You will be just fine. I am so very sorry to hear about your cousin, my situation was not the same, but grade-wise I did very poorly in my undergrad as well (failed at least one entire semester and half of several others due to depression). I finished my undergrad with a 2.81 and did close to 4.0 work in my year and a half of post bacc work. I think at the time I applied for grad school, I had a 2.96. I finally got above a 3.0 (3.01!!) following my last semester of post bacc coursework. My GRE scores were similar to yours. I think I had a pretty strong personal statement (I didn't address the specific reason for my poor grades, but just said I had matured and found something I was passionate about and committed to, and that my post bacc grades were evidence I could be successful in this field) and LORs.
I will not say the application process was pleasant-I applied to 9 schools and was only admitted to 1, and it was one of the last ones I heard from. I spent a lot of time from late February to late March ugly-crying, wondering how I could have ever been so stupid to even try this, and hating myself for not having my sh*t together in undergrad, but it really only takes one school to say yes for things to work out for you. Good luck and feel free to PM me!

I got an email notifying me I was waitlisted last week, emailed back to ask about my position on the waitlist, and then received an email saying that there aren't any numbers. Can anybody clarify a bit??
-
I've been emailing with several current students at UNM who have been reporting the complete opposite of those poor reviews. I can send you one of the emails I just received, as it was super reassuring and is making me reconsider my hesitation about UNM. Have you made a decision already?
I've accepted-I just wanted to get more specifics because the reviews on the results page were really freakin me out! That would be appreciated, if you can PM me!

Are other people still waiting? I literally haven't heard anything.

What specifically have you read, just out of curiosity. I'm interested in the bilingual Class for All NM and just accepted at UNM last Monday. To me, they seemed great when I visited. I'd like to hear more.
I'm just referring to the reviews on the results board-they all pretty much said the same thing, but not very specific. Really glad to hear you had a good experience when you toured!

And is anyone interested here for the bilingual tract?

Hey I go to a different school, but we have leveling/post-baccs here as well. Since they have degrees outside of SLP they need to take classes people usually take in their undergraduate career. This is why sarasahara is in some classes with undergraduate students. It doesn't mean that the undergraduates are taking grad level courses, more like the opposite, the post-baccs are taking undergraduate courses. Correct me if I'm wrong, but leveling/post-baccs don't even get to do clinics yet because they aren't an official grad student either. But undergrads in classes with post-baccs don't get to do clinic (unless the university lets undergrads do that, but most don't).
Like where I'm going we have post-baccs in some of my classes. Neither groups are doing clinics as we aren't grad students yet. Hope that makes sense!
Yep, I get what you're saying. At my university, undergrads get to do a bit of clinic (not a ton), but post baccs do not. I guess knowing that undergrads at other universities are in the same boat reassures me a bit! Are you attending UNM?

Not to my knowledge but the non-degree program is a little different from the undergrad so I'm not entirely sure. For example, it's mostly graduate students who participate in research labs. Favored undergrads can also. But non-degrees aren't usually allowed/chosen to participate. Maybe that's just how speech programs work though? For my psych degree I was required to do research in a lab in order to get my degree so I guess I was a little surprised how strict it is in the SHS department.
What do you mean by labs? Like the bilingual research lab or in clinic? I am a post baccalaureate at my university and unfortunately I don't get to participate in clinic either.

I'm still waiting to hear too...It's one of my top two choices too. I even called today and left a message to get information but haven't heard anything back yet.
I've called and emailed but I'm still confused as to what's going on. If we're in the "second pool", are they not even looking at our applications until they decide if the class is full with those from the first pool?
-
Still haven't heard back. I'm accepted at the University of New Mexico and waitlisted a handful of other places. Anyone else?
-
sarahsahara, so are you currently doing your leveling coursework or actually in the graduate program?
-
"Thank you for your inquiry into your application status. We are in the process of deciding which applicants have been accepted, placed on the waiting list, or denied admission. If you have not heard from us, this indicates the decision regarding your application has not been determined. The already admitted students have until April 15th to reply with their intent to attend so you probably will not hear anything until then."
-
I'm still waiting, too. I don't really understand the whole "pool" process other than that I'm in the second pool of applicants.

I've been accepted to UNM, but read nothing but poor reviews on here. Can anyone share more specifics about their experience?

I did half of my post bacc courses online-they do a great job!
