natnro Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is anyone else applying for mostly distance programs? I applied for 3 of them and have yet to hear. Plus one campus program within a reasonable distance. Let me know if you applied to Western Kentucky, East Carolina, Eastern New Mexico, or Northern Arizona. ECU is supposed to send decisions this week but I am just curious if anyone has heard from the other programs. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slplivin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I just received a call from Texas Christian University. I was accepted with a Graduate Assistantship that will pay for more than 80% of my tuition. I am in shock! Hard decisions to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to Northern Arizona but I haven't heard anything back yet. Were you able to tour the campus or talk to anyone in the department? I wish I would have had the money to fly to all the schools I applied to to do that. As more of a general question do you think the people who do that have a higher chance of getting accepted?

sbb32 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hello, I am currently a junior and am in the process of looking at Speech Pathology graduate programs to apply to starting next fall. I currently attend the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and have an in major GPA of 3.96 and a out of major GPA of a 3.93. I am taking the GRE this summer. The schools that I have looked at and would love to be accepted to are University of Washington, George Washington University, Rush University, University of Minnesota, and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I am worried that my goals might be too high and that there are going to be plenty of very qualified applicants who apply to these programs too. I don't know what these programs look for in applicants that they accept to their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natnro Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I did my post-bac classes through NAU so I have interacted with some of the staff but I don't think a school would give preference to a student just for coming to tour. They get so many applications and most likely wouldn't match a name with a face unless you did an actual interview. Just my opinion. Flagstaff is a beautiful place, though, and I would recommend it for grad school. I live 45 minutes away so I would be commuting. I am getting so impatient to receive some results!

I have also applied to NAU but for the summer program, being a current student do you know how many people apply for the summer program? Is it a lot? And do you know when we will start to hear news? I am also so anxious!! Thanks! Edited March 5, 2015 by jenbugg86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what these programs look for in applicants that they accept to their program. Your GPA's are really good! Not every school focuses strongly on just GPA and GRE schools though. Some schools look at the applicant as a whole. My advice would try to be involved, join a NSSLHA chapter. And also volunteer a lot. It shows that you're really interested in the field.

natnro Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The statistics are good for getting into the summers only program. I don't know your scores or history but they take 58% of applicants, which is so much better than the full time program or the other schools I applied for. Initially, that's the program I was hoping for but I couldn't get part time speech employment in the small town where I live. I have no idea when they are sending out decisions but the wait is making me (and my husband and kids) crazy! Good luck to you! I had a friend who went through that program and loved it.

onedayslp Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I just got an email from CU Boulder inviting me to an open house for accepted students... but I haven't been accepted. Anyone else get this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmfl9 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 onedayslp, I got this too! I was very confused, and then a little bit later I got an email with a decision letter saying I was accepted!!! Definitely made my day. No mention of funding though...on their website they said funding letters accompany decision letters so does this mean I didn't receive funding? Hmm.
