I received an e-mail from Nova Southeastern University today. I am invited for an interview! That's the first I've heard back from any schools yet so I was excited!

Oh man, my applications are all submitted.. now the waiting process.. I know I won't hear anything for probably a month but I'm still freaking out and checking my e-mail constantly. Did you do a post-bachelor program or complete any of the pre-requisits in communication sciences? I can relate to the feeling of "being on the lower end with everything.." My undergrad GPA was really low.. it's canadian grading system so I'm not sure exactly but it was just under a 3.0 but when I took all the courses at wayne state, my GPA was 3.82.. The GRE was tricky.. not sure what a competitive score is.. Most of the schools that I applied to said "anything above 50th percentile is competitive".. I got 161 on Verbal and 153 on Quant.. and 4.0 AW How do yours look? Have you done lots of volunteering? I've spent some days observing audiologists in hospitals and clinics which was really helpful in reaffirming my decision to apply to the AuD program..

Hey CA, FINALLY! It feels like nobody else is applying to Audiology so I'm glad I found your post. I completed an undergrad in a completely unrelated field (French, I'm from Ontario, Canada) and then went to Wayne State University to complete all the prerequisite courses in communication sciences and disorders. I fell in love with Audiology and am in the process of applying right now for fall 2013. You're right, it is stressful! I am applying to Wayne State University, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Nova southeastern, as well as Rush and Northwestern (which are both long shots.. very tough to get into). I had more schools to begin with as well, but it began to get expensive and extremely time consuming.. Are most of your deadlines already passed? Some of mine were January 1st, and then January 15th and February 15th..
