  1. I just finished a statistics class online through Passaic Community College (New Jersey). Credits are really cheap, even for non residents. I think it cost me $200 total. Very manageable class.
  2. Is anyone here a current grad student? How many hours do you spend studying? I'm taking 15 credits my first semester in grad school. I've seen estimates of 3 hours outside of class studying per credit? So this means 45 hours outside of class studying?
  3. I'm 41 and was just accepted into my top choice program. It's never too late to pursue your interests and dreams! I think my non-traditional background and life experience helped me stand out from the crowd. Good luck!
  4. I live about 15 minutes from WP (though I have not toured the campus). Are there communities near campus that you're considering?
  5. Ha ha, anyone want to bypass care.com and work for me, babysitting my 3 kids? I'm in NJ:)
  6. Magoosh is great. Also, the Manhattan Prep books are really really good, and if you buy one, you get access to 6 scored online practice tests.
  7. I will be taking general ed classes required for eventual licensure (I need statistics and biology). Should be a challenge--I have 3 kids and they'll be out of school for the summer!
  8. I was also accepted at Montclair! By email this morning with letter to follow.
  9. I think Montclair's application deadline last year was March 1, so that might explain the April acceptances.
  10. I was looking at the results page and was surprised to see that someone was rejected by Montclair via email on 3/10?! I'm still waiting and checking the admissions portal every day. Nothing yet.
  11. -Make sure you understand and answer the essay question. -Tell how you will contribute to your chosen grad program. How does your unique perspective benefit your classmates, your class discussions, or a professor's area of research? This is also an opportunity to show you've researched the schools you're applying to.
  12. If you look up schools on Edfind, most list the actual range of GRE scores and GPAs of accepted students.
  13. This GPA emphasis is absurd. I'm not convinced that a 4.0 student would make a better SLP than a 3.4 student. When I see a lower GPA, I sometimes wonder if there are character-building circumstances behind it. Did a student need to work two jobs while getting that degree? We're they caring for a sick or disabled relative? Were they pursuing other interests besides comm disorders? Interests that might make them a more well-rounded person? The GPA range of accepted students at many programs according to Edfind is 3.3-4.0, so obviously some applicants with "lower" GPAs are getting in. Don't lose hope!
