  1. Thank you so much for your opinion! I've been getting both sides from friends and family. Some say to go where I love, and others say its not worth starting your life in debt. And that I may end up liking USF. Just not sure if I will or not! I'm hoping by seeing the clinic tomorrow, that will help me decide.
  2. Hi everyone! I am feeling very lost on what to do right now. About two months ago, I had decided on a graduate program that I felt like was a perfect fit for me. I went to the open house before I was admitted, and fell in love with the faculty, and the facility. I was very excited to be accepted in their first round of admissions. I went ahead and put my deposit down with them, and also found roommates to live with. Two days ago, I received an email saying I was taken off the waitlist at another school (USF). I never imagined I would be accepted there, so I was completely in shock! I know USF is ranked higher than the other school I was planning on attending, but I have actually heard mixed reviews about USF's program. I am originally from Tampa, so I know going to USF would be a lot cheaper than me going to the other school (it is a private school). When I was looking at tuition, the private school would be about $22,000 more in tuition. I could possibly go back to Tampa and live at home for free, and have cheaper tuition, but i'm not sure if I will actually enjoy the program. I did set up an appointment to go look at the clinic tomorrow, but I only have Monday to make a decision. Has anyone ever been in this position before? Or does anyone have any good advice on what I should do? I feel so stuck. I absolutely loved the other school I originally committed to, but not sure if its worth to spend the extra money to go there. I feel very blessed to have been accepted anywhere. This is my second year applying- I went from 0 acceptances last year, to 4 this year!
  3. Florida State University offers a Bridge Program. I completed my prerequisites through them, and loved it!
  4. Hmm.. I don't think it was ever unorganized! I have friends who are in the regular graduate program, and seem to love it! When I was in the Bridge program, I was always able to email a professor, and they replied pretty fast. And I feel like they always took the time to help you out if you had a question or needed any tutoring! I would keep asking around just in case, but I never had a bad experience with the professors or with the Bridge Program. But it may be different for graduate school!
  5. Hi! I have heard great things about their distance program. I did my undergrad at FSU, and also completed their Bridge Program (which was online), and loved all the professors! The professors are great and very helpful!
  6. Probably about a month ago, I received an email asking me to send them a 2 min or less video answering some questions. I was accepted about a week later. I believe they are sending out their next wave of acceptances this week. Good luck to you! I plan on attending JU!
  7. Here is the FB link if anyone who was accepted to JU is looking for it! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1049225735143120/
  8. Sorry for the late response! I literally have no idea about this! Have you tried calling them yet? I think they are just sending out acceptances in waves right now!
  9. Hi! Was there more than one type of program at JU? I applied for their regular program I guess. I think it is 5 semesters in total, but maybe I am wrong!
  10. Is anyone 100% committing to Jacksonville University for the graduate SLP program this Fall? I am almost sure that I will be accepting my offer here. I would love to get to know you all before the program starts! I was thinking about creating a FB page, and trying to find possible roommates!
  11. It was only a 2 hour drive for me, so I made sure to go to the open house! They said they were expecting close to 400 applications this year, and would take about 35 people. So I feel so honored that I was accepted! And I am 99% sure I am going to accept. USF waitlisted me, but I was told I was in a small group of people who they will be reconsidering after April 15th if there are enough slots open. I am originally from Tampa, so my parents are there, and tuition would be cheaper there. So if there is a slight chance I get in there, I may reconsider. But I doubt I will get in. JU was always my #1 choice though!!!
  12. Ah, yay!! I am so happy we both got in too! I was so nervous about my video not being good enough. I am so happy they made their decisions this week! And good idea! I live in Tallahassee, FL right now, but I went to JU's open house and absolutely loved it! The faculty were great, and the facility is wonderful! Jacksonville is a big city, so there is a lot to do there too!
  13. I have faith you will get an acceptance somewhere!! And I have my fingers crossed for you for JU! It is so competitive to get in to grad school! This is my second year applying, and I finally got accepted somewhere!
  14. I feel like I am checking my email every 10 minutes . This wait is killing me! I am so tempted to call JU tomorrow and ask when they are going to make a decision, but I don't want to annoy them! And I am sure they figured that out in your essay! I just have no idea how many people we are competing against! Ugh, this is my top choice! I will be so bummed if I don't get in!
  15. I don't know why I am just seeing this now! Lol. I went to FSU for undergrad, and did their Comm Dis Bridge program as well ( I majored in Psych, and also was in the Bridge program to have my Comm Dis prerequisites completed). My stats are in my signature I know we are also both waiting for Jacksonville! I am so nervous! Will you go to JU if you get in?
  16. @j_rae I think we should all be hearing back sometime this week! Or worst case next week. Did you apply anywhere else? Worst case you are waitlisted for now, and then you will be reconsidered for the next round of applicants! It's so scary not knowing!
  17. Thanks for letting me know! And I am hoping to have an answer today or tomorrow! The wait is absolutely killing me. Like I said before, this is my number one choice! I would love to stay in FL! And I am sure your video came out great! I definitely read from a script I made, lol. So hopefully that doesn't matter! I tried to memorize as much as I could so I didn't have to look down that much. I really wish we knew more about how many applicants they are going to choose for the March 1st deadline!
  18. I have extra views too! I am so nervous! I just want them to make a decision already! Fingers crossed for all of us! I wonder how many videos they are evaluating?
  19. I have! I received an email about a week again saying I was rejected.
  20. Ah, i'm sure you did well! My video was about 1 min 50 sec. I really hope it was fine! And how can you tell if they have watched it? I can see mine has like 5 views, but I think its because I clicked on my link a few times! I hope we have an answer by the end of this week!
