    I think 2 hours would be too long if you were driving, but luckily with those 2 hours you can just look at it as study time and do your readings/assignments.
  2. WesttoEast18
    Yes you can. Just keep in mind some schools require certain pre-reqs be completed before the program starts.

    I know the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire offers Audiology online. Not sure how cheap it will be but you can do it over the summer.

    I think there's hope but I would definitely recommend jumping in this summer and start retaking some of your classes. I had less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA and did a post bacc program and got close to a 4.0. I think as long as these programs see that you're making an effort to improve yourself (and your application) they will give you a shot.

    I was accepted for the fall 2018 and have to take two pre-reqs. Every grad program has different pre-reqs so not every undergrad (or post-bacc program) will offer them all. One of my pre-reqs is education based since I don't have those classes in my background. The good thing about this program is you can take the pre-reqs with the grad classes (so you don't have to rush to finish them before you start).

    Hmm, I wouldn't qualify those scores as average to be honest, especially your quantitative score. If you look on the GRE website it will tell you how your scares compare to other test takers. I would really invest in trying to improve your GRE scores. I had to take my GRE twice and it was a nightmare, but definitely worth it I think. Good luck!
  7. WesttoEast18
    What are your scores exactly? Considering your GPA is on the lower end of acceptable (in the eyes of grad school), you may benefit from trying to improve your scores. As for schools, I don't know exactly but if you look on the ASHA website, each school will have stats on the students they accept.

    I was working at the time and personally paid out of pocket for my classes. The post bacc classes aren't nearly as much as grad school so it's more doable. I would recommend trying to pay out of pocket if you can, especially since you'll have to take loans for grad school.
  9. WesttoEast18
    I had a low undergrad GPA (outside of major) and a high post-bacc GPA and average GRE scores. Because of this, I increased the number of applications I submitted. Looking back I regret applying to so many schools because I received acceptances to a few and many waitlists. I would recommend applying to your choices but also researching the ASHA site and make sure that they accept within your GPA range. It wouldn't hurt to add one or two "back up schools" to your list as well.
  10. WesttoEast18
    Yes this is okay. As long as the pre-reqs are taken it doesn't matter where you take them (as long as it's an ASHA accredited school). I've taken pre-reqs at a few different schools and it was fine.

    Congrats!!!

    Have you thought of volunteering in the field? I volunteer at an aphasia center and feel like that greatly helped my applications. When you reach out to speech therapy practices, it may be beneficial if you word it as you're looking for a "volunteer" experience versus internship. I feel like places are more receptive to that since internships are usually school based and have paperwork that come with them.

    Congrats on getting accepted! I remember your other post (before you heard back) and I was hoping it would end up working out for you. Just do the best that you can, you already made it this far, which is half the battle! Go to your classes, pay attention, take good notes, and study as much as possible. If you're unclear about something reach out to your professor or peers for help. I think as long as you try your best you will do fine! People say the hardest part of grad school is getting in and you're already done with that part.
  14. WesttoEast18
    I don't think you have anything to worry about, I have never heard of this happening. The only way that I would be concerned is if it was one of their pre-req classes and you received a grade below a B.
  15. WesttoEast18
    I took fluency online at UWEC and really enjoyed the class and the professor! I highly recommend taking it there.
  16. WesttoEast18
    You don't necessarily have to say your on 5 waitlists. Just say that due to financial/time constraints, and the fact that you're still on the waitlist, will they allow you to wait to take the pre-req until your accepted or take it simultaneously with the program.
  17. WesttoEast18
    I took conceptual physics online (through orange coast community college) and did not find it challenging at all. The thought of chemistry scared me lol. It was more principles and theories than actual physics. Just something to look into!
  18. WesttoEast18
    That's rough! Could you take any of the pre-req's while in the program (after you're already accepted)? Many programs will allow you to do this and this will allow you to at least narrow down the classes you HAVE to take beforehand. If I was in your position I would reach out to each school and see what they recommend you do. They might at least tell you what your position is on the waitlist at this point or make an exception and allow you to take the pre-req with your grad courses if accepted.

    I don't know much about either school but under the admission results for LIU Post I did read that some students were complaining about the program, specifically about a professor there. Again, I'm unfamiliar with the school but that's just what I read.
  20. WesttoEast18
    I completed my post-bacc online through the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire (Which I loved). I did not have a problem with the fact that my classes were online at all while going through the grad school process. In fact, none of the schools even mentioned it.
  21. WesttoEast18
    I think that means you're probably waitlisted. I feel like some schools just don't notify applicants that they're waitlisted and then send out rejections when they're positive that they're class is (permanently) filled.
  22. WesttoEast18
    I would be confused by that response as well. Is there anyone else you can email? I would clarify and say that you haven't received anything and would like to know your status. If I had to guess though that doesn't seem like a positive response. :/
  23. WesttoEast18
    I think this varies by school. I live in NY and most of the schools I interviewed at in a different state said that they will work with you to obtain the proper license requirements. It's my understanding that it's more difficult if you're planning on working in a school. However, I was under the impression that NJ and NY have reciprocity agreements for situations like this?
  24. WesttoEast18
    If they had a decline button I used that. If they didn't I sent an emailing declining the offer ( for both acceptances and waitlists)!
  25. WesttoEast18
    I heard from Seton Hall about 1.5 weeks ago that I was accepted. However, I emailed them today to let them know I've committed to another program. I hope that helps someone out!
