I am not attending this grad program but created a FB group for the school I will be attending. All you need is one person to create a FB group (you can just add a close friend or sibling and once you create the group, just remove them).
oh really? huh. i must've done something wrong when I tried. I will try again! thanks!

I've recently gotten an offer from this program about a week ago and have accepted. I'm from far out of state so I'm also pretty unfamiliar with this university aside from when I visited for interviews. Do you know if there's a Facebook page up?
There is not a Facebook group yet. I would love to start one but I need at least 3 members before I can start it. If you and I can find one more person, then I would be happy to make one! Where are you from?

Hi everyone!
I just got my first acceptance to GVSU. I wanted to chat with anyone else who was accepted, already in the program, or applied! I'm so excited about this program. I don't know anyone else in the program or really anyone in Grand Rapids. If you're planning on attending Grand Valley or you are already there, feel free to message me! I'd love to talk to some people and hear a little bit about GVSU.
Accepted: Grand Valley State University, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
Rejected: Duquesne University, Calvin College, Bowling Green State University, Michigan State, Wayne State
Invited to Interview: Andrews University, University of Toledo, Midwestern University
Waitlisted: Central Michigan, University of Wisconsin, St. Mary's, Western Michigan, Indiana State
Decision: Grand Valley State University SLP Class of 2019!

I know GVSU is the fastest. It is 4 semesters straight instead of 5 at WMU and WSU. GVSU is a little cheaper than Western and Wayne, but keep in mind that your bill per semester will be higher because there are fewer semesters. But overall, GVSU is the cheapest of the 3. As for location: GVSU is in downtown Grand Rapids, Western is in Kalamazoo, and WSU is in the heart of Detroit.

haven't head anything from: Wayne state, Rocky Mountain, Tennessee state (online), nova southeastern, grand valley state
waitlisted at: university of Toledo
"unofficial waitlist" at: western michigan
- Anyone know any details about the schools that I haven't heard back from at all? (especially Wayne state?) Thanks!
I know Grand Valley did interviews in February and already sent out acceptances. I'm not sure if they do waves or not though

I got accepted to my second choice school, Grand Valley, but I haven't accepted their offer yet because I'm still waiting to hear from my first choice, Michigan State. Is anyone else considering these two schools and/or heard from them?

I just called Michigan State and asked when applicants would hear for a decision and they said to look out for an email on March 15th!! Oh my goodness I think I am about to pass out, it sooo damn close!
OH MY that is so SOON. That's so nerve wracking. Thanks for letting me know, good luck to you!

Has anyone heard back from Wayne State, Michigan State or Western Michigan yet? If not, do you know when we are projected to hear back?
Thanks!
I applied to all three of those schools and haven't heard anything yet. I'm currently finishing up my undergrad at MSU, and most of my CSD professors are on the admissions board. They told us not to expect anything from them until the end of March or beginning of April.

Hi everyone!
I just got my first acceptance to GVSU. I wanted to chat with anyone else who was accepted, already in the program, or applied! I'm so excited about this program, it is one of my top choices. Waiting to hear from all of the other schools I applied to before I accept the offer.
Other question: Should I email them back to thank them and tell them I'm strongly considering it, but want to wait to accept until I hear from other schools?

Rejected: Duquesne University, Calvin College, Bowling Green State University
Invited to Interview: Andrews University, University of Toledo, Midwestern University
Applied: Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University, Central Michigan University, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Indiana State University, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, St. Mary's College, Wayne State University, Western Michigan University

How are people feeling post-interview? I've had two so far, so I feel lucky, but I don't feel that either of them went well... at all. I feel like if anything I hurt my chances. It'll feel so rough if I come so close only to sabotage myself interview-wise...
That sounds like a bad case of nerves. I often feel that way after job interviews, school interviews, etc., only to find out that I nailed the interview and was selected. Interviews always feel awkward, and that can often make you feel as though you didn't do well. However, try to think about it logically rather than emotionally. I'm sure you did just fine. It's a big deal to even land the interview! Keep your head up and be proud of what you've accomplished

