I would highly avoid this program unless it's absolutely your last choice. There's literally no reason to go across the country for a program that has never graduated a class before if you can go *anywhere* else. When I talked to one of the faculty on the phone, it was almost as if they were reading off cue cards about what they were supposed to sell the program on, but just like any new program it's going to have a ton of issues. The inexperience, exorbitant cost (I mean duh, for profit), and region should be enough to scare anyone away from a brand new program like this. Let them take the scraps of applicants who didn't get into another program. For the sake of your future, you should aim to get into any school that has already demonstrated their competency rather than gambling on this school. I got accepted here and declined it the moment I got into another program. It's too much of a gamble to come to this school and honestly would be worth taking another year to bolster an application rather than going to RM (especially so if you're going to uproot your entire family to do so).

Hi there! I'm helping a friend apply to SLP programs and needed some assistance with a few questions plus a school list run-over. I'm not an expert in any regard, so all advice regarding schools especially is welcome. Firstly, my friend just finished their final semester of undergrad this Fall and submitted their transcripts to CSDCAS from the school. Can they still apply to schools with deadlines of 1/15/17 while the transcript is waiting to be processed, or do they need to cross these schools out? For the school list, let's start with stats: Cum GPA: 3.174 Last 60 GPA: 3.289 PreSLP GPA (online post-bac): 3.139 GRE: 154 VR / 152 QR / 4 AW (Does not have the option to retake at this point) They are aware that they are not a hyper-competitive applicant and we have been researching schools that have accepted lower GPAs along with having a high admission offer to applicant ratio. This is what we've come up with: Idaho State University Pacific University Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions University of Montana University of Wyoming Midwestern University Northern Arizona University Eastern New Mexico University University of Central Arkansas Thoughts on any of these schools plus others that could be added would be great. They'd like to stay on the west half of the US if possible, but if there's a school they should definitely apply to that doesn't meet that criteria, we're all ears. Thank you in advance for your help! Let me know if there's any more info we could provide for you.
