Congrats twinguy7!!! You've been such a positive and encouraging presence on this forum, and I'm so happy that you've finally been blessed with such AWESOME news!

Phew. Glad to know I'm not alone. It's certainly possible that they're waiting to release the remaining decisions. If only we could figure out how the whole admissions process works... Anyway, I really hope that we'll hear some good news soon! Good luck argslp!

Has anyone else not heard back from NYU? It feels like I'm the only person who hasn't heard back yet. I'm very tempted to contact the department, but I don't want to appear bothersome or impatient... :/

YAY! Congratulations!!

Thank you, BeautifulDay!

You definitely have a chance! I also have a low undergrad GPA, but I did really well in my post-bac courses and volunteered/worked as much as I could in order to gain more exposure to the field. Initially, I was worried that my post-bac GPA and my clinical experience wouldn't compensate for my undergrad GPA, but all of it paid off because I was accepted to U of O this year! The fact that you have experience working as a special ed teacher and that you've maintained an excellent GPA in your master's program is a huge advantage. All I can say is continue working hard, volunteer/shadow SLPs in different settings, and, if possible, apply for a practicum assistantship through your post-bac program. Best of luck to you!!

Hi portnut2014! I applied to PSU and I haven't heard back from them either. So don't worry, you're definitely not alone in the waiting game. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and all of us on here. Best of luck!

Thanks for the advice, lisa19 and Sophia Petrillo. I'm definitely going to trust my gut and take those negative comments with a grain of salt. Anyway, best of luck to you all! I hope everything works out for the best for all of us.

Hi amspeechie! I'm also applying to Syracuse and I was wondering the same thing about those posts. I'm somewhat concerned because, up until this point, I've only heard great things about the program. What impressions did you get from your tour?
