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!

A lot of schools accept COMD 3400 at Utah State as hearing science.
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!

Hey guys! So it is pre-accredited because they are sort of on like a prohibitory basis. If ASHA gave them the ok to start accepting students for fall 2014, then they are confident that the program will be successful and the school could potentially be accredited before school starts in the fall. I am pretty sure I am attending Salus University which is in the Philly area. They are in the same situation as Jacksonville, but they said all the students are protected under ASHA. It is still just as competitive, but they seem to be accepting applications for a longer basis. Salus has a lot of other health grad professional programs, so I am pretty confident that the SLP program will do well. If you are okay with being some sort of guinea big then these schools would be perfect. Both schools also seem really excited about their new programs and very interested in their students. Hope this helps!
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?

Hey guys! This is my third year applying, and I finally got an acceptance and 2 wait lists. Don't lose hope! I promise your season will come. If this is your dream, keep pursuing it! Good luck to those of you who are still waiting!
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).

I took a couple graduate level courses as a non-matriculated student. I just filled out a non-degree/non-matriculated student application (basically just to show I completed my bachelors). Like Arcanelady said, it doesnt boost your undergrad GPA, but it is another transcript you can send. I was the only student taking non-matriculated classes that semester, but a girl who started her masters and then took a year off for personal reasons said that there were a couple other students who did the same thing her first year. I dont know how much it improves an application, unless you are applying to the school where you are taking the classes. But I think it might have helped me get on more waitlists. That said, I would contact schools you are interested in and ask if taking graduate level classes might impove your appliation. They will be honest with you!
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.
-
It started last fall, I believe that was the first semester. I know you need all the prerequisites completed by the July 1 deadline, even if you had a COMD degree. I have the degree, but did not have the pre-requisites neural processes/neuropathology or linguistics/psycho-linguistics, so they could not process my application last year. I didn't apply again for this year but I would certainly recommend it
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?
-
I know a past graduate student there who loved it. I don't know anything too specific about the program, but I am from boston and the the school is highly regarded!
-
I haven't heard anything either! not sure what to think about that.
-
Does anyone know if they send out acceptances in waves?
-
April 1st and still not acceptances. praying for a miracle at this point!!
-
Two rejections in one week...it's been a rough week. Hoping for good news, but it's tough hoping when you've gotten so many rejections.
-
I just want some good news today...or even bad news at this point, I'm just tired of waiting on schools. Specifically ones that have sent out stuff to others...if you're going to reject me, waiting won't make it hurt any less...am I right?
That's what I'm saying too! I would just rather know so I can start working on ideas for plan B. The process feels like forever
-
Mine is the same, can't see the letter. last year they put the letter on the portal, and sent an e-mail saying check portal. mine says decision made but no portal change - maybe it takes awhile to update?
yeah that could be true. I e-mailed them anyways just because I'm impatient and would rather know the outcome sooner than later!
-
They sent out an email last week with acceptances and waitlisted people. They said the people who got accepted had until March 28th to inform the school of their decision. Then those on the waitlisted would be told sometime after March 31.
have you heard from them yet?
-
It's possible they mail their decisions! When I applied to Montclair last year, they updated when a decision was made on the website, but said that they only send decisions via postal mail. I know it's a different school, but maybe they also follow that protocol. Good luck!
that would drive me nuts! I live pretty far from north carolina haha. I looked at the previous years and they post on portal/e-mail. I'm just confused because it said posted on application and I just looked through my whole application and I can't find the decision anywhere.
-
did anyone apply to appalachian state? I just went on to check the status of my application and it says decision has been made on application. I can't figure out how to get the decision? I'm assuming it is bad considering I didn't get an e-mail to check it and the first round of decisions had gone out a week ago. if anyone knows how to check it, please let me know! thanks!
Summer/Fall 2015 Ideas

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.
