slpsunite!

That is a bummer! I'm sorry to hear that : / Did you receive an email from them? I see some ppl have received emails and I haven't gotten anything yet! Just want to know for CSUEB so I can make my final decision!

Any word on Cal State East Bay?? The 15th of April is right around the corner!!

Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you! I was busy studying for a fluency exam!! I guess the speed of the program could be a negative factor depending on how well you deal with stress and pressure. Since the program is accelerated A LOT is expected out of you. We have one professor who is incredibly and unnecessarily hard, but every time I have finished taking a course of his I walk away with a sigh of relief and reflect on how much I've actually learned. During his courses, it sure doesn't feel very good though!! If anything, I think our facilities and faculty is one of our strengths. The facilities are very nice and well kept. Everything we use in our clinics is updated on a frequent basis and the children's clinic (off-campus clinic) is 5 minutes away from the main campus. In terms of being a CA school, it is pretty competitive. This year we had 330+ applicants and only 15 spots for the 15-month program and 15 spots the for the 24-month program. University of the Pacific was recently reaccredited-Our program has been here for at least 60 years. Being a private school, I really like that you get what you pay for. The professors are always available by home phone, office hours etc and make it a point to go out of their way for YOU. They realize you are paying a lot of $$$ and want to give you the best education out there. The school is challenging and demanding, but realistic. I like that our clinics are clean, up-to-date and we have tons of resources that we can use. If you want to get into research there are many faculty members who are willing to help you get started and mentor/supervise you as well. The professors here are incredibly intelligent and will push you, however they are also kind and humble. My advice to you in terms of attending University of the Pacific is this: If you go here you will not regret the education and experiences you will gain from this graduate school. They will give you the practical, theoretical, and clinical tools to use out there in the real world. There is something very special about this school. The city of Stockton, CA is far from the nicest or the safest, so that would be my main concern for someone looking to move here. However houses or dorms located near the school and nice neighborhoods are pretty safe! Since there is not much to do out here studying/distractions shouldn't be a huge issue for anyone concerned about noise etc! lol Hope this helped!

I am currently a senior in the undergrad program at The University of the Pacific and love it! It is VERY challenging and the course load is demanding! (but then again I assume grad school would be in general haha!) The Professors are amazing and are very helpful. Sorry if I am being generic, but it is truly a great program. I was accepted into the 15 month program and I'm 90% sure that I will attend Pacific. If you want me to answer specific questions, please ask away!

First of all, congrats to you both on all your acceptances!! I too, was accepted into UNM and am greatly considering going there. One thing I want to point out is that you must be careful what you read online ANYWHERE!! Most of the time you will either read reviews on schools that are in the extremes ie; "I LOVE it, or I HATE it", so that is something to take into consideration! Anyway, I am currently emailing a grad student in the program at UNM asking her a whole bunch of questions. I am probably annoying her by now lol, but I want to make sure I don't regret this big decision. People keep telling me to visit which I will probably end up doing as well! I have heard nothing but good things on my end here in CA though! Sorry I couldn't provide more "concrete" info on the program but I hope this sheds some light on the issue. Did any of you receive a scholarship of GA? Best of luck to you all!
