Heyy @tessabeloved I am from the area and would be happy to answer any questions! I have a degree from FMU so I am very familiar with the school. If you pm me your name I will make a group for us on Facebook! @nguyen16041 and I have been talking! If she doesn't want to make a facebook we could do a group chat on Whatapp or something? I would love to get to know more people in our cohort!

The email came around 2:30 EST

Hey guys. A poster on the results page asked for stats and the deadline from people accepted so I am just sharing that info! I had a 3.4 for my first degree and around a 3.9 for my second in COMD. I had 153V/145Q 4W on the GRE. I have some shadowing experience. I went to FMU for my first undergrad and I am in-state. We have to pay a $200 deposit by May 9th to hold our seat if we want it! We have to send in our proof of observation hours and personal health insurance. We also have to get CPR certification, a background check, and liability insurance. But I think all of that is just before the program begins.

@KE19I second this!! Most schools send emails in waves! I was very nervous in my interview too, and probably sounded super awkward but we have to remember that they picked to interview us because we are competitive applicants! I wish you and everyone here the best of luck!

@nguyen16041 Me too!! Good luck!

Me too!! Good Luck!! @nguyen16041

@nguyen16041Omg same!! They shouldn't do our nerves like that! haha

Hey guys! just received this email: Thank you for your interest in the Speech-Language Pathology Program at Francis Marion University. Please check your email for information regarding your application status. You should receive an application status notification by Thursday, May 2, 2019 no later than 5pm EST. Please be sure to check your spam folder.

@JordanBroz Good luck too! Did the people at FMU tell you that? I didn't think CSDCAS shows if we are accepted or not, but I'm not sure! The director told me I would receive a letter by May 10th, but I really think she meant an email. I don't know many schools that send out actual letters anymore.

@jordancannon30 Okay cool, thanks!

@jordancannon30 Yeah they must have. Heres hoping we are one of the 25! Did they say anything about a waitlist?

@jordancannon30 Wow! That does seem like a lot! I didn't think they would get too many applications. That makes me a bit more nervous. Thanks for the info!

Hey, thanks for the update! They told me they would let everyone know by May 10th. I hope it is this coming week though!

Their tuition is around 20,000 for out-of-state. I called a while back to ask about it! The two summer semesters are billed as one semester too, so that helps! I understand if you want to call and ask too, because it was Fall of 2018 when I asked, but I don't think they have changed it https://www.fmarion.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2018-19-Fall-Fee-Promulgation-Web-1.pdf

Right by FMU downtown campus (Carter Center - Where most SLP classes will likely be)? Or the main campus? I have heard nothing but terrible things about the apartments near the main campus (theft, never fix anything, etc.), but I've heard the ones by the Carter Center are really nice! Just wanted to give you a heads up! And thanks, I am trying not to stress

I thought the interview was laid back, but I found the questions a bit difficult! It is possible that we all got different questions, I'm not sure. The director told me they hope to let everyone know within two weeks, so that is exciting. I am in state and if I get accepted I will definitely accept! There aren't many schools for SLP in SC and because of family/work things I can't move. Good luck everyone! This whole process is stressful haha

Thanks everyone!! This makes me feel better. I have an interview at 11 on Monday. I will update with how it goes! Good luck!

I was hoping to find out some information too! I don't know if I should be more or less nervous because of the short interview time.
