Thanks but I was looking for programs next fall not this fall.
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

Is it possible for a professor to write a rec for just 1 school? For example, I have 2 professors in mind to write my recommendations, but another one that went to one school I'm applying to. Can you pick to "apply" recommendations to specific applications, if that makes any sense?
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!

Hi everyone! As CSDCAS does not open until August and I try to figure out my recommendation situation, I was just wondering how recommendations work within the CSDCAS application system.
Do I have to send links to my recommenders for every application, or is there a way my recommenders just have to upload one generalized letter and it applies to every app?
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.

Thank you so much.
You were right about it being more like a conversation, I was surprised how comfortable I felt.
Did you get accepted?! If you did, don't forget to join the Facebook group so we can meet you

I have an interview at Yeshiva next week.
Any tips about the interview questions/process?
This will be my first graduate school interview so I am not sure what to expect, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!!!
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!

Is there a Facebook page for accepted Yeshiva University Graduate applicants ?
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.

I have an undergraduate degree in English and need to take all prerequisites to get into an SLP program - does anyone know of programs that admit students into their master's programs that integrate the prereqs? I am only aware of CU Boulder and University of the Pacific. I am hoping to apply to a few of these programs (if more exist) and apply for post-bacc programs (post-bacc is up for debate... not sure if I should take these on my own instead.)
Thanks so much!
NY Medical College is a two year program and does not require you to have pre-requisites.

I'm applying to schools in Oklahoma because I'm afraid of this happening to me! I would love to leave OK, but I'm applying to a few schools here just in case I don't get in to my out of state choices.
Good luck!

So here I am recently graduated from undergrad, and I received rejections from all the programs I applied to. I met minimums for all of these programs but did not have a "competitive application". I was fully aware that my application lacked competitive aspects, but was hoping for a shot in the dark.
That being said...I am here looking for any honest advice! I wold particularly like to hear from anyone that has had to apply more than once before receiving an acceptance. Being an SLP has been my dream for so many years and I just can't give up the first time around.
My stats:
Undergrad degree B.S. in Com. Sci. and Disorders - 3.475 GPA, ~3.7 GPA in my classes for the major. Dean's list 4 semesters, President's list 1 semester.
GRE - 147V, 147Q, 4.5W
No volunteer/shadowing or research experience. My only extra-curricular was being a NSSHLA member for senior year. I worked my entire college career to support myself (full time for a year and a half of being in the major). I was a manager at my job so have a lot of leadership and people/interpersonal skills from that. Because of my demanding work schedule I didn't really have time for volunteering or research opportunities.
My plan as of now is to find a job somewhat related to the field...looking at special needs clinics, nursing facilities, maybe something in the school system. I also plan to being shadow SLPs in different settings. Conveniently, I am a local to where I attended undergrad and plan to stay in the area. I think this will be beneficial because I can continue to keep in touch with professors and get to know them better so that I can get better letters of recommendation the second time around. I will take the GRE again to raise my score. The first time I studied maybe 2 months before, this time i plan to study longer before taking and utilize more study tools.
Any advice? Do I have a shot if I can get work and volunteer experience, and raise my GRE score? Any suggestions or comments are welcome! Thanks a bunch!!!
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!

As to the second portion of your question, from my experience and others' experiences, financial aid has more to do with what your financial need is, firstly, and what you bring to the table secondly, rather than the distance you travel to study.
That said, look into schools that are known for multiple TA/GTF spots, or funding, or grants and scholarships. I did not do much research in this area, and regret it slightly. However, I had to stay on the West Coast, so my options were more limited.
Hope this helps!
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.

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!

Hi everyone! Where can I take an online hearing science course this summer? Specifically, hearing science -- not a combo speech/hearing science course. I am waiting to get into a program and they want me to take a hearing science course, not a combo course like I already have. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
Is this for Yeshiva University?

Wow thanks for the heads up. I also did not have a good experience at my undergrad (Iona) but some people loved it.. I guess not everyone is gonna love a program. Luckily it's only 2 years so I'll be in and out. Did you end up applying to mercy for your masters or did you look at other schools? Also, what's your gpa? Mine was a 3.1 so if I can get in you def can!
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

Ah that's so sweet! How did you like their undergrad program? I thought the professors seemed nice and super approachable. What did you like best about mercy/ what was your least favorite aspect? Any advice is appreciated
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!

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!
