oliviamichele-- thanks for the link! Exactly what I'm looking for. I wish there was a site just for students to review/talk about their graduate school experience... Would be so helpful. I wonder how much program ranking/prestige matters. I've heard it's relatively important if you're considering a PhD track (which I'm considering), but does it matter in a job search? I'm in such a bind-- got into MGH in Boston and LOVE it here, but also don't know if I could turn down the opportunity to attend a top 5 school. Trying to figure out if the program will justify the move...

Hey everybody! I'm a long-time lurker startled out of hiding from an acceptance email from Vanderbilt last night. Am still totally in shock about it. I was just curious if anyone had any information/thoughts on Vanderbilt's prestige as a MS-SLP program and in the research field. I've obviously heard amazing things about Vanderbilt's prowess, but does that translate to a program that really produces a different kind of SLP than another? Has anyone visited and gotten a vibe about the program? I'm also in at MGH, which gave me a 50% scholarship, and Emerson, which hasn't nailed down their scholarship info quite yet. Vandy said aid info would be arriving on the 17th. My stats, for anyone interested, are as follows: GPA 3.73, GRE V166 M158 W5.5. Out of field, but undergrad at a great college with lots of leadership/work experience.
