    You can take the Praxis at any time.  I believe in a forum on Reddit there were some students who accidentally took it in undergrad and passed.  I have 2 Praxis Practice tests in PDF format if anyone is interested.  I can email them to you.  The closest thing to the real test as far as how it is administered is the $15-20 practice test ETS offers.  It is timed and formatted JUST like the real computer test.  

    Thank you so much! I'll PM you my email!

    I've finally heard back from all my programs and I'm officially done with the waiting! Earlier today I had a phone call with UW which solidified my decision to attend their program. I just declined SDSU and SFSU, so hopefully some people will be hearing from those programs soon :)

    Congratulations on your decision!! I accepted my offer for the University of Washington's MedSLP program the other day! :) I am certain I won't regret this decision at all. I'm so relieved that this grad school application stuff is finally over for me. I'm very excited for the both of us!

    What schools has everyone decided to go to and why did you choose them?

    I accepted my offer at the University of Washington's MedSLP program a couple of days ago! This was a difficult decision because I got accepted to other great programs, but I knew that I could not deny this amazing opportunity to attend UW. This program has a specialty track in my desired area of interest so, needless to say, when I received my letter of acceptance I was beyond thrilled! This program is very expensive, but I know it will be worth it. I'm very excited to start this upcoming September!

    I was, though I've no idea how it works in the department. I'm wondering if positions in their labs are on a first come first serve basis, and if the department doesn't have any more spots I have to get another work study job on-campus. I'll have to look more into it. And it looks like we may be classmates next fall! :D 

    I haven't received work study in my financial aid package...yet lol. Apparently there was a minor discrepancy between my FAFSA and the UW Financial Aid office so my financial aid package was delayed (I finally got my financial aid award yesterday!). I talked to the financial aid office if I could still qualify for work study and they said most likely yes. I'm also not sure how work study works, so if I get offered it I won't know how to go from there. All of this is starting to get so real! 

    Just like @imunster said, all I got at the moment are loans :( . But honestly I was expecting that, especially from a school like UW Seattle lol. I'm STILL waiting on ASU to make my final decision. I hope we get to be classmates this upcoming fall! :)

    I don't, but my friend is also in the same boat waiting, if that makes you feel any better, haha. 

    Thanks for letting me know! This is making me very anxious lol.

    Someone in this forum got offered funding through a separate email. I haven't received anything yet unfortunately :( . Do you plan on attending? 

    Me either, I hope we get some funding, though! ANYTHING would help lol. I emailed Dr. Spencer about funding and she responded not too long ago. She said that the few scholarships they had have already been offered to students :( . However, she said that if a student declines, the money goes back into the pool for the next person on the list. This made me hopeful, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    I think whether or not I get funding I will probably still attend. The program is phenomenal (from what I hear) and I greatly prefer to work in a medical setting. I feel that I can't pass up this opportunity, despite the high cost of the program. I am still waiting on ASU to make my final decision, though. 

    Are you going to end up attending?

    @flaslp2be @imunster and anyone else waiting to hear about departmental recruitment scholarships from UW: I just got an email about funding! I was told the budget for recruitment scholarships was slashed by 60% so they're working on moving around less resources than they've had to in the past :( I got a small offer that they will try to increase in the next week or two. Apparently applicants for CoreSLP who are eligible for the WICHE program will, for now, be receiving smaller offers due to in-state tuition being already financial assistance in itself. If you're still waiting to hear back from UW about recruitment scholarships, definitely shoot an email their way! They're great at responding quickly and thoroughly. Good luck!

    Thanks for the update! It is very unfortunate that the awards were cut by 60% this year. I was told that they aren't able to offer me any funding at the moment, unless more money surfaces within the next few weeks. I really hope I get some funding!

    EDIT: I got accepted to the MedSLP program.