Technically speaking, they have zero legal right to discriminate against you based on your family plans! They aren't even allowed to ask about your marital status, family structure, or family plans in an interview. However, It is up to you to decide if you wish to disclose that information. It may be beneficial to tell the program, because they may be able to help point you in the direction of on-campus resources that could help you out (daycares, etc).
-
Casual is fine, sweaters/cardigans and dark jeans work perfect. I'd also suggest wearing comfortable shoes, one of my open houses had a walking tour and my feet were killing me even in small heels!
-
I would hope they all get back to us. We pay so much for the application fees, both CSDCAS and the supplementals, not to mention sending GRE scores and transcripts and all those fees! We deserve a response, whether it's positive or negative. I will be very angry if any schools don't send a letter/email or anything. It's just not right.

It's definitely doable, albeit not my first choice. My advice would be to make sure (absolutely sure) your car is super reliable, especially if you're going to school in a location where it snows. As for the social aspect, if you put in a little extra effort, I'm sure you could remain close with your cohort. Try to meet up with them on weekends to hang out or study together, or maybe hang around campus after you're done for the day. Commutes get easier with time because you get so used to them. Sooner or later you'll be so used to the drive you could do it with your eyes closed! Best of luck

From what I've heard, it's probably a better idea for female interviewees to wear pants rather than skirts. Sensible shoes as well. I've heard from other applicants that some schools want to observe how you interact with kids, so sometimes you're on the floor working with youngsters in the on-campus clinics. I think pants would work better for this! Also, some interviews can be hours long and include walking tours. I would suggest comfortable shoes that you feel good walking in. Good luck on your interviews!

I am so excited for that aspect of grad school. I think it'll be great to have the opportunity to gain experience with adults, kids, geriatrics, people with disabilities, and more! I've always loved working with kids, I've been a summer camp counselor for years for children with disabilities and I absolutely love it. As of right now, I'm thinking school-based SLP. That being said, I can't wait to explore my other interests in grad school and see what other populations excite me. Sga71494, what demographics are you thinking you'd like to work with?

Which programs are you applying to? Florida State University, University of South Florida, Emerson College, Georgia State, Midwestern University Downers Grove
Where are you from? Tampa
What are your biggest concerns about applications? My biggest concern is my average GRE scores. I hope programs look at my application as a whole rather than just zeroing in on my scores because my resume, personal statement and letters of recommendation are pretty strong.
GRE: 153 V 149 Q 4 A.W
GPA: 3.99
Updates from schools so far:
Interviews: Emerson College, Midwestern University
Accepted so far only to Midwestern University
I got invited to interview at Midwestern too! What was the interview like? Did you like the campus? What are its pros and cons? I'm struggling so hard to decide between schools.

Hi future SLP's!
Has anyone had any interviews yet? I've been invited to interview at a few schools and I'm beginning to get nervous about them. Does anyone have any advice going into the interview process? Some of my specific concerns are the dress code (what should we wear, specifically females?), the questions (what do you say if you don't know how to answer a question?), and overall making a good first impression.
Any advice would be super helpful! Good luck to everyone who is interviewing!
GPA: 3.73
GRE: 156 V, 155 quant, 4.5 AW
Major: Communications | Minor: Communicative Sciences and Disorders
Applying to: MSU, EMU, CMU, GVSU, WSU, WMU, BGSU, U of Toledo, St. Mary's, ISU, MU-Downer's Grove, Duquesne, Edinboro, Andrew's University, Calvin College, UW-Whitewater
Interviews: Grand Valley State University, University of Toledo, Midwestern University (Downer's Grove)
Looking to talk to others in my program!

Thank you! It was a tough choice to make. I was really interested in their program and I was torn. I live in Michigan though, so GVSU was closer to home.
