For those posting about UTD, it is a rolling admission process. I found my rejection via Galaxy about a week before I got the letter in the mail last year. It came very late, I want to say early May. If you do go there, finding affordable housing will be a challenge. The best bet might be the gay neighborhood around Oak Lawn Ave. Don't go west or north around Love Field, those are high crime areas. If you have a good amount of money, you can live in uptown or downtown Dallas. I understand a lot of students live in an area called the village. It is about 15 minutes northeast from Parkland Hospital without traffic. It's too bad they don't have some student housing, it is a tough area to find an affordable place to live.

Hi everyone, I applied my first-time last year to four programs; TCU, UNT, ACU, and UTD. I had an interview with ACU, but didn't get accepted anywhere. Round two; UNT, TWU, Texas Tech, UNM, Eastern NM, OSU, Fort Hayes State, Governor's State, Indiana State, and Central Arkansas. My best advice is to have a good GPA and strong GRE scores. Texas schools are competitive, as are the schools on the coasts. Inside of Texas, the south and west areas are not as competitive as the schools around DFW, Austin, and Houston. The surrounding states are less competitive (a relative term). Arkansas gives Texas residents in-state tuition. New Mexico will give in-state tuition for up to 6 hours, and after 1 year will give you resident rates even if you moved there to go to college fill-time. Oklahoma makes you pay out-of-state rates. I am still unsure about the others, but I think Indiana State will give the Midwest Coalition rate to any grad student. That is only a little more than in-state tuition. I really want to go to UNT. I did my leveling there and I know a lot of the faculty. Also, I love Denton. It's like Austin used to be before it got too big. Last year they only had 36 openings and over 500 applicants (I think I remember being told over 550 with 700 combined for SLP and AuD). The ASHA numbers differ from what I was told personally by 3 faculty members. My BS is from Purdue (years ago) but I want to stay in Texas. I only applied out-of-state because it's so competitive. I want to get in somewhere. I will wear 5 layers of clothes for a couple years if I have to. ASHA edfind seems accurate about 2/3rds of the time. My guess is often the department secretary fills out the survey and does not understand the process. I noticed many of the schools show 100 apps received and 20 offers then show the starting class size as 20 (example numbers). That can't be right. Not everybody accepted decides to go to that school. The number I hear is around 50% accept, but I am sure that varies by program. After looking at enough of them, I could tell pretty quickly which numbers were suspect. Pronounce, why did you apply to so many Texas schools? TCU offers all the students they accept a TA position automatically, and yet only 60% take it. I wish I had rich parents... I know a TCU grad student who is a TA. She said it dropped her tuition from 40k to 5k and she only works about 5 hours a week. Maybe I should have applied there again, but I don't think I am competitive. Last year they had 250 apps for 20 spots, and the clinic is beautiful...

Mine was lower too, by about 0.15 point if I recall correctly. It can be seen by viewing your completed application. It opens in a PDF and somewhere in the 10+ pages it is listed. I retook a couple classes. I am guessing it computed both the lower grade and the latest grade, not just the latest grade.
