    PNWSpeech got a reaction from musicalmini in Who's trying again?!   
    Hi everyone!
    No grad school for me this fall, which is okay Who else is beefing up their resumes and trying again?? I was rejected everywhere but one school last year (couldn't afford it, turned it down), was wait listed at 5 schools this year and rejected at 3, seems like we're on track to get in if I keep putting in the work haha.
    Congrats to everyone who got in this year, can't wait to work with you all in the future. Logging off for a few months - what a process

    Did anyone else JUST get waitlisted? I'm so confused. Again, Did NOT interview, have been waiting for a rejection for months, why would they just send a WL now? Not feeling hopeful about this one, will probably turn down So weird!
    Congrats to everyone going!! Such a great program, enjoy!

    Just want to throw out there that last year I was waitlisted at chapman w/o an interview and turned down the spot because I was accepted to NYU's residential program. There's no way to really know what's going on with these programs. It's a bad way to do things, they know how small this community is etc. but it's not impossible I guess?

    @speechieontherun I’m not asking that you sugarcoat it. I’m asking that you don’t comment at all if you are unable to support other students. There is a difference between being realistic and being cruel. Please get off grad cafe.

    You weren't offered an interview, people who were interviewed are on the waitlist. Why would you think that you would be offered a waitlist spot or admission without an interview?

    Ugh I had the same conversation with them earlier this week. It honestly feels a little rude to string us along for so long when we know interviews happened months ago and people have been accepted. Even a WL at this point we know we're lower on the list than people who interviewed who were waitlisted. Lots of heartbreak in this process :) Good luck!!!

    Hi! I'm working through a big decision and could use some unbiased feedback that my friends and family can't give.
    I have committed to NYU's on-campus program. It's 3,000 miles away from where I live and will be about 25,000 a year in tuition after my funding. Plus cost of living. I'll be paying for cost of living and the difference in tuition with student loans. Because of this i'm looking at AT LEAST 75,000 in debt, plus 20,000 from undergrad.
    I applied as a first year post-bacc student, I've gotten a 4.0 during my post bacc year and have been doing everything I can to be involved. I was rejected from 5 schools, waitlisted at one, and accepted to NYU. In the 2 months since i've gotten accepted the excitement has worn off and i'm considering rescinding my acceptance, working for a year and continuing to volunteer in the lab I work in, and reapply.
    I feel that retaking the GRE, my improved GPA, and experience with the whole application cycle would give me a better shot at being accepted to a cheaper program closer to where I want to work in my career. But i'm also terrified of not getting in anywhere and wasting my only chance at becoming an SLP.
    I'm also anxious to get started and turning down an offer just feels unheard of for my post-bacc friends who didn't get in anywhere.
    Is it insane to do this?? I wouldn't re-apply to NYU, i'd stick to programs in Oregon, California, and Washington. Any advice or experience from someone who's done the same would be much appreciated! Same with any encouragement to suck up the debt and go to New York! (I bet there's great clinical opportunities there)
    Thank you!! ❤️ ❤️

    PNWSpeech got a reaction from BlackGirlSpeechie in Schools that accept low GREs scores; HELP!!   
    I used Magoosh for my GRE and it really really helped! The free trial version is great and you can't just keep getting free weeks as long as you have emails to spare haha. Also all their instructional videos are on youtube if you search for the video name!
    Even a few points would help compensate for the GPA  Good luck!!!

    PNWSpeech got a reaction from Stephanie022594 in Second year applicants   
    I'm also a first year applicant but was told by one of my waitlists that they use their waitlist until term starts citing a story from a cohort that admitted their last wait listed applicant the week before orientation. My bf's sister in law was admitted to her nursing program the day it started. Waitlists are a nightmare haha
    Hopefully it all works for you though! For everybody!!

    Oh i'm sure that's true then!! I would go with pacific   I've loved everything about PSU but pacific just has such a charming program! I'm not going there, I actually didn't get into PSU OR Pacific, so i'm trying to decide if I wanna move across the country for a program or reapply and stay local.
    Best of luck!!!
