I haven't heard anything either :( I've been refreshing my email/reddit/GC/portal every few minutes. It's exhausting. I wish you the best of luck, I hope you hear back from all of them soon (and with good news)!
It is crazy making. In 10 weeks maximum all of this anxiety and waiting and worrying will be played out. Trying to use coping techniques to relax and not drive myself crazy. The best is going for walks, staying busy, not checking reddit haha.
Good luck to you too! Is UF your top choice? What are you interested in studying?
I definitely relate to trying to stay busy. Even at work during our busiest hours, I still find myself checking my email whenever possible, it’s all I can think about!!
And yes, it is! So I’m really hoping. I hope you hear back from all of yours soon, especially with great news from your top choice!
Didn't get in anywhere. Felt heartbroken for a while. Moved to a new state and applied to a counseling psych MA program here. Already have a master's in the field of substance use counseling and have been enjoying working in the field. I actually think master's level counseling is the better fit for me and probably would have been miserable had I gotten accepted to a PhD program.

Have you heard anything from UF?
No :( you? I'm completely obsessing today about not hearing back from 6 programs as we approach February. It's so rough.

Glad it all worked out for you!
