They sent out an email saying that they gave all decisions on Feb 28 but some students say they didn’t receive notice. I’d definitely reach out to them because you should have heard by now!

Hi there! I also got into these two schools and I just made my choice. I picked NYU (my alma mater)! Aside from super personal reasons (like living in NYC, wanting to work in NYC later in my career, the ability to keep working in my research lab at NYU, my inability to drive in and survive upstate weather haha), I think what cemented the choice for me was the courses that NYU offers. While I definitely want ample experience with medically fragile patients, I don't necessarily want it to be the star feature of my education. I like that NYU has a good spread of electives that can give me experience with speaking voice remediation/vocal performance, ASD, linguistically diverse populations, and children. I can appreciate how NYMC's breakneck speed gets you through the program super quickly (one of the reasons I applied) but I do like the opportunity to take different courses with different people and personalize my degree to my interests.

Maybe it would be helpful to find out if they sent out decisions yet? Perhaps you can call (or have a friend call) and see if they’ve sent out letters. If they have and you haven’t gotten anything, then I would go forward with emailing the admissions counselor. If they haven’t sent anything out, maybe find out when they plan on sending things out and wait until then.

Also got my acceptance email to New York Medical College!

Just got my acceptance email from NYU!!!

No worries! When I went to the NYMC open house, they said that they weren’t doing interviews. I also heard someone called and said they would be sending out letters towards the end of this week. Ahh!

I don’t think NYMC is doing interviews this year. Not sure about NYU either.

I haven’t heard back from NYMC or NYU yet but judging by threads from past years, I don’t think we’ll be hearing from NYMC until around March 14th or so.

So I just got an email now requiring an electronically proctored writing sample for SUNY New Paltz. It seems like it’s required for everyone. We need to sign up for a proctoring slot by tomorrow 2/27 noon and then do the sample in any 60 min period from Friday 3/2 at 6:30am to Monday 3/5 at 10:30pm. You don’t get to see the prompt until starting. I’m really surprised that they didn’t announce this sooner! It’s not even on the website in the application timeline. So if anyone applied to New Paltz, check your emails!

Thank you so much for your insight! I did my post-BA at New Paltz and I adored it. Glad to see they're just as supportive and knowledgeable at the grad level!

Hello everyone! I’m just wondering if anyone who has experience with these schools could shed some light on what the SLP programs at New York Medical College, NYU, and SUNY New Paltz are like. Are you satisfied with placements, professors, training etc. Thank you!!

Just in case anyone around this time is worried about verification. I submitted my transcripts and official gre a few months before my first deadline of 1/1. I submitted my first app ON 1/1 because it was an orange "complete" deadline. I submitted at 9pm and it said "received" then at 11:25pm it said "complete". This morning, 1/4 CSDCAS verified my application. Perhaps it helped that while I was inputting my coursework, I circled all my questions on the official (3) transcripts I was using, then called CSDCAS and had someone pull up my transcript on their side, and asked them very specific questions (for some questions I even called a couple of times to confirm information, CSDCAS has been on speed dial for months). So definitely not 4 weeks for me, and even less than 4 days. DON'T BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME AND SUBMIT THINGS LATE (but also if you are, maybe things won't go terribly, irreversibly wrong?) Just thought I'd offer my experience in the ongoing survey of CSDCAS turnover time.

Oh sorry it's been forever since I've been on here. The class was really great! Pretty easy too (mostly just rote memorization and being a thoughtful participant in discussions)! You could tell it was made for people who weren't bio majors. I highly highly recommend it.

I finally feel like I can post on this thread having just finished the GRE! Where are you applying? I'm applying to four schools: New York Medical College, SUNY New Paltz, College of St. Rose and NYU on campus. Where are you from? NYC born and raised! What are your concerns? I'm worried that I'll get edged out by NYC competition and get rejected from all my schools! I have a back up plan for a reapplication year but I'd still like to start grad school sooner rather than later. I'm also feeling some floating anxiety about CSDCAS and deadlines. Cummulative GPA: 3.53, last 60: 4.0 Post-BA: 4.0 GRE: 162V 151Q still waiting on AWA Experience: Working on a research team on a classroom based literacy intervention, administering the CELF, PLS, and Woodcock to Pre-K and K, counselor for a selective mutism camp. Good luck everyone!!

SUNY New Paltz listed their GRE and GPA of accepted students and the AWA range went from 3.0-5.0 so at least one person got in there with a 3.0!

