It's hard work, but if you can get a serving job at a restaurant with high prices, you can actually make good money. 

I got my email just a bit ago too! I really hope they offer some information regarding funding sooner rather than later. That's a huge factor for me as an out of state applicant! 

I was notified via postal service to my permanent address. I received a packet including admission information, acceptance to the STEPS bilingual program, info about an open house, and funding information. 

Or someone's just full of shit. Occam's Razor 

Was accepted to UT Austin on the 13th. 

I gotta say price has to come first. I can make any of the programs I applied to a home, so whichever one is going to land me in the least debt. 

I was surprised by how important visits are... some schools are terrible at keeping websites updated.

Hey Arytenoid, sounds like we're in same boat. I am also a Spanish major (in addition to speech and hearing) and have worked very hard to gain fluency. But as you said, how do you gauge your own fluency? I also completed the interview for IU. It's so frustrating that we did the interview so long ago, but have to wait for March for results. I also applied to ASU and UT Austin for bilingual programs (OSU an Ucincy for non-bilingual). Best of luck to you, hopefully we both get the opportunity to pursue bilingual SLP, despite our non-native speaker status. 

I'm trying to be productive with my nervous energy, but sometimes nervous energy is just unfocused energy.

Cool, Ellie. I did not grow up bilingual. I acquired Spanish starting in high school and have pursued it as a second major and through study abroad experiences. I also applied to ASU and UT Austin, as well as Indiana U, which have bilingual programs. I also applied to two in-state schools (I live in Ohio). I really hope that my fluency is good enough. I think there is such a need for bilingual professionals, so that is my goal.
I am also going to a visit at ASU on the 20th. Have you been there? Do you know much about their program or UT Austin's program?

Makes me feel better that I am not the only neurotic one. It's gotten so bad my roommates are making fun of me: "Oh, yeah, she's definitely not going to get in, not with her 3.9 GPA."

I dreamed that there was a gradcafe used by all of the adcoms at various schools/programs, and they were talking about us (the applicants) and their chances of getting us to accept their admissions offers.
My top choice school called me their "safety".

Overall gpa for admitted students is 3.9. According to US news report, iu is in the top ten for the most competitive master's slp program.
