Same, I was really surprised when I saw people on the results board getting these huge scholarships... I didn't even know you could get scholarships for grad school haha I thought only GA/TA/RA postions
Right! Maybe it's some strange, very unusual occurrence.

Do people ever actually get aid packages from schools? I'm seeing some posts about schools offering scholarships and whatnot and I'm sitting here like, "whaaa?" I was under the impression the only type of aid you might get for an SLP Master's program is if you secure a GA or TA position

I go to Kean University now and I'm in their Pre-Professional program. I know they just gave out their decisions for the summer cohort so the person who posted their rejection on the Results page was probably rejected for the summer!
Good to know. That makes more sense.

It looks like somebody on the Results page got a rejection from them already - maybe they will send out earlier this year?
Well that's alarming. Their deadline was super late- February 15th. I guess we'll see!

Interesting. Well if it's your top program, it's definitely worth the wait. What school is it?
Kean University. Looks like many people heard mid-April last year, but I've also read some not till super late. I just want to know all my results so I can make an informed choice! haha

I would definitely just feel it out. If the school is demanding for a deposit and not understanding, would you really want to go there anyways? Everything will happen the way it's supposed to. && MAY IS SO LATE!!!! When does the program start?
Fall! It's a school that's (evidently) notorious for reaaaaally late acceptances. But by then, you've likely heard from your other schools and they'll want a decision.

Are you referring to Montclair State?
Yup, they evidently want deposits early April if you get in!

I don't understand how schools aren't on some sort of deadline. It doesn't make sense that the dates of admissions being released can fluctuate so heavily. I will be in the same boat if I get accepted to more than one program and it scares me.
RIGHT? I feel the same way. Mid March vs May are very, VERY different. It would make more sense for all schools, at least within a certain geographic area, to have a ballpark time frame in which they send out acceptances. My fear is that I'll end up wasting money on a deposit only to go somewhere else!
-
All interesting answers. Yeah, I would be afraid of waiting too long.... The thing is, I searched this forum, and it looks like last year, people who got into the school I'm referring to were asked to send in their deposit by about April 4th. It's just so strange to me that they can ask that, when other schools in the area don't typically send letters until MID April, or up until May. It's like, how the heck can I say yes to you guys and give you my money when I don't know who else might want me? And honestly, it comes down to money for me, so even IF I got in all my schools, I want to go for the most economical option. I guess then, I'll call the school (if I get in) and ask if it's okay to wait until a certain date to send a deposit..
-
How much do deposits tend to be? That's my concern. I'm fully willing to basically tell them, "Sorry, not coming." I'm the one who's about to pay a school ridiculous amounts of money. My concern is that deposits tend to be non-refundable. What do they average?
-
Quick question for everyone as I wait to hear from schools. What do you do if you get in somewhere, and they want a deposit, but you haven't even heard from other schools? It occurred to me today that one school I applied to seems to accept people around mid-March, and wants a deposit early April. However, school #2 doesn't send letters until mid-April. And school # 3 not until May! Let's say I get accepted to the first mentioned school, and they want a deposit by early April. How do you deal with/get around that if you haven't even heard from other schools??
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm looking to take Intro to Comm Disorders and Neuro at Longwood University this upcoming summer. Has anyone had experience with Longwood's SLP prerequisites online, or taken them during the summer? I've got a potential 2ish week (no longer) trip planned and am wondering if Longwood allows you to work ahead/around to accomodate.
Thanks!

Yeah and I still have notes and stuff if you get into that class just let me know!
Thanks so much! I'll let you know!

For that one, I was actually in Europe for 14 days. The professor let me work ahead completely and it was super manageable.
Oh really? Interesting. I'd need that prof and the neuro prof to do that for me...

No it was a 8 week course, started June 5th and went to August 8th!
Darn. I'm hoping for something more like...at least 12 weeks. So they're not SO intense, and so I have a chance of doing a vacation. I managed a 9 day trip while doing online courses at Utah last summer by working ahead but I imagine that's just a nuts idea in an 8 week course

hmm it's CSD 150, i took it during the summer so maybe that's when they offer it.
Weird, it totally wasn't on their website! I'll email them for more info. Do you know if it was a regular 16 week course?

Try UWEC. I took intro to comm disorders there and the professor was so nice!
Somehow I'm not seeing an Intro to Comm Disorders class? I see "Developmental Language Disorders" but not Intro

I know I probably couldn't. How many are you planning on taking? One might be manageable, but I don't know about more than two. So far, I haven't encountered an overly tough professor.
I was planning on taking 2. I'd honestly much rather a typical 12 or 16 week course but I can't seem to find Intro to Comm Disorders as well as Neuro at the same school.

I did them while working full-time but it was very hard to maintain anything outside of this. The professors vary too in their toughness. I had one where it was impossible to receive an A without studying at least 10 hours a week.
Jeez, that's intense!!! I wonder if there's anywhere else to take these that isn't so intense/only 8 weeks
-
Do you both think they are manageable if I work full-time? I was also looking at a two-ish week vacation this summer, which simply won't be possible if I take these courses, it seems....

Hello all,
I'm looking into taking two courses at ENMU this summer. I see they are short courses, approximately 8 weeks long. Has anyone taken CDIS courses through ENMU during the summer, and can you testify as to the difficulty level of the classes given how short they are?
Thanks,
Kate

Northern Arizona offers both courses. I know Neuro is in the summer, but I'm not sure about the other.
Could you tell me which course would cover the Intro course?

Take both of them at Eastern New Mexico! They are both offered in the summer.
What is the course that covers Intro to Speech/Language/Hearing? I'm not seeing it..
-
Thanks for the info! The only thing is, though, I'm really hoping to take them at the same place. Does anyone else know a school at which both can be taken?

How do people even GET scholarships though? I've seen nothing from NJ schools I applied to
