F1 Visa --> OPT --> Back to Being a Student.......Would I go out of Status

[harry54321]

I am in urgent requirement of some help related to Status maintenance. Here is my situation:

I came to the US on F1 visa to do my MS program and after finishing the program I have been working on OPT. Now my OPT Extension Expires November 2014. But instead of continuing to work I want to go back to school do a Ph.D. I have spoken to few professors and they have agreed to offer me Ph.D. under their guidance. I am applying for Fall 2014 admission (August 2014).
But the issue is that my F1 Visa expires in June 2014. I am worried if I would need to get a new Visa altogether or do I just need an I-20 from the school to maintain my status.
Please let me know if you guys have info.

Thanks,
H
