[Calling All SLP's!]

I just got into Gallaudet today. Does anyone know anything about Gallaudet SLP? I am tri-lingual and want to do research in deaf studies and american sign language, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything else.

I've heard amazing, AMAZING things about Gallaudet. A friend of mine is going there for grad school (in another area) and has been coaching women's basketball. She's now fluent in ASL after going in knowing nothing, and if you really want to focus on deaf culture, ASL, etc. but still do the speech component, I would say that program is one of your best bets. Congrats! I would take that school in a heartbeat if I had applied and been accepted

Did anyone else almost experience a heart attack from that TC e-mail about the committee experiencing a delay in notification of decisions? I seriously thought it was a rejection e-mail from the first few lines of reading it!

um, YES. I usually don't freak out easily, and I almost fell out of my chair when I got it because I was certain it was a tacky random rejection rather than a "check your application" email when I first started reading...goodness!! Glad to know I wasn't alone! haha

Hey I was wondering if we may be able to post stats and then acceptances/rejections so the rest of us can know our odds too?

I'm in my senior year at a top tier school (not an Ivy) -3.53 GPA in last 2 years. 3.8 overall. (I transferred schools and did poorly my first year as a transfer)

-Ling/Psych major who specialized in Neuroscience..non SLP may hurt my chances

-no published materials but have been working as an RA for about a year.

-I'm a live-in employee for students with developmental disabilites (I also happen to specialize in language issues of the developmentally disabled)

-paltry..beyond abismal GRE score

-have been teaching and substitute teaching in Special Education classrooms for about 3 years now

applied to:

NYU

TC Columbia

San Diego State University

Gallaudet

UT Austin

Got an interview with NYU but cannot go, so we're currently trying to schedule a phone interview. Have heard nothing from anyone else. It's beyond stressful.

good luck all!

You most likely have a fantastic chance with your background for the SDSU program. Can't speak for the rest of them, but based on many people I know that have gone through SDSU, you seem like an ideal candidate.

Also, believe it or not, I've been told by many admissions counselors, professors, etc. that individuals that do NOT have a heavy SLP background are appealing to graduate study programs. Best of luck!
