I still have not received an email from Diana explaining the details of the funding. I fell in love with the school and faculty but the cost is what worries me. Im definitely considering attending this school but I haven't heard back yet from the other universities I applied to yet >.<

I just received an invitation to RSVP for the CSUF open house next week. I wondering if anyone who is familiar with CSUF and their graduate admissions process knows if this invite to attend the the open house is a good sign I might be accepted or considered? I am trying not to think about it too much, but this is my top choice and all I can think about now.

Got an interview with Chapman today yaaaay to being hopeful!

I received a call yesterday too! I did not have my phone on me but I saw a had a missed call from Oregon so I called back and I was told the amazing news! They are offering me a scholarship too, it definitely does not feel real. After being rejected from 2 other schools and waiting on 5, I am SO happy

I am still hopeful too about Chapman Have not heard back yet though :/

Yeah my friend went to the interview and said about 90% of applicants were out of state. It is usually the other way around with the majority being students from CSULB. I wish you the best of luck!!!

One of the professors told the students that all of the interviews were sent

I called Chapman yesterday and they said they are still reviewing 75-80 applicants. They take applications that start with the beginning of the alphabet and look at the ones at the end of the alphabet. My last name is in the middle so they haven’t looked at it yet (kinda weird I know). Also if you haven’t heard from CSULB it’s not good news they already chose all the people they are giving interviews to.

Which programs are you applying to? California State University-Long Beach, California State University-Fullerton, California State University-Los Angeles, California State University-East Bay, California State University-Fresno, Chapman University, University of Redlands, and Pacific University (Oregon). Where are you from? Los Angeles What are your biggest concerns about applications? I have a lot of experience. I am an early intervention assistant for a non-profit therapy clinic. As a member of an interdisciplinary team, I assist SLPs, OTs, PTs, and teachers during group therapy with toddlers with global developmental delays. I have also completed my 100 hours of practicum as a SLPA intern at CSULB's child language clinic, culturally and linguistically diverse clinic, and stroke survivor support center with Spanish speakers. I have interpreted during assessments, progress reports, and interviews for Spanish speaking families. I have also volunteered at two private practices and shadowed SLPAs for the past two years meanwhile being active in NSSHLA. I have also worked for a school district where I independently created workshops to assisted and mentored high school seniors from low-income families apply for college and financial aid. I have also served as a proctor for Aural Rehabilitation of the Hearing Impaired and received an A in the Spanish Language and Culture in Speech-Language Pathology course at CSULB. I am also the first person in my family to attend university and I am from a low-socioeconomic background (born and raised in South Central Los Angeles), which have influenced me to want to work as a SLP in an underserved community. HOWEVER.... MY GRE SCORES ARE LOW. I took the GRE two times and the first time I got 146 V. 137 Q. and 3.5 AW. The second time I got a 148 V. 134 Q. and 3.0 AW. I am afraid some schools won't even consider me because of my scores. I hear all the time about how competitive it is to get into grad school. I really want to stay in Los Angeles or Orange County but only time will tell, I am trying to stay optimistic I am also worried about cost, since 3 of the schools I am applying to are private. COMD GPA: 3.85
