Hello ☺️ I'm from NY and I am currently in grad school. I would recommend Yeshiva University because they just started their program so a bit easier to get into, Mercy College, SUNY New Paltz, NY Medical College (if you want to do Medical SLP and want to go to a school that doesn't require pre reqs), Adelphi, Hofstra and SUNY Cortland. There's a bunch of others too! Your best bet is to go to ASHA EdFind, look for schools by state, then click each school and see the stats they require and see if it matches up with yours. Hope that helped!

I know but I think it might be a bit too early to tell what new programs are starting for next fall that's why I stated the programs that started this fall cause they will still be less competitive than more established programs which I think is the reason you posted this question on this forum in the first place.

University of Delaware is starting their program this fall not next and they already had 300+ applications because their application was on CSDCAS. The programs that just started this fall are Cal Baptist, Yeshiva, Delaware to name a few and you probably would have a better chance at getting into a newer program.

Yeshiva University accepts anyone who applies because it's a new program. You might want to add it to your list

I'm not too sure but I actually don't think so. But what I would do in that situation is just have her write the recommendation and send it out to all the schools (because most schools want three recs) but just have her state that she went to said school. Thats what I did with one of my recommender's. I told her to try to incorporate the name of the school she went to but still make it general enough to send to every school and it ended up working out. Hope that helped!

You input your recommender's email address and then CSDCAS sends them a link to the form they need to fill out. You will be notified when they complete and submit the recommendation. Your recommender's only need to do this once on CSDCAS no matter how many schools you are applying to on that site.

Did you get accepted?! If you did, don't forget to join the Facebook group so we can meet you

It's pretty easy going. Just know what population you want to work with and what type of facilities you want to work in. Also be able to talk about undergraduate speech classes that you like and didn't like. That was pretty much it! It was more of a conversation than an interview. Good luck!

Hey girly! Its https://m.facebook.com/groups/607801679380031?ref=bookmarks Cant wait to meet you

I am going to a school that specializes in medical speech pathology but they offer TSSLD and I am going to do it just in case. I agree with the statement that it helps with job security. Also, the way I see it is if you have to work in a school for a few years to get experience and then start working in a hospital, it's not such a bad thing. Just be prepared for anything.

NY Medical College is a two year program and does not require you to have pre-requisites.

Good luck!

Apply to Yeshiva University! They are still accepting applications and I have the same stats as you and I got accepted

I wish I was more realistic about the schools I chose. I applied to all out of state schools because I wanted to leave NY. I was willing to go anywhere and pay any price. I didn't get into a single one, shocker! While my friends from undergrad were all getting into schools in NY. So I guess maybe have a good mix of both. I would think a school is more likely to choose a local applicant cause there is more of a guarantee that they would attend that school but that's just my theory. Last minute I scrambled to apply to whatever schools were still accepting applications and I got in to a school...in NY lol. I guess it wasn't meant for me to leave NY just yet.

Has anyone applied to Valdosta University for the spring semester or just in general? Can anyone tell me about their admissions process? Maybe like how long it took to hear back from them? Thank you!

I heard that for graduate studies that financial aid is not need based but actually based on the cost of the program you are enrolling in.

I Is the application on CSDCAS?

I am from NY and I applied to schools in Cali as well as all across the nation because I wanted to start fresh in a whole new place and I did not get in anywhere. Meanwhile, all my friends who did apply to NY schools from NY all got into grad school. So I would have a mix of both just in case.

You don't have to be bilingual but it helps a lot.

You are literally the sweetest bf ever! Do you have a brother?! (Lmao thought a girl could try) But I'm not sure what your girlfriend's GPA or GRE scores but I guess there's always room for improvement. She could retake classes that she didn't do so well in cause it shows a drive to do well. Really study and then retake the GREs using Magoosh. But try not to take it more than three times. But I think the thing hat would be most helpful is to get real world experience. Say for example she has an interest in working with children with autism, then she should try to find a job or volunteer position with that population. Participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible (walks, clubs, support groups). It's a great way to network and get experience. Make sure your girlfriend asks professors that truly know her to write her LORs. Tell her to fine tune her SOP to each program (talk about what aspects of each program that she likes). Find the programs that accept more applicants through the ASHA edfind website even though now it seems like every program gets an absurd amount of applications ? Just tell her to keep trying because it WILL happen it just not might be in the timeframe she wanted it to happen but it so will!

Yes! I registered for the one offered by Iona College. It's in person and kind of expensive but oh well ?

Is this for Yeshiva University?

University of Delaware: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1098659060185112

I did not apply to Mercy because I just can't deal with the professors for another two years lol. I honestly don't think I would have gotten in anyways because I think they have a quota of how many students they can take from mercy (but not sure). My GPA is 3.6. You private message me if you want to know more .

No problem! I personally did not like the program at Mercy. The professors can be two faced and very rude. I do not feel as though I received a quality education despite the amount I paid for it. I did like how small the program was so that everyone knew each other's name. But that also means that everyone is in your business. I also did not like how the professors did not truly support their students. Their were many times that I emailed professors and my advisor in the program to meet and they could not because they were too busy. I guess that's another downfall of a small program with such few faculty members. But this is just my opinion and yours may be totally different once you start! I wish you the best of luck!
