SUNY Buffalo State https://m.facebook.com/groups/661410457330209

I received an email from them this morning and I have been accepted! Best of luck to you!

Okay that's good to know. It's getting close to April 15 and I would like to hear from them before I accept any offers!

Has anyone heard from Buffalo State? Or have any idea when we can expect to hear?

Do you know if Western will send their emails out at about the same time?

No problem, I'm happy to help! For the states, I applied to Syracuse, SUNY Buffalo State, SUNY University at Buffalo, SUNY at Fredonia, Ithaca, College of Saint Rose, Edinboro, Bowling Green, and Michigan State. I sent all of them my CDA grades, and Ithaca, Fredonia, Edinboro, and Buffalo State required the WES evaluations. So far, I have been accepted to Ithaca and wait listed at Michigan State and Bowling Green for the States, and I still have more schools to hear from. What is your other option if you do not do the CDA program? I hope that this information is helpful! If you have anymore questions, either reply on here or message me!

I don't know too much about the different CDA programs in Ontario other than Georgian. I have heard some negative stories about St Lawrence and their program (not enough insurance for students so they could not complete certain placements), and more positive stories about Durham's program, but I don't know that much about the reputation of each program. Sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance!

I applied to Dal and they wanted to see all post secondary grades, regardless if they were from my undergrad degree. I'm not sure how much they were considered, but I have been waitlisted at Dal so I was very happy with that result, as it is such a competitive pool of applicants. As for the states, they considered the grades a post baccalaureate degree, which made my gpa for my CSD courses a 4.0, and covered all of my required speech prerequisites. Some schools required me to complete a WES evaluation for all of my credits, because the schooling was not completed in the States, and in this case they evaluated all my undergraduate and post graduate credits together, and gave me a total gpa that was almost 3 points higher than my undergrad gpa alone. What CDA program were you accepted to? I went to Georgian in Barrie and really enjoyed it. I know it will depend on the person and what's right for them, but for me, this program was definitely the right route, and I'm glad I did it before deciding to apply for SLP. Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions about the program, I'm happy to help!

I am a Canadian student and I took the CDA program in Ontario last year, and loved it! At the time, I didn't feel prepared to apply for my masters, so I decided to do the CDA program. I thought it was the best preparation for grad school. I gained a lot of direct therapy experience in a variety of settings, and definitely feel more confident as a clinician. As for grades, I know that in Ontario the schools do not recognize them, but other provinces and the states do for sure! I've been accepted for SLP starting this fall, and I honestly don't think I wouldn't had I not completed the CDA program! Best of luck in whatever you decide to do!

I just heard from Ithaca today via email and I have been accepted. Hope that you hear good news from them as well!

Congrats! I am hoping the same. For now, the waiting game continues!

I just received an email that I have been wait listed at Dalhousie! I am a first time applicant so I am very happy with this response! Hoping to be accepted off of the list!

Congrats! Your hard work has paid off

Yes for sure! I think I am going to wait until next week, and then I will contact them to see about my status.

According to last year's results, we should be hearing from Michigan State and Bowling Green soon! Best of luck!!

Congrats! How did they notify you?

I'm waiting to hear from Michigan State, Ithaca, Bowling Green, Edinboro, College of Saint Rose, SUNY at Fredonia, SUNY Buffalo State, Dalhousie, University of Toronto and Western. The wait is getting unbearable!

I'm in the same boat. I've received no email or portal change, and nothing via postal mail. I am in Canada, so postal mail would take longer if they did send something, but I am surprised that I haven't heard anything when I know a lot of other applicants that have been accepted, waitlisted or rejected. Have you contacted them about the status of your application?

I think that there are still a fair bit of people in your situation! I know that according to the results page from last year, none of the schools that I applied to will be sending out acceptances until later in March, so your situation could be the same! Don't get discouraged!

Does anyone have any advice for College of Saint Rose interviews? I have an e-interview tomorrow with Professor Julia Unger and Professor James Feeny, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Everyone, On February 10th, I received an email about a phone interview for Syracuse. My interview is this upcoming week, and it says it is brief and informal, but I was still wondering if anyone has any tips for this conversation? Also, I received an email from The College of Saint Rose on February 18th about an e-interview the first week of March. Does anyone have any tips for this interview as well? Thanks in advance for all of the help!
