For those of you who were accepted... does that mean you have heard from graduate admissions as well?

I haven't received any email from them yet and I'm getting a bit nervous. Anyway, here are my stats for those who asked:

I graduated undergrad with a 3.6 and a post-baccalaureate premedical program with a 3.6 as well. My GREs are V:500/Q:710 and I've had a lot of experience in health care over the last three years: Research Assistant at a children's hospital, volunteer at a hospital in various departments for 2 years, research assistant in structural biology lab for cancer research, research assistant for diabetes study and volunteer on a peds onc floor at a childrens hospital.

Nervous about the masters decision!
