The M.A. with the psychological science concentration!

Ah we have very similar stats! I'm a current college senior (English/German/almost psych major with a 3.8 GPA; GRE was 165V 157Q 5W). Strong SOP and humanities research background but very limited psych research experience. Initials of targeted PI was CW but I also explained how I was interested in aspects of the work of like 4 other profs lol. I'm the poster who got accepted to Wake Forest with partial funding on Wednesday; I got an informal email from the director of the program and the official acceptance letter was emailed to me a few hours later. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do at this point; Wake Forest is my top choice but the idea of taking out a bunch in loans just for a master's when I'm planning to spend at least the next 7 years in school is not ideal for me (I'm planning to do a PhD in clinical/counseling psych but I'm interested in research). I was rejected from W&M, waitlisted at Villanova, I interviewed at U Dayton (and I'm still waiting to hear back on a final decision), and I'm interviewing at UNCW this weekend. Still waiting to hear back from CU Colorado Springs (though that doesn't look promising) and Ball State Clinical Psych. Good luck to everyone!! The waiting is truly terrible lol. I hate not being able to plan for the very near future/think about the prospect of ultimately not being able to go to any of the programs I applied to.
