    Awesome, thanks so much! I'm definitely going to call and ask about stats for medical placements after graduation

    Thank you for your helpful response! I'm an out-of-field applicant, so it can be tough to find support/information. I am leaning towards outpatient or inpatient, but that may change once I begin coursework. I plan on taking as much medical coursework and getting as many medical placements as I can, but I know I'm limited by the structure of the program so that worries me. Would this be enough to be considered for a CFY in a hospital?

    I am beyond grateful, I don't know why you would assume that I'm not. I wouldn't go to Vanderbilt unless I could get my scholarship money up. Rent and overall cost of living are astronomical in Boston and Vanderbilt is a cheaper program, so if I could negotiate a higher scholarship the costs would end up being similar. I'm trying to figure out which program is better for my career goals so I can decide if negotiating a scholarship is even worth the effort. I'm just trying to thoroughly explore my options so that I can make the best overall decision for my future–professionally and financially.

    Hi all! I'm currently deciding between these two schools and was wondering if anyone had any insight into which program would be better for someone wanting to go into medical speech pathology (unfortunately, I can't attend the accepted student days). Additionally, I was fortunate enough to receive a full scholarship to MGH, but I only received a 25% scholarship to Vanderbilt. Based on which program would be better for my goals, I may try to see if I can negotiate more money from Vanderbilt. Does anyone have experience in this area? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd bump it back up because I have the same question. Did anyone have luck trying to negotiate scholarships? Is this something that you should do via email or on the phone? Would it be frowned upon to bring up another scholarship offer? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you so much! That's super helpful

    A "Status Update" was added to my portal. It looks like decisions are still going out in waves (some people even got theirs Thursday), so I wouldn't worry if you don't have that section yet. Best of luck!

    I didn't get an email but just checked the portal and I was accepted!! Best of luck!

    I noticed that! I hope this means we'll hear today, although I would have expected to hear first thing in the morning if decisions were done. Did you hear anything?

    My expected contribution to graduate school (as calculated by FAFSA) was $0. Even so, the maximum I could get per year in federal loans was $20,500 towards tuition (and that is the max for everyone). Other than that, you'd have to get private loans and Graduate PLUS loans to cover the rest of the expenses, so you'd want to do some googling around about interest rates. Good luck!

    My guess would be next week based on the results thread for past years...I would looove to know by tomorrow though! Haha
  22. wherethelightis
    Will do!

    She didn't say on the phone and I didn't ask because I don't think I'll be able to make the trip I'd give admissions a call!

    I received a phone call and they said there is one on April 7th!
