Hillsboro is cheaper than Beaverton from what I’ve heard, and a little closer to Forest Grove. Beaverton is a pretty large area, but it’s right next to Hillsboro. It’s about 35-40 minutes from where I am in Beaverton to campus. You’ll probably hit a little traffic no matter what unless you live in Forest Grove. There are several Facebook groups for rooming in the greater Portland area where you can specify what type of environment you’re looking for. Hope this helps!

I think classes are 3 days (Mon, Tue, Wed) the first semester, and then 2 days a week the second semester. Also, if anyone has questions about the area, I moved up 2 years ago and live in Beaverton but worked in downtown Portland

Yeah, I live in Beaverton - about 35 minutes from campus driving! I know some current grad students live in Beaverton as well!

I accepted!

I declined my offers to BU, MGH, and NYU and will be declining my waitlist position at Portland State. Hope this helps!

I’m going around 12:30/12:45!

I’m considering NYU as well! I’m hoping the open house next week will help me decide

@Ali_Irene13 I checked my CSUEB email and also received my Financial Aid award but haven't heard anything else from them yet

@BioCook yep I am! I’m sure we’ll see each other at one of the two

No problem! I'm totally undecided still ? I was fortunate enough to get into 4 programs, but each has pros and cons. I'm hoping the open houses will help!

Hey, I'm planning on going and can definitely fill you in after!

I got into MGH & BU too! Planning on going to both open houses as well

I saw some people posting denied and waitlisted statuses via email, but I still haven’t heard either way. This waiting is making me nervous ?

I have been prepping with general interview questions as well as focusing on situational questions. I had an interview last week and was asked several “Tell me about a time...” questions

Just heard back as well! Anyone know what the interview is going to be like / if we have a writing sample?

@rtn99 I just responded to the general email address and said to let me know if they needed anything else

I sent it like this (would prefer Saturday but can do Friday?). I also included my skype name in the first box underneath. Hope this is right! Date Preferred date(s) Possible date(s) Not Possible Friday, February 22nd X Saturday, February 23rd X

Nice! Southeast Portland is pretty trendy and has fun nightlife spots, and SW downtown is more business-y above Portland State and is nice to walk around (I work downtown). Feel free to message me for more details

Congrats! I'm near Portland right now, so it's close for me. What about you?

@nwslp @andreadls22 thank you both for the info! Very excited/nervous

Hi everyone! I got an email yesterday afternoon to interview at Pacific University on 2/15/19, and I'm super excited! Has anyone else heard back / confirmed that interview date yet? For applicants who have interviewed in prior years, what tips do you have? Thanks!

Hi! I'm originally from San Francisco but did my undergrad in New York, and I'm currently living in Portland, OR, completing my CSD coursework online through Pacific University. I'm planning on applying to MGHIHP, Pacific University, Portland State University, and University of Washington. I'm also considering applying to CSUEB, SFSU, and NYU, but I really want a school that will let me focus on aphasia as much as possible, since I know that's the population I want to work with. Let me know if you know of any schools I should look into! I don't have any research experience, and I wish my GRE scores were higher, but I'm hoping my personal statement and volunteer experience can make up for that!
