  1. Hey! I just attended the accepted students event at NYU for incoming SLP grad students (maybe you were there too & we just crossed paths without realizing it)! It's actually been my only acceptance thus far but that's okay because it's been my top choice since the beginning of this year. The reason for that is because they have several professors who specialize in care and maintenance of the professional voice for singers, actors, & public speakers and voice therapy for both the professional voice user as well as the everyday person. It's tough to find even a single professor with that area of speciality in most programs and NYU has two or three, which is a huge draw for me. My tour guide who took me to see their clinic & facilities during the event last week also informed me that one of the strengths of their program is the availability of hospital placements. I got the impression from Columbia that their program has a strong neuro focus as well as language acquisition and the training of bilingual speech pathologists. As far as CUNY Hunter is concerned, I applied there without doing too much research on the strengths or weaknesses of their program. I think I may have underestimated the school's popularity, seeing as how it's a more cost-effective alternative to NYU or Columbia while still being in Manhattan.
  2. I'm also waiting to hear back from Stockton & William Paterson! I don't know what's taking them so long. It's already been just shy of a full month since I got my NYU acceptance and all of my rejections also came around that time.

  4. Has anyone heard about financial aid from NYU yet? I keep logging in to my account but under financial aid, all it says is "2015 - award access not available" and I'm assuming that that means it hasn't yet been posted. Their website says late March, so maybe it'll go up on Monday since that's the last day of March. Is anyone else attending their admitted students luncheon this coming Thursday?
  5. That's a very good point about the tuition. Are you going to the admitted students event at NYU on April 3rd, lisa19?
  6. Seriously, what is up with all of the rejections from Hunter College? I got into NYU (which was one of my reach schools/at the top of my list) yet rejected from CUNY Hunter, where I'd applied thinking it would be a good safety/middle of the list type of school. I've seen an overwhelming number of posts on this NJ/NY forum where people have indicated that Hunter rejected them, too. Is it really that selective?
  7. That's awesome! Block 1 was so tough! I wish I'd had the acoustics & anatomy of the ear course that I'm currently taking at some point before attending SVI lol!
  8. Hey Ems390, I went to undergraduate at Westminster Choir College down in Princeton, NJ, where I got a bachelor of music in classical voice/opera. I graduated 2 years ago, when I was 21. I spent my first year out of school deciding whether I wanted to get a master's in voice or go into something else. I decided on SLP about halfway through the year. Attended a certificate program in voice medicine this past summer at the National Center for Voice & Speech in Salt Lake City, then started my prerequisites online through Utah State University when I came back to NJ at the end of the summer, after my program had concluded. I'm very interested in dealing with voice disorders/care & maintenance of both the professional voice as well as voice therapy for non-professional voice users/everyday people! I know NYU tends to appreciate students with a variety of backgrounds and they also have several professors in the SLP department who deal with voice, which is pretty great considering that you're lucky if you can find even one voice-specialized faculty member at most schools. What's your background? Hope all this helps! Best, Giancarlo
