I'm pretty sure they said twice when I went to go interview and they are just a long 2 days. The first year I talked to lives in Portland and said her clinical is there and the drive isn't bad which I agree! Can always email Diana to double check if it is twice or 3 times!
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

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

That’s awesome!! Thank you so much!! Are you definitely going to BU or still unsure?
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!

@raspie Sweet - I've been seeing some results online. I haven't gotten anything yet haha oh 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 ?

Bringing this thread back - how are you all prepping for the upcoming interviews? Looking at anything special or just general grad school interview questions?
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

Has anyone gotten an interview invite to Boston University yet? I'm trying to figure out how to fill out the interview preferences table. It's very confusing haha... I saw someone posted a similar question on the results page, but was hoping that someone had insight here. Thanks!
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!

@samijeanne Awesome! Im in San Diego!
What area of Portland do you recommend for a hotel. Im staying in Forest Grove on Thrusday but I would like to stay the weekend downtown and explore since I have never been there.
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

I got an email this morning for the 2/15 interview so excited! Where are you from?
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!

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!
