  1. Being a SLP is a dream however applying to 11 schools this year and getting rejections from all but two so far(still waiting) is highly discouraging. "Try again next year" isn't always an option when I already racked up 42k in student debt and loans kick in this November. Getting a career is my only option now. Not saving another 1000 for applications... I feel all of your pain and seeing more acceptances to schools you applied to while you don't hear back/already received the rejection letter is hard. It's hard to be happy for people while you sit back and watch as your dream falls down the drain because to keep applying and volunteer more is just not an option that can be pursued.

  2. I'm in NJ, about 30 mins from Kean so that's probably why I got it today. If you live further yours could be coming tomorrow or next week. Hopefully you get it quickly; they want accepted students to make a decision by March 18th! That's impossible for me considering I haven't even heard back from my other schools yet!

    Crossing my fingers it comes tomorrow then! And that's early, I'm shocked its so soon

  3. That's what I was thinking. They send me an email saying that it has been forwarded to the program's admission's committee and they will email me with the program's decision. In the email it said that it takes about six weeks to make a decision. Does your portal say that it is ready for review or that it is being reviewed? Don't lose hope yet it could be a general notification once the program is reviewing the application.

    It says it's been under review for quite awhile now. I'm going to need a serious deep tissue massage after all notifications are received from these schools from all the stress it's causing. Haha

  4. It's so emotionally and psychologically draining even just one year of applications. Being an SLP is my dream and it's so unfair that just because a panel says people are better-I will never get the chance. I've had teachers tell me my therapy materials and treatment plans are amazing and I would be great, I'm just an awful test taker and that'll be he deciding factor :/

  5. With acceptances, wait lists, interviews and rejections being sent out- say you only get rejections. One of my LOR writers suggested post bacc work, but how worth it is that extra money? Also how do you even apply after you get all the rejections? I haven't explored it yet since I'm hoping I really won't have to, but any insight?

  6. Just giving all of you advice to definitely check up on all of your applications! I went to three colleges(one during high school, one was a mistake semester-school was awful, and the one i'm getting my degree from). Only the school I am getting my degree from managed to send all of my transcripts when I requested them to be sent two months ago. I received receipts from the two other schools saying they sent them- but they were never received and turned out they never sent them when I questioned what transcripts they sent out. KEEP UP ON ALL OF YOUR SUPEMENTAL MATERIALS.

  7. How can you tell if a school saves seats or prefers to give graduate acceptances to only those students that attended their school for their undergraduate degree or even if a school prefers to accept instate residents over out of state residents? I don't want to waste my money applying to schools that are only going to accept a few students that did not attend their school for their undergrad.
