Another Update

Social psychology:

3 - Losing hope (based on other people having interviews/offers)
1 - Wait list (little chance)
1 - Short list
1 - Phone interview
1 - Unofficial acceptance
3 - No news

Marketing:

1 - Onsite interview
1 - Phone interview
1 - Acceptance!
4 - No news

The marketing acceptance happened last night.  I've been offered an extra stipend to attend the program (increasing the stipend about 37%).  It's in a large, semi-expensive city so the additional money is especially welcome.  I am well pleased.

I almost had a heart attack this morning (OK, not literally, but my heart did seem to stop for a moment) when I heard a person in my program (Overachieving P.) telling his advisor that he's been admitted to my #1 psychology program and that they are putting him up for a fellowship, while I've heard nothing.  Of course, with a marketing admit in hand, I am less concerned about my psychology program outcomes.  Anyway, later today I found out that he applied to developmental, not social (though many of his other apps are in social) so it has no implications for me.
