    It went very well! :) Yeah, I'm just hoping that they didn't make me take the class and then just deny me because they really pushed for me to take it through them instead of somewhere else and it was a lot of money I had to pay out of pocket. I still haven't heard back from the enrollment advisor, but I am going to try and call them this coming week about it. Good luck on your application, though as well!

    Thanks, you too! Let us know what happens when you give them a call.

    Sooo at UCF for our Bach in CSD our only hearing classes that we had were Audiology and Hearing Disorders Across the Lifespan and they wouldn't accept Hearing Disorders Across the Lifespan for Aural Rehab so they highly suggested that I take it with their campus this Spring and that my application will roll over for Fall semester. I emailed the enrollment advisor about it, but I haven't heard back yet. I might try calling tomorrow if I still haven't heard anything. 

    Oh I see. How'd that class go? I'm ready to hear about their decision but have hesitated to contact them since 5 weeks have gone by since my application was forwarded to the admissions committee.....I guess I'm going to just wait.....

    I had my interview February 28th.. it’s been 8 weeks since then and haven’t heard back. The admission counselor said my application is still under review.  Last year I applied and didn’t hear a decision from them until 11 weeks after my interview, which ended up being 3 weeks before the semester started. 

    So last year you had an interview and you were not accepted? Did they give you feedback as to why you were not admitted? Was your interview this year any different from last year?

    If I don't get into Souther Illinois University I think I might take some classes with you guys! I won't officially be in the program but I am allowed to take up to 9 credits of their grad classes. If you guys want we have this discord set up of undergrads and grads mostly to help with the distance learning students but it is a helpful tool all the same! here is the link to join - https://discord.gg/JjAUXPc

    Hello,

    I was thinking of doing this as well.....I am currently applying for their 2nd bachelors program bc I'm only like 8 credits short.

    Finishing up my required class that was needed that they couldn't take from my UCF classes. Took it online with USAHS, because they highly suggest doing so instead of taking it at a different university. Just emailed the academic advisor about it! Hoping my application really does move on to the Fall semester. I already went through the interview process back in October and really enjoyed everyone on the faculty and how the program was set up! Here's to hoping everything goes smoothly. Kind of worrisome to hear that spots are already being filled up though. I had no idea they were building another program at the Dallas campus! Is that not on EdFind yet on the ASHA website?  

    What class did they not accept from your other school? It sounds like if you had an interview they were already really interested in you! 

    I don't think the Dallas campus was an option initially. I figured because I am in TX they asked me to switch my preference. I'm curious if they offered it to everyone who applied......?

    I agree. SLPAs in CA don't even start at 40k so a CF shouldn't be anywhere near that.  I know a few CFs started off between 65-70k.

    I agree too. In TX and in the school setting, SLP assistants start out higher than 40k.

    Hang in there everyone!  Its a great program. They really look at everything and their biggest concern is whether or not you will be a great clinician - not just if you meet the stats that everyone usually focuses on. My cohort is filled with people from different backgrounds and the stats are all over the board. I heard that some people think the program is easier or accepts only those with lower stats. Not the case. Just to put it in perspective and not to scare anyone off. I had a solid 4.0, Verbal GRE 168, Writing score 4.5, Math, not so good - 143!!! (and we will never speak of that score again!! LOL)  Lots of experience with ABA. No research and only shadowed SLP.

    But, a member of my cohort had a 3.4, GRE score 293 (dont know the break down),  former military and has 3 years experience working as an SLPA.  We are all different and bring something different to the program. 

    Hope you all hear great news soon! And since the older cohorts mentor newer cohorts, I might get to know some of you a bit better and walk this journey with you!

    (p.s. Semester ends next Fri, so its finals week and I may not be around to answer any questions. But, good luck!!)

    Thanks!!! good luck on your finals. :)

    They told me it will be up to five weeks before they get back to me.  It has only been about two weeks for me. I have not had an interview yet. Have you?

    So the 16th was officially 4 weeks since the enrollment advisor told me they submitted my application.  I was also told 3-5 weeks to hear back. I have not heard anything yet. I'm totally hoping for a chance to interview!!!!!!

    Has anyone heard anything about the Dallas campus acceptance/interview dates? 

    No. But when I last spoke to an admissions advisor she said to give them 3-5 weeks which will be 4 weeks for me this coming Tuesday. I'm trying not to think about it too much because it's been pretty stressful. I'm ready for the next step.   Did you apply directly for the Dallas campus or did they ask you to switch from Austin to Dallas?

  10. My 2 cents....I was under the impression that a lot of schools want them through a school program. I've never heard of master clinician but sounds pretty cool if it's approved. That being said.....the college that I did my pre reqs at didn't offer a class to do observation hours. So when I went to apply to get my SLP assistance license I had to get a form signed by the department head saying they don't offer it so that I could acquire them through a clinic. Then when I tried applying to ENMU, for example, they require the observation hours be done through a class. So to be able to apply to that program and a few others I went ahead and took an online course to get my hours.  It wasn't difficult just time consuming. Hope this helps. I was out of field too when I first started looking at speech but I'm so glad I did. I love it! :)

    Thanks for sharing this!! I checked that out, I was hoping to find out if their interviews had a lot of clinical based questions. I finished my undergrad in December so I'm nervous I'm going to forget the basics, but I'll just go in and hope for they best!! But I submitted around the end of December, I dont remember the exact date. I got anxious so emailed admissions and she also said expect to hear back in 3-5 weeks. But then last week on the 20th I got the email for an interview. It was all very last minute considering my interview is tomorrow (the 29th), so you could really hear back any day now. Good luck!! 

    You"ll do great! Are you interviewing in person or over skype? Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!!

    Hey everybody!! I just received an invitation for an interview at the Austin, Texas campus for 3/29. Since it's a fairly new program I haven't been able to find too much information regarding how they conduct the interviews so any tips/advice on how it goes would be awesome! Also for anybody that goes there currently what would you say are some pros/cons of the program? Thanks in advance!  

    Check out this post and thread! :) Hopefully it helps. I'm hoping to hear back from USA also. Can I ask when you submitted your application? I recently received a call from an application advisor and she said it should take 3-5 weeks for them to get back to me. Fingers crossed!!!!!

    Sorry for the double post but I just wanted to let you guys know that I spoke with an application advisor recently and she stated that the cohort is pretty close to being filled already. I dont understand why they started filling it when the application isn't due until April 1st but I guess they have. Their aim was for 30 students this time. 

    I was also recently contacted by an application advisor and she asked if I wanted to postpone my application bc my GRE  scores were right under their recommended combined score of 290 (187). Also, if I would consider putting their new campus Dallas as my top choice. She said they have a lot of slots still. I asked if it helped my chances of getting accepted and she said no but I thought it couldn't hurt and agreed. She said to give them 3-5 weeks for a decision. Fingers crossed!!!!!

    That's what I have heard too. Hoping that is not the case.  Did you recieve anything from them stating that they recieved your application? I have yet to recieve any emails from them.

    You can still submit an application but they have done some interviews already. With that, I'm not sure if our odds are as strong. There is a link to the supplemental application in the program materials section on CSDCAS.

    I havn't received anything from them. The supplemental link was so simple I thought I was missing something but other applicants have assured me that  it was the same for them as well.
