  1. Hi! I had the same GPA as you and my scores were only a couple points higher (155 on verbal, 154 on math and 5.5 on writing), along with good letters of rec and a year of work experience and I got into NYU and BU if that helps! I really don't think your scores will hurt you, they're actually pretty good! It also sounds like you have a lot going for you in terms of your whole application so I think you'll be just fine! Most schools have a holistic approach so I doubt they wouldn't look at you just because of your GRE (which isnt bad at all)! Good luck, hope this helped to ease your mind a little bit!

    Hi!

    Did you e-mail any of your wait listed schools and ask them your position on the wait list and to express your interest again? Thanks! 

    Hey! I'm not a grad student yet (will be starting this fall!) but I was waitlisted to my number one school so I sent them a letter of interest telling them how/why they were my number one and that I would accept if admitted. I also asked where I was on the waitlist and they told me (not sure if most schools do but I know some do. I ended up getting in :) good luck with everything!

  3. Hi! Yea so I applied to Purdue for Fall 2018 and got in but denied the acceptance because I got into my #1 school, but I was definitely considering it!

    I had a 3.7 undergrad GPA (out of field applicant, major in psych) with a GRE of 155 verbal, 154 quant and 5.5 writing. I had two volunteer experiences working in speech clinics and about a year job experience in early intervention. I believe I had a strong personal statement (I went through speech therapy myself) and had 4 letters of rec (2 professors, one SLP I worked with and 1 from my boss).

    No need to be nervous! Let me know if you have any more questions and good luck!

    Hi! I go to Penn State currently for undergrad! I loved my 4 years here and I wouldn't change a thing! I love the big campus feel, everyone is super friendly and campus is easily accessible by walking (everything is roughly 15 minutes walk from each other). Many graduate students live off campus in an area called Toft Trees, which is about 10 minute drive off campus and is right by the airport and a few restaurants. Most students take a bus from there to campus, due to restricted parking spots for students (the parking spots are mainly for faculty). Penn State has FABULOUS research! I have been involved in two research labs here on campus and have loved every minute of it. If you want to have a good background in research, I recommend our program. The grad program here is small, but it's great for one-on-one time with teachers and faculty. Our clinic is on campus and is located on the first floor of the CSD building. The only downside is that we don't live near many hospitals for the medical rotation, so you may have to travel for that rotation. In addition, the downtown feel of State College is amazing, it makes the college seem a lot bigger and more lively than it already is. PS you can get tickets for our football games! If you are able to bring your car, I recommend it. I park a few blocks from my apartment and I love being able to get off campus for a little bit. Sometimes I do feel trapped being on campus all the time, so having a car gives me a little break. Best of luck in graduate school! 

    Thank you so much for the helpful information!

    Hey guys! I'm also waiting for Emerson and am actually kind of annoyed because usually schools let you know if you've been put on the waitlist but I emailed Emerson asking about something else and then asked when they will be letting us know by and they said if we haven't heard back yet we were put on the waitlist...and that we should hear before April 15th. I asked if they sent out an email because I hadn't received anything at all (honestly kind of upset about that) and she didn't answer my question. So there you go...hope you guys get in though! I have to start figuring out my backup plan because I honestly can't wait on them forever :/

    Sorry jk, the lady I talked to knew nothing. Just got an email saying to login to the portal and I got waitlisted. They said I’d find out anytime up until July 1st...

    Wow, I FEEL THIS!!!! So hard. It’s my spring break this week, I got two waitlists and one rejection, still waiting on two (Emerson being one, which has already sent out some acceptances so I assume I’m either waitlisted or rejected again). I feel so defeated. I thought I was in good standing, good GPA, average GRE scores (I  think this is my downfall), tons of experience, great LORs, special education minor, strong personal statement. It is beyond frustrating getting waitlisted. I find myself asking “why aren’t I good enough?” constantly. Seeing others with weaker GPA/GRE scores getting into schools you were waitlisted at is also discouraging. We just gotta hang in there and hope we’ll hear from the waitlists. The waiting sucks but it’s all we can do right now. Keep your head up!

    Did anyone get waitlist from Boulder? Just wondering if I should still hope for that or wait to received my rejection since they sent out admission invites...

     

    I got waitlisted from Boulder and I would definitely suggest emailing them and asking where you are on the waitlist so you can get a better idea of what your chances are! I did that and they let me know. Good luck!

  8. Hi guys! I'm having a really hard time deciding between Purdue, GWU, and Penn State. If there are any graduate students who are in these programs or simply if you have any insight I would greatly appreciate it! Purdue and Penn State are ranked super well but I'm mainly worried about the surrounding areas being too rural and then GWU sounds great but is definitely the most expensive option. Please help me decide, thanks!!
