I'm currently waitlisted and was told I'd find out by the 21st...so maybe me if I can get in!
-
Hey everyone! I was just waitlisted to my top choice and only applied to one other school, so i'm obviously a little anxious (not too surprised though). Should I follow up with the program director expressing my interest in the program I was waitlisted at or just wait to be contacted? I'm a few years out from when I did undergrad and am not sure what my next steps should be!
-
@Blondie! How are you feeling about it? That's where I completed my undergrad and wanted to do grad too. Kinda bummed but still hopeful that I could get off the waitlist. Now I'm just anxiously refreshing my email for WCU lol. Do you know if we'll be told through CSDCAS or email?
-
Just found out I was waitlisted at App State. That's my first choice so I'm praying I get a spot! I haven't heard back from Western Carolina.

Hey guys! I graduated in 2016 and this is my first time applying to a master's program. I only applied to Appalachian State and Western Carolina but can't figure out how to change the colors on my phone lol. Hoping to hear back soon!

@estel Thank you for the response and calming some nerves! Having graduated a few years ago and trying to get back into the swing of things has been extremely intimidating.

None of my professors have submitted their LOR but everything else for my application is submitted. My earliest deadline is 2/1...am I going to miss the deadline because of my LORs? I've read that you should get all materials submitted weeks before the deadline but I've been out of school for a few years and am not sure. I feel like I've screwed myself over and won't have a completed application in time because of these darn letters.
Someone help so I can stop panicking or start to make a plan to apply a lot earlier for the next cycle!!

Sorry if this is a bit off topic--I graduated in field a few years ago and am now applying for the fall 2020 cohort. Can anyone give me a general idea of the timeline for applications? I'm nearing the end of having everything paid and requested but don't have any of my letters back. Am I behind at this point? When should I start to get nervous if things aren't submitted? My earliest deadline is 2/1.

Thank you for responding! Being out of school has made it a bit difficult to get myself to focus on this. I'll check these sites out!

Hey everyone! I graduated from undergrad a few years ago and am now applying for the fall 2020 grad programs. Is there anyone that would want to chat about resumes/personal statements? I'm finishing up my resume but am nearly clueless for my statement. Would love to bounce ideas off someone if anyone is interested!

Hi everyone! Is it too late to take the GRE in October to apply for fall 2019? I've been stressing out about it and putting it off but need to schedule a date asap.
-
I worked for 2 years after graduating with a CSD degree and am now applying for fall 2019. I'm asking 2 professors for LORs but was wondering if it'd be appropriate to get my 3rd LOR from my employer. I work at mortgage company and plan on highlighting skills I learned from the professional experience in my LOI but I'm not sure if getting an LOR from my supervisor will help/hurt me. Any advice is welcomed!

Hi everyone! I've been shadowing a few SLPs in a private clinic but I'm not sure how I need to document these hours. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've seen past posts where people created their own spreadsheets to document but I'm not sure what I need to submit for applications in the fall.

I feel like it depends on the programs you are applying to and the area you are looking at! I am from the NJ/NY/PA/D.C area and got into schools in all 3 states with a 3.2 GPA and average GRE Scores after waiting a year. I worked for a year, had killer recs and a personal statement, and CALLED the departments on a biweekly basis as well as emailed the programs to show to show my continued interest.
Some programs look at students more holistically than others. I applied to 10 schools and got into 2 of them, then waitlisted at 5 (3 of which I got a yes from after frequent follow ups). Persistence is definitely KEY! Good Luck!
Were you calling departments once you started applying? My top choice is where I went for undergrad and I'm still in contact with a professor there so I'm hoping that counts for something. I'm on the low end for their preferred GPA (3.51) and I'm not sure what they look for in an applicant.

@Jbslp95 I've been trying to do some research on it but haven't been able to find an exact answer. I think I'll have to call the department! My top choice does say online that if in field applicants haven't taken audiology, that they would be able to in the grad program as an elective. So I'm wondering that maybe they'd just make me retake it in grad school if I was admitted. I was feeling really good about everything else but am now starting to panic about this because I got a C in physics too
Are you taking audiology online? I'm wondering if it's too late to sign up for a course this summer.

@rebeccank17 I would say go for it, if you have the money to do so. I had a GPA just slightly above yours, average GRE scores, and 4 years of relevant work experience. I retook two courses that I got C's in the first time. I retook them at ENMU online and got A's. I don't know if that is specifically what got me into 4 of the schools I applied to, but every bit helps!
Did you retake CSD classes that you go C's in? I got a C in audiology and I'm debating on whether or not I should retake it. I've never applied but am applying for Fall 2019. My GPA is 3.51 and I'm trying to really do well on the GRE to counter it.
-
If I'm going the speech route would any of you recommend retaking audiology? I got a C in it. Also, I got a C in my physics class. Those were my worst grades and got As in everything else except neuroanatomy (B). I'm not sure if it's worth retaking these classes or not.

Hi all! I graduated with my bachelor's in 2016 but wanted to take time off before applying to a grad program. I've been pretty bummed out because I just don't think I have much of a chance since I took time off and haven't done anything relevant in the time being. I've been working full time since graduation in the business field but am switching to nannying part-time this summer so I will have the time to shadow and volunteer with local SLPs. I'm not sure if it helps but the 2 children I'm nannying have Tourette syndrome.
I graduated with a 3.51 overall GPA and am taking the GRE this summer. I've already started a rigorous studying schedule because I want to blow the GRE out of the water to counter my GPA being a bit lower. I will be able to get LORs but I only think 1 or 2 will be decent. However, I'm thinking if I shadow enough then I can have an SLP (who worked with my sisters for years) write me a LOR.
Is there anything you guys think I can do to help strengthen my application? I'm applying for Fall 2019 so I don't have a ton of time but want to do anything I can.
Western Carolina Unversity Class of 2022??
