I'm very eager to hear back, but it will be hard to wait two more weeks. Last year Whitewater did not notify until late March, I hope they notify earlier this year! Are you from Milwaukee? What made you choose to apply to those WI schools?

Hey all! Who has heard back from WI schools so far? Anyone have any tips/suggestions for choosing a WI program? This thread is good for anything related to WI schools. I applied to: UW-Milwaukee, UW-Stevens Point, and UW- Whitewater in WI with nothing heard back. I do have official word that UW-Milwaukee is sending out their decisions on Friday March 13th

I just want to say a few things that were surprising to me and maybe you all felt that way too: 1: the amount of people there was startling! Immediately I was even more nervous because of just how many other people were interviewing. 2: the group interviews were more nerve wracking than I had anticipated. It was hard to stay confident in my answer because everyone was so eloquent and had such great experiences to talk about 3: I liked the program so much and I did not expect that. I felt like the faculty truly cares about each of their students and the facilities were very nice (that Aud suite though!!). 4: the writing portion was very easy for an in major applicant but I know it would have been tougher to write a good essay as an out of field applicant 5: everyone was incredible. You all were just wonderful and intelligent and passionate. I loved meeting a big group of like minded strangers and now I realize that the faculty has a very hard decision to make. * I'm so glad it's Saturday because it's one day closer to Monday, THE day.

I feel like I know you all! I have done the same things and constantly check the results search even though the document I made predicts I still have a few weeks to wait. When I have nervous energy, I work out. This is something new I started doing and I am very happy with the effect it has on my anxious feelings. Good luck to everyone!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and am excited about this graduate program's small class size.

Hi friends! Is anyone interviewing at St. Cloud State University on February 27th? I am so excited but also nervous and was hoping for some insight into what that interview might entail (rumors, myths, facts, etc.) Also, if anyone currently goes there: Do you like the program? Any advice for a prospective grad student? Thanks all and good luck to you! Accepted:0/5 Interview: 1/5 St. Cloud State University Rejected:0/5 Applied to: UW-Milwaukee,UW- Stevens Point, UW-Whitewater, St. Cloud State, Illinois State University

Jenbugg86, Thank you, I really needed that! I feel like I am ready to move on from the stress of worrying about "what if" and trust in the future path laid out for myself. Good luck to you in all you do and perhaps our paths will cross in the field some day.

I appreciate your comments. It is hard to reply to a thread based on numbers, what I hope to get out of this is that other people who have a similar situation to mine (lower scores but tons of extracurriculars and a high major GPA) fared when the admissions time rolled around. Even the smallest response offers enormous relief to people in my postion. Applications are done and now I am left to worry.

I am looking for some guidance/helpful information regarding my credentials as an applicant for Midwest Speech-Language Pathology Schools. Here are my stats: Overall GPA: 3.57 (last 60 credits 3.9) Major GPA: 3.94 GRE: Q-140 V-157 AW-4 Applying to: UW-Milwaukee, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Whitewater, Illinois State, and St. Cloud State I have done reasearch for two different professors over the past two years (fluency & phonetics) I have been NSSLHA president for two years I hold a title on national NSSLHA's executive council I am a member of the health sciences alumnae chapter and also on a student board which governs student involvement withing my college I have work experience caregiving for people with disabilities as well as nannying for children from birth through 7 years of age I have three very strong letters of rec writers who I have both had class with as well as worked for personally I am extremely concerned about my lower Overall GPA and my GRE scores. Did anyone else have lower stats like I have but had lots of EC's? I truly appreciate any advice/comments!
