What branch of psychology are you looking to get your PhD in? Whether you need more non-psych science courses may depend on that. If you are considering a neuro or biopsych program, I would think that more science courses could be helpful. If you are considering a social program, I would see them as less crucial. I took only a basic bio course and an astronomy course for science classes during undergrad. I was accepted to social or ed psych programs at Wisconsin, Michigan, and Stanford.

Ah, yes. I see how that could have been unclear, sorry. Stanford.

I was on the waitlist and received a rejection about a week ago...

I heard via an email from a faculty member that I am on the waitlist at Stanford.

I received an acceptance email from a professor two days ago (I'd communicated with him via email and phone a few times) and then received the official email from the department today. DAPS program.
