When did you apply? I sent mine in Nov. still haven't heard anything.

Hmm just checked my email and didn't get that message. When was it sent?

My freshman and sophomore grades were low but Junior year was a whole different story and it brought my GPA up quite a bit.

I'm in the same position as you. Will this affect how upper-division GPA will be calculated for schools that only look at upper-division courses? Will they judge just by Junior level courses?

FL schools also tend to accept more people in-state in FL, just like a lot of California schools.

Did anyone submit an abstract for SDSU?

It's probably the most expensive for Canadians applying to U.S. schools with the current conversion rate.

Have you got verified now? I've been waiting for the past week. I submitted transcripts and everything 2 months ago.

So I've heard mixed opinions about how to sound in the SOP. Some say not to sound too serious/formal since it won't make you stand out and others say being creative and letting your personality show is considered too informal and not mature. Any advice? Current grad students can you weigh in?

How long is your resume? Mine is going a bit over a page and a half...

So for your SOP did you only talk about the relevant experiences? I'm finding a hard time keeping my SOP concise.

Anyone applying to UT-Austin? The deadline is coming up...

Did you email it to UTD or the CD department?

I know! It's so hard to talk about all my resume experiences and personal experiences all within the limits of the SOP.

I'm applying to UTD also! Was just wondering how long your SOP was? I know there was no limit stated or anything. Also, last year's applicants were telling me they had to upload a resume... I don't see anywhere to do that though.

Was just wondering why you're sub GPAs are different for US and Canada? Do they have a different grading system in Canada?

I guess we could better help you out if you told us which schools you're interested in.

Is this concerning California schools? I heard they're extremely competitive for Canadians / out-of-staters.

There's very limited info on this forum and others... can anyone provide some feedback on this school's SLP program and their admissions?

@Kanga I also look on Edfind and see low GRE scores listed. *sigh* I think it all comes down to luck.

I am now freaking out...haha. My GRE scores are in the lower range

Would you consider your stats low by any chance? I thought applying early would be favorable to your admission...

Do you anything about U of Florida's SLP program? There's not much on their website or this forum...

Any Emerson applicants attend the info session this past weekend? I wasn't able to make it.

I am planning to take a computer science elective as a pass/fail course next semester and not having it count towards my GPA. I was wondering whether grad schools look down upon these courses that are pass/fail versus an actual grade? Since this is not a CSD or major course I am assuming it will be alright...
