thanks for the reply! I will do anything to get into a school no matter where it is. I've considered applying to Eastern New Mexico (especially because the app fee is free). Do you like it and do they have a program that starts in the summer? I was an undergrad in communication sciences and disorders as well as minored in psychology of developmental disabilities. I did an internship at a speech clinic last summer and currently work doing ABA with kids with autism. I also did some observations at a rehab hospital working with adults. In high school I worked in the special ed resource room with some kids who were actually non-verbal. I also just got a job working as a para starting in the fall for a child with autism. I was hoping because I had a lot of experience working with this with disabilities it would help outweigh the GREs, but that unfortunately wasn't the case.

Hi everyone, I know this is a long way away, but I am just starting to think of schools to apply to for summer and fall 2015. Unfortunately I did not get in anywhere this round and was wondering if anyone could tell me any schools that may be less competitive to apply to. I am from MA but would be willing to travel anywhere in the country. I also was wondering for anyone who didn't get in their first round what they did to improve for their second round of applying. I am planning on retaking my GREs and was thinking of taking some post-bacc classes (not sure if that will help)? I would appreciate any input. thanks!

do you know if they happen to have neuroscience for CSD as well?

Hi everyone! I am trying to take neuroscience online this summer and was wondering if anyone know of any places I could take it online? Thanks!

Do you feel it would be risky to attend a school that doesn't have full accreditation status? Do you know what happens if for some reason they don't receive full accreditation, for example would our credits transfer?

congrats that is awesome! do you mind if I ask what you did to improve your application?

I can let you guys know what the director says in the e-mail once she e-mails me back. The other thing I was wondering is if they would mainly only accept their undergrads because it is a new program and nobody has really heard of it yet? I wouldn't want to apply for nothing like I did to one school this year that only takes their undergrads (they never told anyone about this).

Thank you! I wasn't sure about this situation because I have heard people say to me to take classes at the graduate level, but I wasn't sure how that even would work and if it would count towards my undergrad GPA. so thanks that clears some things up for me!

I had never heard of this until I saw your post. I just sent them an e-mail though asking to get more information about the program and when they would find out about accreditation. How did you hear about this school? Are you an undergrad there?

I knew it was going to be hard to get into schools, I just didn't think it was going to be THIS competitive! I guess next time I apply I will look more at the less competitive schools and retake my GREs. I have a 3.6 GPA and 3.4 in CSD, but does anyone know anything about taking classes at the graduate level to boost your GPA? Can you even do that? I was also thinking of trying to get an SLPA position and do a lot of volunteer work. Is anyone from MA and know of any good places to volunteer?

I personally just think it is such a scam and it is very aggravating. I almost feel like e-mailing and saying that it would be appreciated to put on the website "we mainly accept our own undergrads but you are welcome to apply". That would at least be fair. I think it's great they accept their own undergrads, but at least TELL PEOPLE THAT and not just scam them for their money!

Got my rejection letter today as well. Very annoyed about not being notified about this before I applied.

I saw you applied and just have a quick question! Did you take foreign languages in college? I noticed that that was needed for applying too

I also applied to clarion as well and am waiting to hear back. It's very unfortunate that they don't tell you they give first priority to clarion students on the website before you apply. I would have applied somewhere else if I knew that.

did anyone apply to clarion and know anything about how many undergrad students they have already accepted?
