Same; only heard back from 3/9 programs I applied to. Some of these were definitely reaches and are likely rejections, but most of these were my safety schools and I'd be a little surprise to not get into any. Hard to remain hopeful but it isn't over yet. Best of luck!

I haven't and the wait is killing me. I thought Pitt was a sure thing too due to fit, relevant published work, and LORs from profs with ties to Pitt. But I am still waiting on seven other programs so... Hoping there really is just an increase in applicants this year and admissions are a bit overwhelmed. Otherwise fearing these are soft rejects at this point.
