What is the private Facebook page for students? I tried the link someone posted on 2NYU but it doesn't work.

I second Magoosh. Download their free vocabulary and math app and practice whenever you have a free moment. I raised my verbal score by 5 points in less than a month by studying their flashcards. Also try reading sophisticated newspapers like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Reuters. Often their vocabulary is in sync with the GRE.

I did mine individually, but I have known others have the call with a few others as well. They will go over 2nyu and albert. Answer questions about courses, talk about going to NYC briefly for clinic, and talk about your courses just briefly.
Hi, since you started the online cohort, I had a question about the academic calendar. I looked online and the NYU calendar says summer classes end around August 15, but when I was on Albert in showed the that Speech@NYU classes end around August 25.
My question is, how much of a break is there between the summer sessions and the fall?
I have a destination wedding next August in Europe and I'm wondering if I can make it.

I am currently in the program, I just started this month. What do you want to know about the program?
I'm starting in September. How do you like the program so far? How are lessons structured? Is it a lecture style or more of a discussion?

Lol! Well, $75 is a small price to pay if there happens to be an oversight on their part and they end up giving you a full scholarship ? And the interview went well (IMO). If you or anyone would like any details, feel free to PM me. But yeah, I guess we'll see what happens. All the best to you though! Maybe you'll get an interview anyhow! lol
I agree, $75 is a small price to pay! If I'm lucky enough to get called for an interview I will definetly PM you.
When did you submit your application?

Yep. Heard back from them on the 4th via email to schedule an interview (coincidentally - or not - the same day I called them to ask if they had sent out emails to SLP Scholarship applicants). Made the interview then ended up having to reschedule. Once you cancel though, it's a pain in the NECK to get in touch with someone to find out when you will get an email to pick another date/time since you can't just reschedule online. The woman in charge of it never picks up the phone. I had to call them a million times in a row until I think I got on their nerves a little bit and they patched me through to her. That day, I got the email to reschedule.
So if I were you, I would try to call and ask if they have sent out all their interview invites or if they are still reviewing applications - something to that effect. I'm trying to research info on how the interview process goes. I know there will be a writing assignment. Not sure on what or what questions they will ask..
When did you submit your application?
I applied but I think I just donated $75 to the DOE lol. I already have a NYS ed license and I know it bars me from consideration, buuut I figured "who knows what might happen," so I sent an application in anyway.
Good luck and please report back about how the interview goes!

LIU is on academic probation. Read the report on CAA. There is about 8 reasons why; and they have until January 2018 to fox the issues.
I took my pre-reqs there and the department was disorganized. This creates a lot of undue stress. The office staff make it seem like it is a hassle to do anything for you. I heard the head of their department was let go. You may be put in their online cohort so if that is not a learning style you are comfortable with then I would give it some consideration.
An old coworker of mine is graduating from Touro in May. She took her pre-reqs there and she seems happy with the program. I have heard bad things about Touro in general for all programs including SLP. Some people do not think very highly of that school, but I'd lean more toward Touro than LIU.

When I was considering, this facebook group was really helpful. It seems students are happy with the classes but frustrated with the administration - hope you can join / it helps!
What cohort is this group for? I start in September.
I must be a real Scorpio (private type) since I keep low social media profile and don't even have a Facebook! Just IG.
Do you recommend signing up for a Facebook account to join this group? I like the idea of chamraderie and getting to know my classmates. Is Facebook the only platform, besides the NYU affiliated, that students use to communicate and pass information?

I figured if you haven't heard until now you were on the waitlist since some people got rejections prior? Im not sure though. Sorry for your rejection! But I'm sure you'll do great with Speech@NYU since its pretty hard to get in as well. I checked the mail and haven't gotten anything yet so i'm still holding on for some hope lol
Thank you! Fingers crossed for you!
-
Just received my rejection letter in the mail from St. John's! Disappointed since it did not even mention their waitlist.
I wonder what type of student this school wants. My GPA and GRE scores are higher than most of the people who posted to the results section. Maybe they want a traditional student or those interested in the medical side of SLP. Someone on this forum once said the program is medically based but everyone I've met who graduated from the program works in a school.
Oh well, I'm grateful I was accepted to three other schools.
Best of luck to you and I hope you get an offer!

I saw! I wonder how they are accepting students as well, since most people have most likely put in deposit to other schools. I wish they would notify everyone on decisions well before the April 15th deadline most schools have. But I'm hoping to be accepted it would definitely be one of my top choices.
I just called graduate admissions and a recording stated that the school is closed from today Thursday April 13 till Monday April 17. I doubt anyone will get offer over the next few days unless there is some sort of automated system.
This is one of my top choices but with all this stress I'm wondering if I should just be happy with my offer to Speech@NYU. Both programs have pro's and con's.

