heard from or should I just wait it out?

Would you mind linking to the Reddit thread? I searched and couldn’t find it. 

It is very common! It is even common to have multiple interviews with non-POI faculty. 
I'll add what my interviews this season have been and are scheduled to be.
Indiana U: Interviews with 1 student and 3 faculty members (1 non-POI). Q&A session with multiple students and other prospective applicants
Ohio State: 30 minute interview with 2 faculty at the same time, 15 minute interview with current student
University of Wisconsin-Madison: Interview with 1 current student and 6 faculty members (4 non-POI), 2 info sessions and 1 current student Q&A spread across a whole day 9 am to 6 pm. 
University at Buffalo: 2 30 minute interviews with 2 faculty. 1 with top POI and another with chair of program (non-poi). My secondary POI is not interviewing me. Q&A session with current students. 
University of Cincinnati: 3 hour interview day with at least 2 faculty and 1 student, no info yet on who I am interviewing with. 
UMass-Boston: 4 hour interview day, interviews with at least 3 faculty and 1 student. No info on who yet. 
Kent State: 1 hour interview session with 2 faculty (POIs) and 1 student. 
 
I had my first interviews Mon-Wed this week (with Indiana spread across a few days since I can't attend the interview day). They were supposed to be 15 minutes but one went to an hour ! Just be yourself and ask good questions. They will spend most of the time talking if you ask good questions and follow-ups to show you are interested. That will show them more then their hard questions. 
Good luck with your interviews!

A grad student I know sent me this about grad school interviews and wanted to share it with others too! Good luck on your interviews and if you're still waiting to hear back, hopefully you'll hear something soon!

I’m nervous about schools I haven’t heard back from, too! Eek!!
I’m currently a school psych and have an EdS. It makes me nervous because I’m not coming straight out of undergrad! I think your experience as a teacher will only help you and make you an even stronger applicant. Teachers have an understanding of children and education that is so valuable! I know people who have went on to school psychology PhD programs successfully with so many different types of degrees. Don’t worry! (Easier said than done haha)