Hey all! My GRE is about a week away and I am in panic city. My practice tests have my quant score at a 147-153 and my verbal score at a 167-169. I'm wondering if my verbal can make up for what might be a quant score a little below 150. The rest of my application should be okay (hopefully) with a 3.53 undergrad and a 4.0 last 60 and 4.0 CSD along with unique, relevant experience, great LORs, great personal statements. I'm mainly looking at SUNY New Paltz (where I did my post ba) and New York Medical College. Any success stories/insights/words of advice are much, much appreciated.

I second Pjeak's point! I'm working on a university research team. My job is to go around the city and meet with teachers to help them implement our PI's storytelling intervention. A few times a year, I go into all the classrooms and observe and administer language/self-reg assessments to the kids to see if the intervention has yielded any particularly positive outcomes. So it's not direct SLP work but I get to talk about how much I enjoy classroom-based intervention in underserved school communities! So don't be afraid to go for unconventional experience if it will mean something to you and give you something to talk about in your letter/interview.

Hey all! Can anyone currently in the program share their experiences a little bit? I understand that the classes are "live" but I'm wondering how exams work and how supported you feel in the program! Any information would be super helpful!

I definitely feel you on the pains of finding work clothes that aren't super pricy! I don't know if you have one near you but Burlington Coat Factory/Marshall's/TJ Maxx is where I get my work/clinic clothes! They have a lot of Calvin Klein and Tahari clothes super cheap (and even some comparable knockoffs). I'm not in grad school yet but at the lab, school visits, and observations, I usually go with slacks (ankle/capri cut for warmer days), close-toed shoes, and a top that's not jersey T-shirt material but also not necessarily button down either. I'd also say make use of cardigans as they immediately formal up an outfit!

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone knows what reapplying to NYMC is like. Are applicants allowed to reapply the next cycle after being rejected? Do they have to explain how their application is improved now? Has anyone reapplied to NYMC successfully?

Does anyone know if Speech@NYU (online) offers the NYS Certificate for Teachers of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities?

Hey everyone! As I'm researching schools for my grad school spreadsheet, I notice that LIU Brooklyn's speech path program has been put on probation by the CAA. Here's what it says on the website: "The master’s of science program in speech -language pathology at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus has been placed on probation by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2200 Research Boulevard, #310, Rockville, MD 20850, 800-498-2071 or 301-296-5700. A program on probation is not currently in full compliance with the accreditation standards. Programs on probation remain accredited but must demonstrate compliance with the standards within one year." What does this mean for people who are enrolled in the program or looking to apply? Is this going to impact getting one's CCC afterwards?

Oh man, that's a lot to deal with! If I were you, I'd probably try to stick out the rest of the application process and shadowing/observing. Keep applying because it's always good to have a back up plan! And while you're observing try to think about what it is about this field that you won't like and don't want. I think anything you can learn about yourself through your experiences (even if it's that you don't like what you're observing) is super helpful and worth learning. As someone who frequently wonders if big decisions are actually phases, I'd recommend writing down your thoughts so you can revisit them when you aren't feeling as intensely or forget why you were feeling a certain way. What process/schooling would you need to go through to pursue computational linguistics and research? Would it require pre-req classes? My heart goes out to you, friend. Life is stressful but you seem rather determined and resilient!

Thanks for your answer! In terms of people from the SLP field, I have one practicing SLP who I'm interning/observing under and one last post-bacc semester to try to connect with a professor. It's possible that a professor from my 2016 summer semester could write for me but it was only a two month course and we haven't spoken since it ended. Sigh. Hopefully a 4.0 in my post-bacc shows how well-suited I am for this field! Does anyone think the SLP intern supervisor could be a better letter than the bio professor who reached out to me? Did anyone here get into a school without an SLP professor letter?

Hey all! Just for reference, I have a 3.53 in my 1st BA (psychology), have yet to take the GRE, and a 4.0 in my post-bacc. I plan on apply to schools next year and matriculating in 2018. I've got experience administering language and self-regulation assessments to preschoolers for my language development research team and working with selectively mute kiddos. I currently started observing under an SLP who I also help with private practice management. For my letters, I have a psychology professor who taught me for a year, supervised my practicum with selectively mute children, and who gives me stella recommendations for everything I need. I can also ask the professor of my research team because she will have known me for over 2 years by the time I apply and she liked me enough to hire me after I graduated (but I was never in any of her classes so she can't speak for me academically). I don't really have a third letter thought out yet but in my online bio course (which is very discussion/written assignment heavy) my professor emailed me personally and told me what a fantastic student/writer I was and offered to write me a letter if I needed it. I was super surprised and her interest in me was really unexpected. I'm trying to decide whether to pick this bio professor for a letter or this SLP that I started observing/interning under? I was thinking maybe use the psych professor, bio professor, and research employer for schools that require two academic letters? Is it awful if I'm out of field with a post-bacc but no SLP professor letters? Thank you all for your time!