Thats my exact reasoning for wanting to go to St. Johns for the mere fact that I could work at go to school which would be great. The only questions I have was just how she liked the program in general like the professors, size of the program etc, and how the clinics were. Thanks so much, all the information so far that you gave me really helped! Hopefully we hear something back soon.
I saw someone on the results page was accepted to St. John's today!
I wonder how they determine who gets an acceptance offer because a lot of the people who have been accepted to St. John's have lower stats and GRE scores than me.

Unfortunately, I was rejected by St. John's because apparently they didn't receive my stuff on time. I haven't heard from Touro yet but I know someone who was.
I think the Speech@NYU deadline for Fall 2017 is in May or June, if your interested.

I just got accepted into LIU Brooklyn! However, their program is under probation right now so I feel kind of conflicted. But they're the only acceptance I have and I have a waitlist from Adelphi.
Does anyone have any information on the LIU Brooklyn program?
BTW I see you applied to St. John's and Touro. Have you heard back from St. John's? I haven't. If you have not heard back from Touro, don't lose hope, two years ago my coworker found out in May that she was accepted to Touro.

Congratulations! I too am accepted but I'm not sure if I will accept their offer. My friend's friend attends the program and told me that the SLP department head was just fired. They seem to be going through a major restructuring. They are extremely disorganized.
You also may have been accepted to the online cohort. It's not well known, but that was what I was accepted to.
Good luck!

My coworker said she liked the program and said that although the clinic director has a reputation for being mean/strict, she felt she was great.
As a non traditional student, who worked full time as a teacher, my coworker couldn't really speak about the sense of community or activities, because she was only looking to get her degree and advance her career. She did say that although she was older than most of her peers, they were all welcoming and nice.
I'm still waiting to hear from St. John's but I'm leaning toward Speech@NYU. I'll definitely be declining my offer to Adelphi because the tuition will be more than NYU. I'll also probably decline my offer to LIU Brooklyn because they are on academic probabtion with CAA and ASHA.
I wish I could just hear back from SJU so I can make a fully informed decision about where I'll be on September.

Thats how I currently feel like they have lost my application... I'm just curious because they have not sent out rejections or waitlists either. Also does your coworker have any insight on the program even though they attended a few years ago?
I'd be happy to ask her any questions you have. I know the school allowed her to do her internships/clinic/externships on The weekends and during the summer. She worked full time as a teacher while enrolled in the program. The evening classes are the reason I applied. I would have loved to apply to the CUNY's but they are day programs, and with the financial commitments at his point in my life, I can't quit my job or go part time.

Has anyone not heard back from the St. Johns University yet or has talked to anyone in admissions to when we should be hearing back by? I am getting quite nervous as this is the only school I have not heard back from yet and the April 15th deadline is approaching and I want to know if they are still sending out acceptances at this point. As well does anyone have any insight on the program, the classes professors etc? Thanks!
It's the same situation for me. I have not heard back from them either and they are the last school I'm waiting on. I keep calling admissions but get conflicting information about acceptance deadlines. I wish they would be more forthcoming. I also never recieved a straight answer regarding how admissions decisions are sent out. Since some people recieved acceptances last month the only logical conclusion I can think of is that they are waiting to see who accepts/declines their offer before they send out their next round of acceptances.
Anyone have any luck calling the department? I wonder if they accept mainly their undergrads...
BTW my coworker attended their program a few years ago and heard back so late in April that she thought they lost her application!

Sorry to interject, but had a question about LIU Brooklyn. Where did you find the total cost for the program? I thought I had bookmarked the page with all of those details, but with their site being re-branded it seems to have disappeared. I am pretty set on NYMC and submitted my deposit there, but have been trying to weigh out the final costs for all programs before I officially decline my acceptances at LIU and NYU. Thank you!
http://liu.edu/Brooklyn/Enrollment-Services/Tuition
I just checked EdFind, after not looking since the fall, and I see LIU Brooklyn is "Accreditation of Probation."
Yikes, that makes me nervous and might change my opinion. I called ASHA and was transfered to the CAA department where I had to leave a message. The rep told me that in order for someone to have their ASHA license or C's you would have needed to attend an accredited school.
Anyone have info about schools on probation? Is it likely LIU will lose their CAA accreditation, and essentially make their degree irrelevant?

