It really, really does. You still have more schools to hear from than I (and probably most of us) have total applications out, so try to stay as positive as you can. My friend who is in SLP school now always told me I just needed ONE acceptance. ONE. And you've got a lot of applications still out. Good luck, and keep us updated! 

U of the Pacific emailed me with their decision 33 minutes ago fyi!!

Congrats @li'lsebastian!!! I had the same feelings and reaction!

Just got accepted to Virginia! I found out at work and burst into tears, I really didn't think I would get it anywhere!

I disagree, I do not think you will lose any chance of being admitted... I think you would have to do a lot more than that for them to take back an offer. I am not sure how frequent this happens in this field, but I know it is common to contact your top choice about funding in other fields. As long as you are tactful I think it is fine. They understand that funding is very important in your decision, and may be motivated to offer you something if you express they are your first choice. I only have one example, but my ex did this for law school and was not offered any extra funding. However, another law student suggested he try because he had done the same and the program matched the scholarship he was offered from another program.

I think this sums it up well (I just found it on a random website):
"2. Be prepared to do some good-faith negotiating on the financial aid offers you receive. I saw a number of admitted students do this the wrong way. They would contact me, and say, "I've just received your financial aid offer. Another school has offered me twice as much — will you match or exceed that amount?" This is not the way to handle things.
You can negotiate offers by contacting the person who signed your admission letter. Start by thanking him or her for admitting you and for the generous financial aid the school has already offered. This is such a simple gesture, but it goes a long way. Let them know you are considering some other options — which they expect — but do not indicate how much you have been offered elsewhere unless you are asked.
Finally, ask if the school has a policy that enables staff to re-evaluate a financial aid package. The answer to this question will most likely be yes. Then ask, "Would you consider re-evaluating my offer, and can I provide any information to assist with that?"

Your request may not result in additional funding, but it will be met with a much more positive response about re-evaluating your award."

Congrats everyone, I was waitlisted and rejected everywhere last year, its so exciting to hear all the acceptances. 

But I absolutely agree that it is important how you word  your request.

Check the Emerson portal guys! I just got accepted! 

Emerson posted my acceptance on the portal today! YAY!!! Good luck to all and check your portals!

@lindsay359 The U of Arizona website says acceptance letters will be mailed by March 15!

I thought it might be helpful to start a thread for people to ask  and answer about specific programs—maybe from first-hand experience or things we have learned at open houses, etc. I know there are separate threads about each school but maybe we can compile some more updated info.
With that said... can anyone speak about Northern Arizona U? I love Flagstaff but want to know more about the school and program. Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences to share? Any impressions on the program as a whole? Insight on clinical opportunities? Are you given good opportunities for a wide range of specialties or is it geared more towards a certain type of population?
Thanks!
