I need one other person to make a group for U of Utah!
On the fence about where I’m going. Sent you a DM.

Hi! I am in great need of some insider information. Has anyone ever attended University of Washington’s MedSLP program and regretted it? Was it not what you expected? Do you feel like other programs would have prepared you equally for the medical setting? Are the classes as tough as you were expecting? In my mind’s eye all the courses are the equivalent of med school/Grey’s Anatomy. Is it tough to get a research position? Are you at school from 8am to 8pm? I’m trying to get a picture of what life would be there.
It was my dream to go there, but after visiting another school I feel confused. They are both the same price point so that’s not a factor. Washington is more prestigious and the curriculum makes me want to start today...but my other school has such a wonderful peaceful environment. Honestly it won’t be as hard so I would probably be able to still work part time and most likely have better overall balance. Do I pick a school that still has a great program but will be less difficult. I will probably be happier holistically not at Washington. Or do I go to the school of my dreams where it will be more academically demanding, expensive to live, competitive and probably lonely. I’m afraid to go and feel like I’m drowning for two years. I already spent four years in sacrifice mode working full time and going to school full time + research projects during undergrad.
I’ll regret not choosing either school, but I can’t figure out what I will regret more. If anyone has attended UW’s MedSLP program and has some words of wisdom/advice about surviving there I’ll take it! I have until Monday to decide. SOS!

Hello,
I just submitted mine a week ago, so don't worry
I didn't use FAFSA for undergrad either so I am a newbie too. I was wondering if someone could answer some of my questions.
1. Do we find out about loans/ aid via FAFSA's website or the school website?
2. If it's the school's website, I have been prompted via email telling me to log into my school's website using my username and password... but I don't have a school login because those don't get set up until you begin classes. How do you get info about your loans/aid then?
3. Are the schools going to let us know about financial aid before the standard April 15th deadline? I'm not sure how I can commit to a school when I don't know how much loans/ aid I am getting from them.
Thanks!
SOS I need the answers to these questions too!

All this waiting is driving me insane. I keep seeing so many people getting accepted to the same programs I applied to. I have yet to be accepted anywhere and and still waiting to hear back from programs even though others have gotten accepted. I’m starting to feel I’m going to be waitlisted and rejected everywhere. I’m not looking forward to going back to school and having professors and classmates ask where I’ve gotten in and telling them nowhere yet. Perhaps I’m jealous of those who have gotten into more than one program already but I’m so over waiting and not sure how I’m going to make it to April to find out if I’ve been accepted off any waitlists. It’s going to be so embarrassing if I don’t get in anywhere. Okay, rant over.
I made the decision to not talk about the admission process with anyone other than my family. My stance has always been I’m going to wait until I hear back from every school before I discuss it.
This is 1.) to protect myself/my ego/my self esteem. I hold myself to a high standard and I don’t want to share my “failures” at this point. 2.) Out of respect for my peers. I’ve watched people talk about getting into their dream school knowing that someone else in that same room did not. I think people should be sensitive to sharing their successes. I have never asked anyone from my cohort where they have or have not gotten in. That is none of my business.
This forum is less personal so I feel like it’s not quite the same. But in terms of people I actually know...I don’t want to talk about graduate school with them until I have heard back from every school and made a decision.

Hahaha, I'm glad it's helpful. I always scour the internet for every tiny bit of info I can find when I'm in uncertain situations, so I'm trying to be the random internet stranger I wish to see in the world! ;-) I think my other two cohort-mates are accepting, which makes 5 of us (all Core). Who knows what's going on outside my bubble, though!
Please send me your good vibes! I feel like you have solid University of Washington CoreSLP admission energy!!

April, I think, in both cases.
You are the best informant!! Have you heard about the other two individuals who were admitted but weren’t sure of their “intentions?” I think you mentioned they were CoreSLP students.

