Yay! Application season is O-VER and now it's time to jump in to grad school! What are you guys doing to prepare (or rather wait patiently until graduation so that you can focus on getting ready )? Anyone have any good blogs to follow, movies/documentaries to watch, books to read, things to do to get us ready to be SLPs??? Ahhh!! It's an exciting time in life

Hey! I go to CSUN and just got accepted to their Master's program as well! I don't know much, but one thing I can say with certainty is that the professors are very warm and committed to the students' success. CSUN has one of the best in-house clinics in the area, better than three other CSUs that I visited this year. They have General Clinics, and then specialty options like Voice, Stuttering, Neuro, AAC, Social Skills, Early Intervention, and Audiology. From what I hear from current grad students, the program takes about 2.5 years to complete, and I think that includes taking a class or two in the summer (CSUN doesn't offer CD classes in the winter). The program is also a bit different from the other CA schools in that the degree earned is an MS as opposed to an MA, so that students are well prepared to do externships in the hospitals. I know a few of people who graduated from CSUN and they all have great jobs in different specialties. And as an added perk, the campus is beautiful, peaceful, and very friendly. There's a duck pond right next to our building, and aside for the sweltering summers, the weather is awesome! Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability! Congrats on getting in!!! Looking forward to meeting you in the Fall!

Has anyone heard back from either program?

Hey! I was also invited to interview at CSULA and CSU Fullerton! Anyone have any information about their process, types of questions, essay prompts...? As for CSUN, I know they're planning to send out replies in early April, but it may even be the second or third week from what I have heard from previous applicants.
