  1. Hey everyone! Just wondering if anybody has heard back from CSUF after the open house? I heard they don't send out rejections and I know we were told we'd hear back by Friday 3/12 otherwise we weren't accepted. But I haven't seen anyone get accepted from CSUF on the results page yet. So any insight would help! Thank you.
  2. Hi! I applied to CSULB, CSUF, SDSU, SFSU, CSULA, CSUN, and Chapman (all California schools). Cumulative GPA (3.8) SLP GPA (4.0) GRE (149 V, 153 Q, 5 AW)
  3. So I'm currently in the process of deciding what schools to apply to and I'm considering San Francisco State University, however, I don't see many posts about it on here and was wondering if anybody could give some insight about the program? I like that it has a bilingual program and how diverse the area is in terms of settings like schools, clinics, hospitals, etc. However, since I'm from OC I don't know if I would be able to handle moving there. Cost of living is extremely pricey and I just don't know how I would go about settling in to a different city with no connections, especially such a busy, populated one like SF. Has anybody gotten funding/stipends there? Does anybody have any advice about the living expenses/transportation there, as well as if they think their program is worth going into debt for (in my case, I'm a first gen student and I'm paying for school on my own & I'm terrified of going into a large amount debt). Has anybody gone to school there while living in a different city, if so how was the commute? Any info helps, thank you!
  4. I'm so sorry you have that on your plate on top of all the other overwhelming current issues ? I would personally choose to go to the private university. Although I wouldn't be too happy about the price and debt, I would think of it as allowing myself to attain a career as an SLP one year sooner, which would allow me to pay back that debt with my SLP salary anyway. (This might be different for you as everyone has their own financial priorities) There is no guarantee your local university would accept you again, and if you feel that a gap year is not for you then I would go ahead and continue with school if it's somewhat feasible. I hope that helps!
  5. Hi everyone! I'm currently an undergraduate SLP major and I will apply to grad schools in California in the Fall. I took the GRE recently and received such low scores. On my practice tests I would get anywhere from 150-160 on both V & Q. However, I got 147 V & 148 Q on the actual test, still waiting for my writing score. I have a 3.85 cumulative GPA, 4.0 in the major. I have worked in city recreation planning programs for teens of all abilities for the last 3 years (some had autism, hearing aids, ADHD). I have also worked as substitute special education instructional assistant in elementary school for about a year and a half. I was a student research assistant for a geriatric resource center on my campus for about 8 months, and am currently volunteering as a research assistant for a graduate clinician's research project within the SLP department. Apart from this, I volunteered as a translator at the speech clinic on campus for a semester until COVID. I am bilingual in Spanish. I've been part of NSSLHA for 2 years and held a very minor leadership position the first year I joined. I also volunteered at a private speech clinic and local children's hospital for a year. I've received 2 minor scholarships as well. I'm basically spilling out my resume to you all to ask whether or not I have a chance getting accepted to CSU's in California. I'm aware my GRE scores are super low, but I sent them to my schools out of impulse anyway and I'm regretting it! Should I retake it and send my scores if they end up being higher, or would you think that would make me look bad? Thanks for any insight
  6. Hi everyone! I'm an undergraduate SLP student and I am about to complete my first semester at a cal state since I'm a community college transfer student. I feel behind because I did not put in the effort to meet with professors all semester and get to know them. I participate and ask questions in class every once and a while, but I'm simply just another student. However, I need a faculty member for programs and scholarships to be a recommender by late January. How should I approach them without being too pushy? I understand it's very late & I should have been putting in the effort. Any tips?
  7. Hi everyone, I'm currently an SLP undergraduate at a local CSU. I'm interested in applying to graduate school in California but want to know what experience, test scores, GPA, etc I should have to remain competitive. Has anyone gotten accepted to the CSUF, CSULB, or Chapman SLP Grad program? If so, what were your stats related to scores/gpa/experience? Any advice as well?
