  1. Has anyone heard back from Baylor? Are they going to be holding interviews? Have they held interviews? A few of my peers have shared that they have 2 messages pending on their message section in the GOBAYLOR GRAD portal but that they can't open them.. Anyone else? I don't, so I don't think that is a good sign.
  2. I got wait listed at TCU! GPA: 3.5 CSD GPA: 3.7 Languages: English Can we all share stats? If you got rejected I would really appreciate your stats too. If I don't get in I want to apply again next year. Also if you applied to the bilingual program? Do 20 people get accepted including the bilingual track? Who hasn't heard back from TCU?
  3. Hello, if my credentials are now in a different order and I don't have an interview does that mean I am out? How many applicants do they interview?
  4. Hi, you might be over thinking it. I am sure they are going to look more into it than putting our application in an excel spread sheet and sorting it from greatest to least. In example they care about your extra curricular activities, how many languages you speak, leadership opportunities you've been exposed to, clinical experiences, LOR, and many other things.
  5. I received a Self-Reporting GPA survey via email today. Is this the final part of the application? Does everyone receive this? Do they have interviews?
  6. Also keep in mind Fall 2016 has had the most applicants ever.. Multiple schools mentioned it in their info sessions or webinars that they have about 100-200 applicants more than usual. In November MGH had about 650 people who had started their application on CSDCAS, I don't know how many actually submitted. IMHO, your acceptance also highly depends on who looks at your application from the admission committee. Sometimes professors accept mainly 4.0 GPA 160 GRE students and realize their clinical skills are not strong. Second time around they accept 3.2 GPA with 145-150 GRE who show way more character in their SOP. Many schools are now adding interviews because of that...
  7. I did retake a few classes, would you recommend I email the school's I've applied to? Let them know I retook classes to improve my GPA?
  8. It is extremely low compared to my last 60 hours or CSD classes.. Anyone know why? My university transcript says my cummulative GPA is different.
  9. For grants and scholarships search on their websites. Getting a TA/GA position is just as competitive as getting in, having undergrad research or clinical experience helps. I've also noticed grants are given based on your undergrad GPA. Look at how many credits that specific degree is and how much the school charges per credit and try to figure out how big of a loan you need. Also the city.. Many times schools are located in the downtown areas which have higher real estates rate. If you live far from campus transportation ends up being expensive. If you can't pay out of pocket, look into a student friendly loan. Being in big debt after graduation can affect your short term goals. But remember, each school has their own formula/point system for everything... And maybe the people who look over your application are not interested in someone who has a 4.0 GPA 160 GRE.. But they want someone with more experiences that will bring different ideas into the research/in-house practice.
  10. Hi, this forum has no specific question or concern, it has a lot. After applying, the waiting game is very hard to play.. I have generals questions and curiosities about people with past experiences and general knowledge about slp grad programs. I've read old post that have a lot of information about when schools start sending out acceptance letters and on how many rounds they hold.. Texas state has accepted and rejected people until the second week of May.. What programs did you apply to? How many times have you applied? What's the best advice you could give to someone who hasn't started applying? How about to someone who is applying for the third time? Most competitive programs? What's your dream school? Do you want to get your masters where you're getting your undergrad? Why? Why not? Programs that accept high % of applicants? How accurate is ASHA EdFind? What programs are not on EdFind? What's your favorite food? Do you have any questions that you see no answer to on here? Ask and I will try my best to answer.. Or someone else will
