I'm also anxiously awaiting decisions from this school. I called a few weeks ago and was told (by the secretary I assume) that decisions would be out the first week of April. So I'm hoping for something any day now.

East Tennessee...was told they should be sending out decisions first week in April so I'm checking my email nonstop! lol

Believe me I completely understand where you are coming from. I've been waitlisted for two schools and am awaiting a third decision. The middle of April could not come soon enough. It's REALLY difficult to stay positive especially if you've been rejected in the past (as I have been for two application seasons thus far). I'm thankful to have been waitlisted so at least I know I have the potential to get in, it just depends on if I make the cut or not. When I first got the thought in my mind to begin this adventure of becoming an SLP (5 years ago), I never imagined it would be so competitive and involve such an agonizing wait. Easier said that done but try to keep thinking happy thoughts!

Many congrats! I wish I would have applied this year considering I just finished the 2nd Bacc program last year. Oh well...may I ask your stats?

Nothing hurts more than a rejection...waitlist status is just keeping some hope alive. Some fortunate few get picked up off the waitlist so it ain't over til it's over! Hang in there

That is just awful, so sorry

So I looked back through the WCU admission results and it looks like some people posted their rejection status from which they were notified yesterday. I'm going to assume if you didn't get an email then you're still a waitlist/potential candidate....? **fingers & toes crossed**

Haha yea it's nice to be somewhat desirable

May I ask about your experience as an SLP-A...as in what were you able to do? Full-time? Etc?

Yea waiting on SIUC is so frustrating...should have heard something by now, ugh! I called last week and the week before so I don't wanna keep calling but I was under the impression all decisions (good or bad) would have been out by now.

I'm in the same boat as being "waitlisted." Soo nervewracking b/c this is my top choice school. I need to know soon if I'm getting into school this year or if I should start job searching again. Thank you to those people who have notified the school about turning down an acceptance. Although I really hope a spot goes to me (lol), either way I hope they go to well-deserved students.

You've got some great choices there...may I ask your stats? Unfortunately for me the GRE is definitely my downfall

Thank you SpeechyKelly...great news for you and hopefully my time will come sooner than later. May I ask what your out of field exp. is in?

Just throwing in my 2 cents about how absolutely emotionally draining this whole process is. Never in my life have I ever wanted to be in school so badly. Even though I know the grad school road ahead is a tough one...not being in school and feeling my life wasting away is even worse. I'm going to be 28 this summer and I was hoping to be done w/ grad school by age 30 (just my own personal timeline). Of course life isn't perfect. I was an out of field student (psych degree) so I began USF's post bacc turned 2nd BS Communication Disorders program. I completed this degree last summer. I applied to numerous grad schools since 2010 as an out of field student. This was my first application season having the actual degree. I have been rejected and waitlisted in the past. This whole waiting game is the most agonzing thing to endure ever! Not to mention the GRE is my nemesis so my stats aren't superb but I have excellent work experience and a decent GPA. Has anyone else heard from Southern Illinois University? I was told notifications would go out starting last Monday and I have yet to hear anything. Applied: UNI, SIUC, ETSU, WCU Waitlisted: WCU (assumed) Rejected: UNI
