    Audyou got a reaction from audca in What led you to audiology?   
    I'm a bit of a non-traditional student who returned to school after 5 years. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated high school. I got married and moved to where I now live in search of a 9-5 job. I got hired as an admin at a speech and hearing clinic. I knew nothing about speech and didn't know audiology even existed surprisingly. I saw what the Audiologists did and fell in love with it. I went back to school and am finishing my bachelors in Communication sciences and Disorders this May! It's been a long road for me but even though it took forever to find I out what I loved, I wouldn't change a thing in this crazy journey.

    I also applied to West Virginia and am so nervous!
     Am I the only one who obsessed, went through last years acceptance/rejection results and made a calendar of around what time we should be hearing back from the schools? My first choice did theirs 2 weeks from today last year so I'm getting SO NERVOUS.

    I literally had my dad hand me my phone while I was still coming off a major anesthesia high in my hospital bed after getting my tonsils cut out so I could check my email.

    An AUD (doctorate) is required to become an Audiologist in the United States so I don't believe you will have any luck finding Masters programs here. It's a bit confusing, but the undergraduate degree here is called "Communication Sciences and Disorders" which means us aspiring AUDs have to take the same classes as a speech language path student. I believe these majors were combined at the undergrad level since SLPs and AUDs work closely with each other in speech and hearing clinics. They are very different from each other of course. In the doctorate program in graduate school, you will not be taking speech classes. You will be focusing on AUD courses to prepare you for the field. We are however required at most schools to have about 10 hours of slp clinicals and I think SLP's have to do the same. But that's pretty short. Hope this helps!

    It's so weird. We're so stressed about getting into grad school, which is valid. But our stress is gonna go up even more once we start. Like I feel like getting in is the end of a long race, but I guess it's the beginning of an even longer one (if I get in hopefully!).

    Hey there @KGross12!
    Same! I am getting so nervous and every time I get an email alert my heart stops for a second. I applied to University at Buffalo, CUNY Graduate Center, West Virginia , Western Washington, University of Washington (Seattle) and Nova Southeastern as well! Nova by far makes me more nervous than the rest since they do a rolling admission and we could get that wonderful interview email invite any day now. What is your top choice? Wishing you the best of luck!

    Thank you so much for making this post! I was about to basically put that they were my top choice in my essay!

    Just focus on making it clear that you are the best fit for their program. Show that you've done your research on them and can contribute to the department outside of the reqs to get your degree. You don't need to tell them they're your number 1 choice, but you can make it clear that you're very interested in them by showing (not telling) that you've done the legwork.

    Focus on why you're best for them and what specific about that school is best for you. I'd avoid saying it's your top pick because it adds no reason why to accept you. They have more than enough candidates

    You're completely right! They probably get 200 applications who all of course say "Youre my top choice", so simply stating "You're my #1" falls short on *why* just exactly they are. I would say towards the end of your app to answer exactly that: WHY they stood out enough for you to apply. I usually list at least 3 serious & in-depth things about the program that I believe fits my interests, work experiences and/or education and explain the connection so they can read just WHY they are important to me (by serious and in-depth, I mean not that you 'love Miami' but instead maybe the location has a diverse population which would equate to a diverse data set if you're applying to a research program w/interests in culture. Something serious and applicable) . This already tells them that your viewing them highly and professionally w/o sounding typical. Also, of course don't forget to also demonstrate how well you believe you would fit into the program, as well as your interests! Good luck!!!
