I'm sure, like most things, it depends on the school. For some, having a specific GRE/GPA is necessary to be considered for certain scholarships, but I would think the most logical is that for general funding they would probably just spread it out through their top ranked applicants (this would be the wholistically top ranked students - not by numbers). Another question to tack on: if people who do receive funding for a school decline the invitation, does that get redistributed into another funding offer?

@Lakegirl92 WOW Congrats on getting through all those Apps! Welcome to the waiting game

I decided to use my professional (previously inactive email) instead of my school email to apply to grad school. That way, whenever I got an email, I could assume it's from a grad school... ...except for that fake out moment when you see a (1) on your email tab, excitedly click over, and see it's an email from Neopets. Oops. Guess I used that email for my guilty pleasures as well

I think along with your relationship to your professor, it also depends on the professor's personality as well. For example, asking in person may be best if the professor is old school and would appreciate the effort to come in person, if he or she is not very good responding to emails, etc. Asking through email may be best if the professor is very shy, always busy etc. Personally, I asked in person and then followed up with an email. Especially if you are applying to Speech Path, I think it's also important to consider asking a professor who is/was a Speech Pathologist or Audiologist, since they can comment best on how you will be as a clinician. Some schools actually require this, so I recommend checking into your programs! Hope this helps
