    I did mine at USU and got into my top program. I promise you as long as the classes you got were from an accredited program, they DO NOT care. They can't.

    Also figured I'd make a thread because why not?

    You can PM me if you want to talk pros and cons of the program!

    Don't be fooled, WSU's are all planned even if they're in a cup haha. From my understanding, they both have a list of questions that vary by applicant.

    If you go to the tuition calculator on WSU's website and put in grad school and Spokane, the number it gives you is incredibly accurate.

    You can live completely off of what the FAFSA gives you. Your school has a summary cost of what it costs to live during school. That will basically be what your federal loans come out to being. You don't specifically request an amount or anything. They start off with some loan (I can't remember the name) and then once the limit is reached on that, you give you the rest in Grad PLUS loans which is the higher interest rate one. If you decide this isn't enough, you can of course go to private loans. Most people in my grad cohort, I'm almost positive are not doing this. I know I was terrified that cost was going to limit me, and granted, I still leave school with a bunch of debt.

    Contact your dream school and find out what their internship process is like. If a lot of their students return home for their internship, it wouldn't be difficult to find an internship there if you still stayed at your in-state school. Can you do an internship in that city if you stay at your in-state school? My school actually prefers we return home for our internship or look elsewhere than where we go to school because our city can't take all of our grad students. Job sites honestly won't care as long as you went to an accredited program. Your program will be what you make of it, advocate for yourself no matter where you go! What is your area of interest?

    I have class Monday/Wednesday and then clinic Tuesday/Thursday. We have one class on Friday. You can technically have clinic assignments any day of the week around classes, but they'll usually be on your dedicated clinic days/maybe Friday. My whole campus basically has 12-1 off for lunch so there is that dedicated hour but most people still work during it. If you aren't in class or doing therapy, you're in the preproom working on clinic stuff or studying or in a meeting with a clinic supervisor. Every day is going to be slightly different during the week.

    Haha, I just responded to you and then saw this.

    I know, I go to WSU as a grad student, I was just curious.
  12. MarSLP2019
    Who at WSU interviewed you guys?

    So in terms of graduate assistantships, you apply during your first semester and then start the second semester, there is only a handful though. My research job was separate from this, basically a professor emailed out to our cohort and invited us to come tour and they had applications we could take at the end. In general, WSU Spokane is an all healthcare campus and I know of other students involved in other research labs, I also know of a few students who have jobs on campus however most went here for undergraduate as well. Yes, it's separate from the requirement. Our quote on quote capstone is a research project or case study.

    I like your username btw:) We're the exact same program. You ask any of the professors, they only care about it when entering grades. I work in a lab and how I was hired versus how the EWU person was hired was slightly different but that's because I was "hired" by WSU. There are roughly 50 of us, 25 from each school. You have a client or two first semester in the on-campus clinic. Spring semester and summer about a third (not that many this semester) go off for off-campus practicum. In the fall, we all go out. The internship is in the spring. If you don't go out in the spring semester, you get more clinic assignments on-campus.

    I work 10 hours a week, you can PM to see how much I make, but it covers some living expenses. Like my rent and maybe groceries. I also get a partial tuition waiver. I still live mostly off loans.

    My contract says I work 10 hours a week. I get a partial tuition waiver and a stipend that comes every two weeks. It's completely worth it to me. I work in a research lab. I'm technically salaried and really only work when I'm needed/have a project going on. Whenever I have downtime in the lab, I do homework or study. My friends who are TA's are probably busier than me at the moment because they have so much grading to do. It can be hard to balance, but it's all about managing your time. It's doable if you are flexible!
