Today is a goooood day! I got off of the St. Xavier waitlist. Is anyone here planning on going there?

I believe that UT Dallas and University of Central Florida both do, but I don't know any details about it.

Thanks I'm going to send you a message.

I found out today that everyone who was selected from the SXU waitlist should have heard by Monday. There is still a chance that there will be a third round, but the person who I spoke to on the phone pretty much told me that if I had another option I should accept it...soooo, I guess that is what I will have to do. I know that I probably sound like a huge brat because of my other acceptances, but I can't help being really upset about it It is where I had pretty much had my heart set on going for about a year now.

Congrats on making your decision!

That is a hard one, leesta. You probably couldn't go wrong either way! I don't know that much about either school...but just based on what you said about them, I would probably lean towards SDSU if it was me...significantly cheaper, closer to your boyfriend (I think that is what you meant?), and still a really good program... On another note, is there anyone else on here who is still hoping to hear about the St. Xavier waitlist? The waitlist letter said "after April 20th"...I know that it has only been 5 days, but I am starting to lose any hope that I had about it.

I'm still waiting too...the original waitlist letter that I got said "after April 20", sooo I guess that I will hopefully know pretty soon.

I'm sorry :/

I have a random question for people who were waitlisted to a school...did your letter say something about letting them know if you wanted to be taken off of the waitlist? SXU's waitlist letter didn't mention that, which I thought was kind of weird. But maybe that is normal, and schools just expect that people will let them know if they decide on another school? I haven't given up on SXU yet...but since it wasn't mentioned in the letter I'm just really hoping that others will have decided on their own to do that, in the event that they have made another decision.

No problem! It's a really helpful site, and I would be interested to see what some of the people on there say about your question also

I don't have an answer to this, because I am starting grad schol next fall also...but I wanted to suggest that you also post this question on the speech pathology livejournal site. There tends to be a lot of people on there that are knowledgeable about this type of question http://speechpathology.livejournal.com/

Thanks for sharing that story. Things like that actually make me feel a lot better! I am thinking similarly to you. I am not totally giving up on St. Xavier yet...but in the very likely situation that I am not one of the beginning round people to get off of the waitlist (I will probably wait until early-mid May), then I am giving up on it and fully committing myself to my second choice. If that happens, I will just accept it as what was meant to happen, and assume that there is something great there waiting for me, educationally or otherwise.

I agree! I still have a school that I haven't heard from...and I'm no longer considering that school, so I'm not worried about it...but it is just really weird to me that these schools would risk losing students by not making their decisions until so close to April 15th, or even after that date. Congrats to everyone who has made a decision!

Good luck, you never know! I am still waiting in the off chance that I manage to get off the SXU waitlist, but I'm not expecting to. Sooo, I'm pretty sure that I am going to UT Dallas. I can relate to what you said about how you are getting excited for Northeastern, though. I'm working up my excitement about UTD

NorcalSLP...I saw your sig and I just wanted to let you know that I just recently turned down my Marquette offer...I hope that helps you!!