This is my first year applying for SLP grad programs. I have heard back from one school (rejected) and haven’t heard back from anyone else. I keep seeing in the thread of decisions for this year that people are getting accepted to programs I applied to. But I haven’t heard anything from the rest of my programs. So I’m assuming I’m waitlisted/rejected. I’m starting to lose hope. I applied to 5 programs and spent all my money during the process (GRE, transcripts,fees). I’m worried I’ll either get waitlisted and not get a spot or just get rejected everywhere. How do you handle seeing others get accepted to your programs when you haven’t heard anything. Just feeling discouraged and don’t want to disappoint anyone close to me if I don’t get into a program.
If it helps at all I feel the same way. I have spent the last four years of my life in sacrifice mode. I never went to concerts because I was studying. I only saw my friends during school breaks. I put my relationship second to academia....all for what? My first letter was a rejection to a school I didn’t even really want to go to...and I was devastated. This hearing back period takes a toll on your mind and body. I have no advice other than this is the time to fall in love with as many things as you can. You learn to paint. Go try a new language. Go hike with your buddies. Go be something other than a student.

Pretty sure one of the CoreSLP students got in off the waitlist last year. Also, I work in the same lab as a 2nd year MedSLP student who got in off the waitlist. It's possible! That said, both of the students I just referenced were postbacs at UW, so I wonder if they are higher up on the lists? I know of one student in my postbac cohort who is waitlisted, though I'm not sure for which program.
Do you have any idea when they found out they were admitted? I saw a girl on here who found out in early May that she was off the waitlist. I didn’t think I would even get in so it never occurred to me to be emotionally prepared for this waiting game. I’m trying to tell myself it’s better to just pretend I’ve been completely rejected...but then I don’t want to give up hope.

Didn't hear anyone from my cohort come from the waitlist last year.
Devastating news. Maybe they just didn’t want to share that?

How did you survive the rejection? I was accepted into my second choice and waitlisted to my first. I know it will all work out the way it is supposed to, but the hope of being admitted has given me the worst anxiety.

At least two of my classmates at UW were waitlisted. Best of luck to you!
Do you remember if they were MedSLP or CoreSLP students?

My sister was in the program at UW and said 2 students were accepted off of the waitlist. I know U of O accepted 2 students off of their waitlist last year.
Did she say if they were MedSLP or CoreSLP students who were accepted off the waitlist?

Does anyone know about University of Utah? I've seen acceptances and rejections on the results page, but I haven't heard anything yet.
I heard back via email. My friend applied for the joint MS/PhD program and she had to call the school to find out about her standing.

Brutal. Did she enjoy her time at Washington? I’m from CA and I only know one person who has ever been admitted via waitlist to any school...but it was her dream school and she did get in! So it does happen!

I'm actually not sure of exact numbers. I imagine it varies year to year, but 2-3 sounds about right? I could ask around!
Yes please! 2-3 sounds terrifying. I have so many friends who applied to difficult schools but never planned to actually attend due to finances. I just wish I knew what my chances were.

Will do! I will also say, I know for sure that they take people off the waitlist. There is hope!
Sorry to be annoying but I was wondering if you knew how many got in based on the waitlist. Someone posted several years ago that they only knew two people from their cohort that were admitted via the list.
-
I am on the waitlist and trying not to have a panic attack. Please keep the thread updated on the other two students you know!
-
Have you heard that there is a lot of mobility on the Washington waitlist? It’s hard for me to imagine anyone saying no, but surely it can’t be every single persons dream school. Right?

Has anyone heard from Columbia yet?

Hi!!
Does anyone know much about University of Washington’s waitlist for their SLP graduate program? I am on the waitlist for both the Core and Med program, but I have expressed a preference for the Core. How many people are on the waitlist? How many people are accepted from the waitlist? When do you people hear back that they are admitted from the list? Any updated insider information would be appreciated!!
Licensing State to State
in Speech-Language Pathology Forum

Hi!
Has anyone gone to school in one state and then moved to work in another? I know ASHA has a State by state licensing page that I’ve looked over. But I was curious if anyone has ever had to actually navigate those changes. My school said I would have no problem moving back home to work (California), but that ASHA page makes me think otherwise. Any thoughts?
