  1. Re: CalState Eastbay I got an e-mail yesterday at about 6pm from Marianna Wolff stating that I had been admitted for the Fall quarter and that they had also mailed out a physical letter. I will be declining this offer. I have decided to study at UNM. Good luck to you all!
  2. When I graduated in 2012 I applied to three programs. Silly of me, but I had no idea what I was doing and I did not have any type of mentor or family toask advice from. Anyhow, I did not get into any of the three programs. I cried, of course, was devastated and so discouraged. I decided I would start pursuing a Masters in Spanish and reapply for SLP when I finished. Here we are two years later, I graduate next month and I am currently considering offers from 4 different SLP programs. What changed about my application? My SHS/CD grades are exactly the same, my GRE scores barely improved the second time, and I asked for the same professors to write my letters of rec. The only thing I can imagine is that, at this point, I have proven my ability to be successful in a graduate program (I have a straight-A record in my MA prgm) and in my letter of intent, I explained that my only motivations for pursing my current degree (In Spanish Linguistics) were directly related to my goal to become an SLP, that I knew it would make me more a more effective, knowledgable SLP. So all that to get to my point, OF COURSE THERE IS A POINT TO REAPPLYING!! Every year the applicant pool changes and your GRE scores and GPA hold a different value. In addition, you are planning to pursue a Masters in Special Ed. I think that is great plan and will strengthen your application tremendously. Also, apply all across the country. Do not focus on a specific region––I notice that the same groups of students tend to apply to same schools, so you are essentially competing against the same people over and over.
  3. Hey there! Im in NM too. If i ever get accepted off of the UNM waitlist I will be pursuing the SLPA license in NM as well. I saw that Rio Rancho public schools is hiring SLPAs. Was the application process for the license painful?
  4. Hello! I am quite untraditional as an SLP student. I am 26 and I have a 7 year old daughter. I will complete my first Masters this June and have held two assistantships totaling 30 hours/week for the entire program. Life is insane at times. It requires commitment and discipline on many levels. I am stretched thin but still manage to find time to volunteer at her school once a week, take her to her extracurriculars, etc. My life consists of reading, eating, sleeping, reading, cleaning, working, driving around, and more reading. At times my daughter gets to hear my assigned readings as a bedtime story. Thankfully she understands. Anyhow, I have found that 2 years in a Masters program fly by and the investment is well worth the sacrifices.
  5. I was also waitlisted. Ah well! Good luck to you!
  6. Congrats!! I also looked up the stats on ASHAs website and I noticed that a significant number of students were offered funding last year. I email them to ask about the timeline for offers and I will post their answer in this thread when they reply.
  7. I had the same question. I was under the impression that most schools offer the funding in the acceptance letter? I have been accepted to some amazing programs and fear that without funding I will end up at my in-state school. Not terrible, but so bittersweet.
  8. Congrats! Did you apply to the residential or online program?? I haven't heard a thing from online admissions and I was wait listed for the residential program weeks ago. Also the best way to get in touch with students is to simply email a professor in the department and ask them to send out an email to their students. I get these all of the time from my own professors and often contact potential grad students at their request.
  9. Hello! For those of you also accepted to Univ. Of Redlands, did you receive funding offers? Do they ever offer funding through Redlands? I'd love to be able to attend but that price tag..!
  10. I would absolutely love to say that I will be accepting, but the tuition is very high and unless I am able to get an assistantship with tuition remission… I can't imagine taking out $50k+ in loans.
  11. Congrats!! I just got my acceptance e-mail as well. I am excited but now I have a million questions about funding. Are you from S. CA? I lived in San Jose for 9 years but have little familiarity with Redlands and the job/living situation there. Anyhow, I am thrilled. Congrats again!
  12. Congratulations! I was selected as an alternate for the residential program. I also applied to the online program as well but have yet to hear back.
  13. I got my letter for funding today! I'm still not sure I can afford to attend IU though. =\
  14. Me either and now I am wondering if they will send a letter only to those who ARE offered first round funding. I just assumed everyone would get a letter to say yes or no to funding.
  15. When I called she said the physical letter would be the only form of notification. I am rather anxious as well, an offer of funding would make the decision process much easier. Otherwise I'm more inclined to go to Portland State. SLPbilingue, piensas aceptar en UNM?
  16. Did anyone here get accepted to UNM and know they are not going to attend?
  17. I called today and they stated that the letters were mailed out this morning (monday). Have you heard back from UNM yet? I was wait-listed. But am glad to have been accepted at IU (STEPS).
