No idea But I'm anxiously awaiting, too!

I'm from Delaware, but I thought Milwaukee would be a cool city to go to grad school in. Plus. UWW and UWM both have aphasia labs/clinics, which is what I'm really interested in. I also figured since the Midwest isn't quite as populated as the East Coast, I might have a better shot of getting in! Gotta say I won't be excited about those winters though if I do get in

I applied to UW-Milwaukee and UW-Whitewater as well. I've heard nothing from Milwaukee, though I'm glad you found out a date! All I received from UW-Whitewater was an email saying they received my application, and a link to apply for graduate assistantship while waiting on a decision. Really excited its finally March, because I'm so tired of this process and I just want to hear back!

I have trouble sleeping and trouble not obsessively checking my e-mail & TGC admissions page! One rejection already..invited to do the supp app for Rush...it's nerve-wracking. ps. LOVE the username

Because I live in tiny little Delaware, I wanted to use grad school as an opportunity to live in a new city, so I started with location. Then I used ASHA's website to narrow down schools based on the GPAs the accepted and their acceptance rates (though I admit I did apply to a few schools I knew I would have a tough time of getting into simply for my mom wanting me closer to home). Then I made sure that the schools I was applying to had clinics/labs or professors that were focused on aphasias, because that's the field of SLP I'd like to work in. Definitely spend a lot of time on ASHA's EdFind...it was very helpful!

True, I am VERY excited. I suppose I'm just afraid of being near cloud 9 and getting another rejection

I got the supplemental app on Sunday and completed it...got a financial aid e-mail today. Does anyone know whether or not all supplemental applicants get this?! I'm trying not to get excited

@twinguy7 Hi! I'm an applicant for the fall 2015 cycle, and I'm so sad I didn't come across this post until I already started submitting applications. My stats also aren't the greatest (2.89 on CSDCAS, 2.66 overall at my undergrad, 2.89 last 60 credits). I took about a two year break from school because I wasn't getting good grades. However, the last three I've been back semesters I've had 3.0, 3.8, 3.86, with a GRE of 164v/154q/4.0a. My personal statement addresses my poor GPA, but I'm afraid that most programs won't even get to reading it because I don't meet their GPA cutoffs. After reading this, I'm considering e-mailing my top two schools (UWI-Milwaukee & UMD-College Park) about how flexible their cutoff is and the likelihood of my explanatory statement being read. How did you manage to e-mail so many schools about their willingness to take chances on lower GPA while sounding interested but not desperate? I'm applying to 9 schools overall and I just feel way in over my head.
