I know right! I just want to hear from everyone so I can make a decision now and start planning! BTW can anyone tell me what the think of USF? I don't know much about the program. All I know is I'm from out of state and the program is longer and more expensive than the other 7 that I applied to. @koukla19 I'm sure like many other schools, they probably send out acceptances in waves. I didn't see much about USF in the results section (I think there were 5) which I would take as a good sign!

First of all, congrats to everyone with acceptances!! it is exciting to know this early in the game I just heard yesterday that I got into the University of South Florida! Even though it is not my top choice I am relieved to know that no matter what I will be starting grad school this Fall. I have yet to hear a thing from my other schools but I know some of them have already done interviews and I was not invited to do so yet... best of luck with all the other schools we're waiting on!

Thanks everyone! I had a fairly low undergrad GPA too so I was so nervous! I'm also waiting to hear from CSUN. It's so hard to wait without any updates.... Ugh!

I received an acceptance from USF today. I was not expecting to hear this early since they sent out an e mail 2 weeks ago saying it would take 3 to 5 weeks

I just received a response from my first school today... and I got into the University of South Florida! I am so happy to have 1 acceptance to calm my nerves for the rest of my applications.

I've been on the lazier side. After work I typical cook dinner and catch up on my shows. Hoping to get some hiking in this will in Cali though

Thanks for sharing! And wow that interview is on such short notice! Best of luck

Hey Everyone, I know that there are a lot of applicants applying to schools in the NY and NJ area so I thought I would start this forum for us to track progress, questions, and such for these schools. I am applying to 6 schools in the area and have yet to hear anything, but I know some people have started getting interviews for Brooklyn college. Best of luck to everyone applying

Sorry I'm of no help to your questions but I was just wondering when your interview is for and your stats. Thanks!

The only thing I've heard so far is that my applications have gone under review :-\

The results on this page: http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=Speech

I saw in the results that someone had received an interview time and date for Brooklyn college... Anyone else get one too?

@ mo~ I hope they will look past that since that is not in your power whatsoever. You never know, they might not even notice from all the letters they are going to be reading. I am also applying to CSUN, I am so nervous!

I applied to a program that needed everything mailed in 1 packet. I wish I could see the status of my application!

Wow @Lakegirl92 that is a lot of schools! Idk how you did it because I was so stressed with 8 applications! I know that it is WAYYYY early but I really hope we start hearing something in Feb *fingers crossed* Best of luck to everyone Does anyone know how to prepare for interviews/ what kind of questions do they ask during interviews?

And congratulations to u guys who have been accepted! Why are you considered part of the '16 cohort? Do u start in Sept?

CSUN is my first choice but I applied for the residential program. Now I'm so nervous because you guys have heard already!! What made you choose the distance ed option?

I took a post-bacc program at Kean. Technically the science classes weren't a part of the program, but they did allow me to register for them. I opted to take them for much cheaper at community college. Most schools require that you have them done before starting the grad program so I would definitely take it if you can.

I just finished a post-bacc program last semester (I majored in psych and communications but wanted a career change) and the classes were with students who were majoring in CSD in undergrad. Unless you can find specific classes that you have yet to take or retake classes that you did very poorly in, I would say it is probably a waste of money and time. Best of luck!

I can't believe how nervous I am to hear back from schools already... I see some pretty good stats who are applying for their second time which makes me nervous! I have 3 more SOP's to send in but everything else is in. SOP's are giving me anxiety because I feel like they are never good enough! Best of luck to everyone!

Hey everyone, Anyone still working on their academic resume and getting together LOR's? What rules are there to follow? Can you email a professor or set up an appointment to meet with them? and are your resumes 1 page or more?

I know right! Hopefully these schools understand that people don't know what they're doing freshman year!
