[Anyone have acceptances yet? (UMD?)]

Wow, that's super early! But I totally get you. I had to re-read my e-mail from NAU to check if it was a mistake as well.

I have also just received my first acceptance from NAU yesterday, 1/30. I was surprised because I submitted my application last minute, 1/13.

Apparently, their cohort is full. ? I found out today.

If it makes you guys feel a little better I am turning down my spot!! I imagine they're just sorting through who isn't accepting. Best of luck!

Thank you! And thanks for the update regarding your declination.  Was there a deadline for turning down the offer?

Unfortunately nothing from my side.. Did you have any news from them? 

Nothing either.  I’m so nervous.

Thanks for the info! I got the same kind email and it also bothers me now whether I should have further contact or not... Have you tried to ask about their waitlist information? 

I haven’t yet.  I’m on the fence about doing so.

Hi! I was waitlisted and still haven’t heard back. Wondering whether or not I should email to inquire, but the waitlist email did request for prospective students to refrain from emailing until they do.  Nervous!

Unfortunately, as silly as it is, from my own research you do need to enroll in a program.  My intention was to find my own preceptor (which I did) and log my hours and have them signed off and apply.  According to the SLPA advisor in my current program, you need to have someone from a university (or SLPA program) sign off for you as well.  I asked if they would be willing to sign me off if I completed my hours (and BTW the preceptor MUST have their CCCs).  They said no, they wouldn't.  So you either have to go through an SLP program at a 4 yr school which is shorter but more expensive - or go through a two-year longer but cheaper community college program.

I even emailed the community colleges, to find out if they would waive classes as I was a major.  No deal. 

For the record, it sounds as though in my area (SoCal) Loma Linda is the least expensive and is pretty quick, as far as the 4 yr universities go.  But please re-post if you find anything that contradicts my own findings.

Thanks so much for all of the information! That's what I thought as well.

During my undergrad, I DID have some hours signed off by a university CCC-SLP. I just need to complete more hours in order to complete the 100 hours minimum.

Would you happen to know if that's permissible then?

[California SLPA (Question)]

Hello everyone!

As a recent graduate (from California) with a Bachelor's in Speech-Language Pathology, I have decided to take a year or two off to gather some experience and build up my confidence in the field before applying to graduate school.

My goal is to become a certified SLP-A but I'm a bit confused about how to meet the minimum qualifications.

I have a B.S., however, I do not have all of the 100 supervised hours required.

What are my options in order to complete the 100 supervised hours? Do I have to enroll in a program? Or where/who should I turn to?

Thanks so much! Feel free to correct me if I put out any wrong information. I may have misunderstood the ASHA requirements.