I can't remember exactly why she stressed the importance of a car. I remember asking her if the school provided transportation from the LIRR because I was considering commuting by train and that is when she said she really values her car. I want to say there was somethings she had to do off-site. I remember she mentioned a class that occasionally met at a nursing home for the professor to demonstrate techniques on actual patients. That being said, it is a university in Queens, so I'm sure you would not be the only student without a car. It may just be the difference of convenience when it comes to having a car and using public transportation.
As for the potential credit increase, she really didn't have any details on how much or when. It seemed like it was just talk in the department that she caught wind of. I'd imagine if you were entering the Fall, they would need to let you know of the credit increase before your started. It would be a little ridiculous if they added requirements when you were halfway through, but who knows with these schools! I wouldn't shy away from the program because of potential increased credit requirements but at the same time I wouldn't commit to this program purely because you like the amount of credits being on the low end.
I do hope they inform potential students if the credit increase goes through. Or maybe those students would be grandfathered in. I would assume it would have to be after their next ASHA review, right?
It would make a difference for me because I was offered a small scholarship to LIU Brooklyn, but due to the fact that their program is 63 credits, the cost of the master's program basically worked out to be the same price as St. John's. If St. John's were increase their credits then LIU would definitely be more appealing.

I was unable to attend St. John's big open house but attended a smaller one where I was able to speak to a student currently in the program. She had positive things to say about the program. She said the professors are approachable but, she relies more on a small group of friends for information. She guesstimated classes have 25-30 people. You need to complete 60 hours in the campus clinic either your first or second semester (depending on your cohort- one does it first and one does it second) and it is up to your to make sure those hours are fulfilled. She explained it could get competitive, they'll send an email asking for a student to do screenings and you need to answer promptly in order to ensure you are getting enough hours in the clinic (she also noted she was able to complete 70 hours- so the hours are there you just need to be diligent). Their clinic is not on campus but close by. She stated she relies heavily on her car and she is not sure how students do it without one. As you may know, St. John's program is 46 credits at this time, she wasn't positive, but heard they may be increasing their credit requirement (even if it does happen, it MIGHT not affect the incoming students for fall 2017, but again none of this is definite). Estimated time to complete their current program is two years (this involves taking classes in the summer in between year 1 and year 2). She was a full time graduate assistant and said being a GA and a graduate student is A LOT, she recommended if I was interested in one to only do it part-time. Most of her classes are held in the evening (5-7 and 7-9pm) but that does not rule out the possibility of a morning or afternoon class at some point in the program. That was the basic gist of our conversation, I tried to get an understanding of what a day in the life of a graduate student at St. John's was!
I am leaning more towards accepting the offer at Molloy because when I visited their program I got more of a tight-knit feel. They are a class of 40 rather than 50 and the only accept students in the Fall (So the difference of 200 graduate students at St. John's and 80 at Molloy). I felt more of a nurturing environment there while I got more of a need for independence vibe from St. John's. St. John's seems to have a wonderful program but given my personality, I just see myself spending the next two years at Molloy. Although my decision is not final. It is getting down to the wire and I'll be sending in a deposit shortly.
I hope this information was helpful!!!
Thank you for a really thorough explanation on St. John's!!!
The increasing of credits is kind of alarming and would definitely influence my decision. Did she mention what it would go up to? 60 credits?
Did the student feel like she needed her car to go back and forth from campus to clinic? Right now I don't have a car, born and raised in Manhattan, so that could be a potential negative. I was really hoping to rely on public transportation.

I agree, I wish every school provided the same information. Adelphi has sent me two letters since being accepted to provide me with more information, while other programs just sent out the acceptance and kinda leave it up to you to figure out the next steps. But, as a student who will be taking out loans, that is not enough to go an extra $30,000 in debt. Best of luck with St John's, I will most likely be declining my offer there and I hope that helps you out!!
Thanks!
I see you were looking for information that would help you decide between St John's and Malloy. What did you find out about St John's? I was not able to attend their open house.

Same thing happened to me! I received an email around 5pm yesterday saying the decision was available but could not find anything on the portal. I wasn't too anxious because I hadn't been asked to interviews and figured it was a rejection. I checked this morning and there was a link at the bottom with the official rejection. Not sure why there was a delay but good luck!!
Side note: Did anyone else receive an additional letter from Adelphi explaining how estimated tuition for the program with be $90,000+ ?! I don't understand why their program is $20-30,000 more than all the others I have been accepted.
I also recieved that letter. I appreciate them being forthcoming but I don't understand why it is so much more money compared to other private schools in the area. I'll probably be declining their offer.
I'm still waiting to hear back from St. John's.

I was accepted for the full time track but I'm having reservations. Since I work full time in a school and have the summers off I thought I could do a good chunk of the hours in the summer, but it seems like NYU might not allow that. I completely understand getting a feeling for the work environment and learning the necessary skills on site Monday- Friday, but if the ASHA requirment is 400 hours I can't see why it matters what day of the week or time of year I accrue those hours.
I have one colleague, a former teacher, who went back to school for SLP and continued to teach, so I know some schools do make accomdations.
Good luck and I hope you will keep us posted on how it's going!
Online (at least part time) SLP programs??

Look into Speech@NYU. Part time is at least 6 credits. All classes are online and you only have to come to NY for 2 long weekends during the course of your studies. Most of the live classes are held between 4-9 PM Eastern time, but there are a few earlier classes.
