    Hello all! I recently applied to Emerson College's online distance learning program. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this program and what their thoughts, opinions, etc.? Also, if anyone has applied, do you remember how long it took for the program to get back to you with a decision? (Just wondering). Thank you so much in advance!:)

    I am also on the "unofficial" waitlist at Western and haven't heard back anything either! ugh....this is literally killing me:(

    I am considering attending Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions in Provo, Utah, which is a for-profit university for their medical masters SLP program. Any opinions on this program (I know it a new program)? Any opinions on attending a for profit university? thank you ahead of time!:)

    OP: forgot to add he also said that at this time the cohort is no way full at this point (which is hopeful):)

    OP: just called Dr. Tasko at Western and he said that he sent out an email to people that are on the original 1st waitlist last night and gave them 48 hours/2 business days to respond whether they still want to be in the program or not. If they do not respond, he will take that as they have gone with another program. After that, he will start to work down the 2nd tier/unofficial waitlist people pretty soon. So I guess within the next week or so we will be hearing something hopefully. He was pretty nice when I called and said that he likes to get this part done pretty quickly as he knows people (like us!) are rabidly waiting and doesn't want us to wait longer than we have to. So...in short, as soon as a couple days from now (ie end o the week) we might hear something, but who the hell knows at the same time lol....

    hey guys! wondering if you guys could give your take on this: I applied to Tennessee State's online program for speech and haven't heard anything yet. I emailed Dr. Terrie Gibson, who is in charge of admissions and asked when applicants would be notified of admission one way or another. Today she emailed me back in response and I am a bit confused as to what this means. She said "Applicants have been notified. Thank you for your interest in our program." So does this mean that I have been rejected? I emailed her back and asked to clarify what this email meant. I still haven't gotten any email or anything regarding my status:( Thanks and let me know what you guys think!:)

  12. sarahh46
    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!
  13. sarahh46
    So if I have not heard back from Wayne State by now that means that I have been rejected?
  14. sarahh46
    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!
  15. sarahh46
    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!

    Thanks! absolutely! I have been terrified this entire process but I didn't want my fears controlling my decisions. I dont know for sure what made those two programs look past my low GPA but I did visit Gallaudet's program last week in person and spoke with the graduate program director. She stated that Gallaudet has a 14 point comprehensive application process and GPA is just one factor. There are other things such as: diversity (international applicant, study abroad experience), work experience, foreign language (other than ASL), ASL experience, good personal statement, good LOR, that are all part of the point process. I also spoke about the context behind why my GPA was so horrible during my academic time in my personal statement (about half of it) and made it a point when I met with her to be very frank and honest about it. She did say that initially with GPA I was going to be rejected but after they looked at my GRE scores (which combined are over 50th %tile), that had me be in the running. She also said me coming to visit in person at the department was another point in the system which helped in my waitlist rankings:). I can only speak for Gallaudet as that was the only program that was that frank and open about the process for me, but I say go for it! If anything, people that have dealt with struggles only shows just how resilient we are:)

    Hi! Yeah I will be going since I will be in Michigan for spring break:) pretty exciting!!

    Hi everyone! I am a first time applicant and in field undergrad major at the University of Washington - Seattle. Which programs are you applying to? Eastern Michigan University, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Wayne State University, University of Toledo, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Utah, Gallaudet University Where are you from? I am from Southern California, specifically Orange County, CA. Home of Disneyland! What are your biggest concerns about applications? That my very poor GPA will be the main determining factor that grad school committees do not look further into my application. Ultimately, my fear is that I do not get into any graduate schools at all and have to go through this incredibly stressful and expensive process all over again. STATS: GPA = 2.66, GRE Quant: 148, Verbal: 150, Writing: 5 Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan, Wayne State, University of Toledo, UT Dallas, University of Utah, Gallaudet ACCEPTED, WAITLISTED, REJECTED, NOT HEARD BACK YET

    I am applying to Western Michigan also! Do you plan on going to the open house on campus or no? Just wondering and good luck!
  20. sarahh46
    ^^ can definitely relate to low GPA (2.66) as I have my own struggles with mental health but tried to counteract that with above 50th %tile GRE scores. I also applied to Western Michigan University so also let me know if you hear from them! Good luck!!
