Anyone applied to Wake Forest MA Psychology?

I haven't seen a post about this program this cycle yet. Anyone?

I applied and haven't heard a peep out of them. I'd love to hear back soon as I was admitted to W&M already and want to put this decision behind me. Not sure if I should inquire with admissions or not?

I got a little inpatient and called them last week. They said we should hear back by the end of this week. Congrats on W&M, I heard that's a great program too! As for Wake, did you get any email/phone call from POI? I saw someone posted on the result page that they got an email for phone interview last week.

Wake Forest had been going through and offering acceptances. The first round probably isn't all out yet but most people who eventually accept the offer actually came in off the waitlist. Lots of people apply and then turn it down for PhD programs; people get in all the way through April.

Thanks you guys. I did not get any emails from Wake at all. I also applied to Villa, but I just turned that in at the end of Feb. Do most students admitted to Wake and Villa get full funding? W&M is fully funded with $13,500 annual stipend with 3-4 thousand in the summer. I'm curious to know if people are getting similar or better offers at Villanova or Wake? I'm trying to do some research in case I get into either Wake or Villa as well so I can make my decision quickly. There are so many differing posts about the funding numbers at Wake and Villa and I'd love to hear from people who have had offers from these schools either this year or in the past couple years.

Hey guys,

 

I am just curious about what you plan to do after MA? I am doing MA so that later I can apply for more competitive Phd programs.

 

Do you guys also have similar plans?

Psychick,

Same for me. I still have broad interests and wasn't comfortable committing to a specific line of research. Also, without a strong vision of what I specifically wanted to do, it was going to be hard to get into a good doctoral program. I think 2 more years of classes and research, along with a thesis, will have me ready for doctoral study in 2016.

Hey,

 

I'm on the wait list at Wake Forest, but I haven't heard anything in a while and I have to reply to another school by April 15 at the latest. Has anyone heard from them recently?
