  1. Awesome! Congrats on your interview!! I'm starting to get nervous!
  2. Thank you so much! I've read a lot about USA on here and it means they are a new school and they're in the process of getting accredited by ASHA. Every school had to do it at some point. I saw on a previous thread that someone had called ASHA and they're state's licensing department and both said there will be no negative impact as a student when you apply for CCC's if you graduate from a university that is a candidate for accreditation. If you can you should register for one of their webinars. They explain the process a lot better than I can lol. I'm also from California and because they're a newer school and working on accreditation they can only accept applicants from about 15 states because of licensing when it comes to clinic placements. Hope that was helpful :)
  3. I haven't seen anyone post about St Augustine in a while so I figured I'd start a new thread! I'm going to the Dallas interview on November 8th anybody else? Hoping we can connect and share our excitement together for these next steps in the process!
  4. Hi! An admissions counselor called me today to review my CSDCAS application for the Dallas campus. She asked if I would be willing to go to the Austin campus in the event that I'm waitlisted and a spot at the Austin campus opens up. She said the only difference is the campus facilities and the professors you would have. I would say apply to your top choice location but don't stress too much about it!
  5. When you create an account on CSDCAS you can filter search schools that have a distance option! There's lots!!
  6. I was looking for programs that have a distance option so that's how I found them. It is through CSDCAS. Everything I know is through what is provided on their websites! I figured I should apply to as many schools as I realistically can and if I get more than one acceptance I'll cross that bridge when I get there ?
  7. I'm applying! I'm just waiting for someone to look at my essay but hopefully I submit it this weekend.
  8. I posted something similar a few weeks ago and I'd be happy to exchange with you. Also, I'm currently reading a book called "Graduate Admissions Essays: Write Your Way into the Graduate School of Your Choice" by Donald Asher and it has been so helpful! I rented a copy online from my local library. You should give it a read
  9. That is so helpful! I see you got into St Augustine!! That's my top choice
  10. Wow that's awesome! I'll message you for some help once I get everything together
  11. Right? There's so much I want to say but I've had trouble putting it into a professional but still interesting essay format!!
  12. That is so helpful. Some have specific prompts and some are just "Why do you want to be an SLP?" ? I needed to hear that though and just get real.
  13. Awesome! I totally will. I had a family emergency and took a week off from even thinking about it but I'm back on the grind.
  14. Hi everyone! I'm finishing up my CSDCAS apps and I pretty much only have my personal statements/essays left. I am having such a hard time getting started, I don't even know where to begin. Anyone else in the same boat? Maybe we can create a group to exchange essays and proofread and give some inspiration. Let me know!
  15. Im applying to 11 schools currently. I'm stuck on starting my essays. If you would like to exchange emails and read over each others essays just let me know!
  16. I'm in the same boat. I took a year after undergrad to take graduate classes part time at ENMU and substitute teach. I'm trying to shadow/volunteer this summer with an SLP to use that to boost my resume and get that LOR. Question for people who went in feeling like an underdog: did you submit more LORs than were required? Most schools I've looked at ask for 3 and I will be getting letters from 2 undergraduate professors, a teacher I have covered as a substitute for multiple times a month who has many sped students, and hopefully an SLP I shadow. Is it going to hurt me to send one more than they are asking for? I'm stressing out because I'm barely catching by with a 3.0 and I want to show that so many people in the field believe in me even though test anxiety makes me a terrible student. Hoping to hear from what others have done!
  17. I took it online at ENMU. Easy A with a little bit of effort. Professor is super nice too. 10/10 do recommend. Let me know if you have any questions!
  18. CBEST is a middle school grade level equivalent. I took it to get my emergency credential and I think I took 1 or 2 practice tests and I was solid and that's only because Im a bad test taker, not because its difficult.
  19. They vary depending on the professor. I substitute teach so sometimes I watch live and sometimes I catch up on the weekend. I have Swift this semester if that helps at all! Last semester Bratcher would have us work during class time. And I know Copple only teaches in the evenings.
  20. Totally depends on the class/professor. Last semester I had one class where I needed to be on and watching live because we used class time to do group work through google docs. So If I wasn't on then I would miss those points. Also had a class that required us to do a quiz on blackboard in the middle of the lecture. This semester for both my classes the professor has a policy of keeping the lecture recordings available unless she sees that attendance is down. The only real disadvantage of not watching live is not being able to ask questions but that's the case in every class. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I was so baffled by the process when I started.
  21. Hi! I'm a current distance student. You're going to be watching a live feed of the class as its happening. We use Skype to type in questions/contributions/take attendance. I like to use the Skype app on my phone to ask a quick question if I have one. I haven't had a class yet where I've needed to "call in" and use my webcam. BUT I did have a class last semester (neuro with Bratcher) and during class we had to work on group projects during class time. I've had other classes where I missed because of work and just watched the recording of class that evening. I haven't taken summer classes but I've heard its really intense so just be prepared to be able to ask a lot of questions and potentially rewatch lectures.
  22. I found out yesterday I was waitlisted as well. So bummed. I want to be hopeful I'll get that acceptance but I don't want to hold my breath either
