What prerequisites are you taking?
-
Has anyone attended this program that could tell me more about it and how they like it? I've familiarized myself with everything on their website, but would love to hear your personal opinions and experiences. Any incoming students?
-
Did anyone make a page for Western Carolina University?

UPS has a tuition reimbursement program that I've used to pay for most of my leveling classes. They offer up to 5k/year for PT package handlers and it's available from the time you start (if you're at an eligible location). You can also get health insurance after 10 (or 12?) months. It might be too much with grad school though.
-
Check out Minot State University in ND.

You can look into state scholarships or try to find employers that are willing to pay some portion of your graduate debt for x years of service. There are also companies that offer tuition reimbursement (usually only up to 5250/year because that's the maximum per employee for tax benefits) if you work during graduate school for them.
For California residents:
1. The Advanced Practice Health Scholarship: Those awarded the scholarship can receive up to 25k for one year of school. If awarded, you have to agree to a 12 month service obligation (full-time) direct patient care at a qualified facility in CA. It can be awarded up to 3 times. This application cycle is closed, but you can try next year. https://oshpd.ca.gov/loans-scholarships-grants/scholarships/aphsp/
2. The Baldwin Scholarship (from the Scottish Rite Foundation): 6k grant for 1 year. The application cycle closed, but you can try to apply for it next year.

You still haven't heard anything from them, right? I don't understand what's taking so long especially since they sent out a bunch of acceptances already.
-
Thanks. I haven't heard anything back from them yet, I hope that doesn't mean it's bad news. Are you going to go to NCCU?
-
Does anyone know if NCCU still plans to send out admissions decisions this month or before April 15th?
-
I went to CUNY Queens for a different undergrad degree. It seems like you're both from NYC as well, but if you want any general info about the campus I can probably help. They do have good connections with the nearby schools.
-
I still haven't heard back from my top choice NCCU.
-
I just got waitlisted at App too. Hopefully we'll get good news from WCU.
-
I'm not an international student, but I know Minot State University charges the same price to international students as in-state students. I think it's under 15k/year.
-
There are schools that accept students with a lower GPA. If you use the search function for this sub-forum and search low GPA or low GPA acceptances you can see where other people applied and accepted. Here are a few I've heard of off the top of my head.
Francis Marion University
University of South Carolina
Grand Valley State University
Xavier University of Louisiana
ENMU

I applied to Appalachian State, NCCU, and Western Carolina University.
-
I applied to North Carolina Central University, Western Carolina University, Appalachian State University, and Eastern New Mexico University. I only applied to schools that I could realistically attend, but I'm really worried I won't get in. Good luck to everyone!
-
Can I PM you mine?
-
I have had a positive experience taking undergraduate classes online at ENMU. The teachers have been really nice and most of them reply quickly. Which is part of the reason I am applying to their graduate program. They definitely want you to succeed. I took Aural Rehab with Hall last semester and got an A. If I'm remembering correctly she posts audio (it might have included video) recordings of her lectures, but I got an A from reading the book and the slides. You should be fine. I haven't taken EBP yet.

@screechcatWould you still be willing to look over my SOI?
Thank you for everyone for all your help!
-
-
I'm sorry I didn't get a notification that anyone replied. I would really appreciate that, I will message it to you.
-
Would anyone be willing to read over my statement of intent? I'm not a good writer and I would love some outside opinions. If anyone wants me to read over theirs as well I can.

@alyssafrancis I would really like to know more about it if you don't mind sending another email as well.
How do speech path grad students make money while in school?

You might be able to get a job at an animal shelter during the weekends, but you'll probably need at least some volunteer experience. You could also try temp agencies and more retail places (like you have been). I had the same problem of not being able to find a job (and it's partially why I'm going to grad school). I think it's going to be hard right now with so many people unemployed and forced to take those retail jobs. If you're in a small college town it will be harder, you're going to be applying to all those positions along with all the other college students who need money.
