Hi! I follow you on IG. I'm not sure about the cost at St Augustine...maybe I can offer you an alternative? I attend ENMU it's around $800 for 3 units. I qualified for financial aid for 1 year for their leveling courses.

Thanks for the great advice. I was going to give them a few more weeks to respond. I'm sure they are insanely busy and get 100s of emails. We'll see!

Did anyone have trouble getting LORs as a distance student? So far, only 1 professor has accepted my request for an LOR. One professor, I sent an email a little over a week ago... the other 5 days ago. How long should I wait before typing up a follow email? I don't want to come off pushy or annoying. I did not spend a lot of time cultivating close relationships with these professors. I'm afraid they won't feel comfortable writing me one because I've never interacted with them in person.

Did they provide any funding? I am applying there as well but I am worried about the cost. I'm also terrified that my quant scores on the GRE are going to be abysmal. Do you know if a low quant score can disqualify during the admission process? To the OP: Imani a youtuber is an NYU distance student that discuss her experience on a regular basis. Here's a specific video concerning the program at NYU.

Oh ok, that's a good idea.I hope they do that at my test taking center.

Oh no! I don’t know if I can remember the codes for all the schools I’m applying to. Especially at the end of the exam and my brain is fried. ?

How does this work? Would I be allowed to have the list of schools written down with their GRE codes on the day I take the exam? Or is their a search functionality where you can type the name of the school? Thanks

I'm having a tough time as well! I wish I had real advice but here are some sources that I've find useful. https://slpecho.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/letterofintent_slpgradschool/

BUMP This is so helpful!

That makes sense for a history program. Sorry, I assumed you were referring to SLP grad programs. Good luck to you too.

That's good news! I wasn't sure if there was a delay because of the holiday season.

According to ed find: GPA Range for Applicants Offered Admission: 3.30-3.90 https://www.asha.org/eweb/ashadynamicpage.aspx?efk=38caae10-5dce-46f6-abb4-a72908c1ec26&efp=16456&site=ashacms&webcode=edfinddetail

Thanks so much for your input. I'm glad most people think ADHD is legitimate. I have had a psychotherapist who didn't ADHD was legitimate. They felt it was being overdiagnosed. Another psychiatrist told me ADHD is only for people who are in school. I probably have HORRIBLE luck with professionals in the mental health field. A grad student recently told me they have been trying to convince one of their professors that it's a real diagnoses, by showing them research articles. I've had people tell me not to accept the label because ADHD isn't real. That's why I was apprehensive about mentioning it. It's comforting to know that there are people who actually accept that it's real! I'm also confused by the advice that grad essays should be impersonal when everything I've read has suggested the opposite. Who knows what they are looking for.

Thanks for your advice. I don't even know where I want to focus my research interests. I feel like undergraduate classes have only scratched the surface and I don't feel like I enough to go on to make a choice. I'll have to do more research. I'm surprised that you feel that grad essays are LESS personal than undergrad essays. Literally, everything I've read has stated to try to "hook" the reader with a compelling story in order to grab their attention. I mean, if the essay prompt is "Why do you want to become an SLP?" why wouldn't a personal story as to how you came to that conclusion be appropriate? I'm confused.

Would it be wise to mention something like ADHD and how you learned strategies to overcome it on your SOP/letter of intent? To show how you've grown despite your diagnosis. I'm wary of discussing it because I know a lot of people who don't even believe that ADHD is legitimate. Should I just talking about overcoming a learning disability? At the same time I don't want admissions to label me with a "disability" and not cut out for a grad program. Or should I just leave it out completely?

oh no,i have my gre scheduled for the first week of December and i have one app due Jan 1st. Is this a hard and fast rule?

What is the difference between Dallas and Austin campuses? Do we have a better chance of getting into one over the other? If so, please let me fill me in. LOL

Sorry! :( Did you apply right at midnight? Do you know the exact information they want on the application? Is it 1 or 2 supervisors info that is required?

Did you get into LL SLPA program?

from i can see on my unofficial transcript no percentage is shown.

thanks so much!

Is the cost for this program super high? I was told it was around 45k which is much cheaper compared to other online programs. But now I'm starting to think that was the cost of the on campus program and not the distance program.

How does this work if your undergrad doesn't use +/- grades? Would a B mean that you wouldn't have to retake it?
