tayfray Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I e-submitted mine over two weeks ago and my GPA hasn't been calculated (I somehow missed the part of the FAQ that said the process could take up to four weeks). I'm trying not to think about it. On Friday (1/29) I was on the phone with CSDCAS and they told me they were working on applications submitted in the first week of January. watjubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abeja Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My CSDCAS info says that no apps have been mailed yet- and my GPA still hasn't been calculated, but I received an email from Emerson telling me that they had everything necessary now to begin reviewing my application...so maybe it was sent?

Emerson sent me the same thing before my application had been mailed from CSDCAS. I think schools have access to it as soon as you put the school name in the system BUT not all schools will look at it before it is mailed to them. Once it has been mailed you will see a date next to the school name in the results area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they don't get your materials until CSDCAS mails it out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at my Emerson account and they do at least have information about where my letters and transcripts came from. *shrug* It would be really nice if they did start processing stuff sooner than later.

SJS Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Where do I enter the information of "Applied to, accepted, rejected," so that it appears on my posts? I just saw this, you go to your profile, by clicking on the down arrow in the upper right hand corner by your name. Then, click on "edit my profile". On the next page, there is a "change signature" button on the left hand side. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayness54 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 WELL THIS IS FUN. I got an email from Pitt today saying they received my app from CSDCAS but that it is incomplete - they said they are missing my letters of recommendation. REALLY?! How is this possible CSDCAS? They have been submitted since Jan 10!! ELECTRONICALLY!!!! And after waiting ohhhh I don't know... 45 minutes? to speak with someone from CSDCAS, they urged me to tell all my schools that they can access this info online. Even though all the schools I applied to have assured me they won't even glance at my app until they have received everything FROM CSDCAS. ijfsdfawes;fidjawesd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did CSDCAS just screw up and send them an incomplete package? Yikes! What a horrible, horrible system. jayness54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayfray Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Anyone hearing anything back yet? Everyone that I know who is applying this season (in other fields) are already having interviews and getting decisions. I'm so anxious! Of course, I keep checking the "results" page obsessively, but that makes it worse, since a couple of people have heard back from GWU, which is one of the programs I applied to.

I had to talk to the CSD at Pitt, and I guess they had to call CSDCAS directly and access them from the website. What a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything yet :\ ... it is definitely nerve wracking. I think there is a forum on this website of SLP masters applicants from last years cycle - you might want to check that out. You can check the dates of all the posts and get a sense of when last years applicants started to hear back from some schools. I'll try and find the link and post it on here for you.

Ohh, I've already read that like 4 or 5 times all the way through. It kind of freaks me out when I get to the people who were still waiting in APRIL. I'm thinking the timing will be a little different this year, though, because a bunch of the schools are using CSDCAS for the first time instead of doing it the traditional way. 6 of my schools are CSDCAS.

I haven't heard anything, and I keep checking the "results" page as well. I had a miniature anxiety attack when I saw that someone from U of M applying for SLP was rejected. It didn't occur to me that it could have been a PhD candidate until I got home from work like two hours later, which of course it was... ha!
