Going to school with no funding
Rorororosy replied to Curlylets's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
You have to remember that you're investing in a career, not just a job. Taking out loans and paying for school is expected, you will pay them back but it will be based on your income if you do an income based loan repayment. Also, your education and investing in it is something that will never fail you, unless of course you don't drop out. You'll be working for 30+ years, I think its more important to look at the experiences or specialty fields schools have, or some faculty members that you want to work with. Funding is great but at the end of the day you should go where you want for the experiences and really weight out your options instead of being lead astray by rankings or the though that just because a school is more expensive its a better school. Good luck! -

Waitlist SLP Fall 2016 Applicants
Rorororosy replied to Rorororosy's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Yes already did that! I actually got a position doing research this summer at UMD so they know I am very INTERESTED! I was in contact with them but they assured me I wouldn't know anything until April 15th and later. Is that the date they gave you to accept your offer? -
Does School Ranking Really Matter?
Rorororosy replied to HopefulSLP123's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
That is amazing feedback! I think it matters what you do with the experience and who you make connections with- 16 replies

awesome thanks! I bet it will help some people make decisions! Hey people who have been accepted, when did they give you guys a deadline to accept or decline, is it april 15th? Is that pretty standard? Just wondering when to hear back from the waitlist of doom!

Rorororosy replied to HopefulSLP123's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Your externship matters, the rotations you do matter and what you get yourself into. A degree will be a degree, its about networking and making sure you have the adequate experience, you'll just have to work a bit harder to make those connections but it can be done. I would say ranking matters if you're planning on getting a PhD. Otherwise you're going to get a job, its just like any degree. If you're pursuing a higher education it matters, otherwise your experience , your interview where you worked will matter.- 16 replies

That is great advice! you can also still try to get scholarships, they are available. It is hard when you have to make those kind of decisions, luckily I waited for my husband to finish medical school so I could go to school. Even then I am thinking about working part time. BEING A STUDENT IS SO HARD.....give me money! lol

Rorororosy replied to slptobe92's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Sorry , what are you stats? Is it your first time applying? -
When I interviewed they seemed great!
-
OMG yeah! ahhhhhh

Why didn't you apply to other smaller programs, like UDC? The schools you are applying to are generally more competitive. Asha Ed Find is amazing for providing you with stats, although your mother is trying to look out for you, it doesn't make sense if you're trying to go back into SLP. Maybe taking some more courses in communications to strengthen your GPA or getting more experience in the field would help more. Also reaching out to schools for feedback! There are a lot of other options. You could do research with someone at a school you want to go to, there are always forms and ways to volunteer and become involved.
