  1. I keep my resume to one page. When I add something, there is usually something that I consider to be old enough or something that is irrelevant enough that I can remove it to keep space. Although that is getting harder as I get more involved in relevant activities. I'm three years out of undergrad so I'm kinda trimming out the extracurriculars that aren't relevant or I didn't play much of a leadership role in. And for my personal statement, at least when I was doing my application, they wanted "approximately" 650 words, which is about a page single spaced 11.5 font. So I kept it to that. I just didn't want to have to explain what I was talking about in my essay, when it was already explained in my resume. Looking over it, I talked about 2 jobs, one volunteer experience, and a relevant course that I took, plus future goals and how the program I was applying to fit into those goals.
  2. Yeah I found it kind of bizarre that a resume wasn't required! Having spent so much time building that resume with jobs and volunteering and school work, I definitely wanted to make sure it was part of my application.
  3. I never talked to anyone outside the communication disorders department. I definitely would have emailed it to them. But like I said I ended up just giving it to them when I visited in August.
  4. Yeah there was no way I could have fit all my work and volunteer experience and written a cohesive sop, and I didn't want to waste space explaining things that were explained on my resume. I kept my statement to 1 page single spaced and gave them my resume when I visited, although when I called they said I could email it and they would include it in my application file. Also, I submitted my application long before my letters of rec were submitted. I think my last letter of rec didn't get sent in until like a day before the deadline! And I got in pretty quickly after the deadline, like 2 weeks out.
  5. I have informally accepted at UTD for the spring as well pending some scholarship info. Im not sure how/if it would affect admissions, but Dr Stillman is out of the country for about 10 days. So that may be why you haven't heard back from him if you've been emailing him.
  6. Eastern New Mexico university does not take letters of rec!
  7. In his email he said we'd hear "soon", whatever that means. This week?? That's what I consider soon haha
  8. He emailed me back like 7 minutes later, ha. They will begin reviewing applications on Friday(!!!). He was out of town and that's why they haven't started yet. So fingers crossed, all!
  9. I bit the bullet and emailed dr stillman I'll let you guys know if/when I hear anything back.
  10. @lsugirl I actually for the life of me cannot remember my NetID.... lol. So I haven't checked it in a while! Do you think they'll email/call or will notifications be via Galaxy? My letters didn't get submitted until right before September 15 so I assumed I wouldn't hear anything until at least October.
  11. Hi I just saw your response! Thank you! I feel like what I have most going for me is my experience... I graduated 3 years ago, would be 4 by the time I started the postbac. And I have gotten in lots of good experience since then. My grades weren't terrible but I'll be taking some science courses to fix some less-than-stellar grades I got freshman year Thanks again for your response, I appreciate it!!
  12. @lsugirl all it says is that my application is complete (I think). Is that what yours says? I believe I am STILL waiting on a couple of letters from professors... I should probably check in on that. But, like I said, Dr Stillman told me he would be making decisions in mid september, then finalizing everything in the beginning of october! Which in my opinion makes the whole process not realllly rolling admissions, haha. But thats mostly a bummer for people like you who applied so early!! Shoot!
  13. I met with Dr Stillman this morning and he said they're hoping to make decisions for spring 2016 in mid September, just so everyone who has applied is aware! He was very kind and seemed very approachable and understanding of the stress of finding a good fit for grad school.
  14. Does anyone have any insight into how competitive this program is to get into? I'm interested in it as (kind of) a back up in case I don't get into any masters programs.
  15. Hey cool, das wäre ja lesenswert! Ich schau es mal durch, obwohl mein Deutsch ist schon ziemlich eingerostet danke!
