If you do not want to retake the GRE which I completely understand, look into programs that do not require the GRE!! I know Illinois State University is one.

I was accepted into Wichita as well, but turned it down due to getting into my #1 choice. Congrats!! My best friend is a 2nd year at Wichita and she loves it! She said they are redoing their courses for the upcoming class so it should be a little better entrance than what she had which is awesome. She always brags on the professors and obviously likes how its a shorter program. The only negative thing is she mentioned that externships can be a little more difficult to get because a lot of places require 4 year programs vs 3 years programs. I would have easily accepted Wichita's offer if classes didn't start June 3rd. Good Luck!

When I first began my undergrad, I originally wanted to do speech. But my first class was phonetics and I fell in love. I waited until my speech and language clinicals to fully decide which one I wanted to pursue, but ultimately audiology won. For me, speech was too "teachery". I love kids, but I did not like having to repeat myself every day during clinic. That is what solidified my decision. I agree with every one else on observing more! Besides having an audiology practicum where I personally saw clients, I observed a lot in various settings such as private practices and ENT offices. I now work at Vanderbilt Medical Center as a newborn hearing screener and I LOVE the hospital setting!! I just got accepted into grad school, and I already know that I want to go back to working in the hospital as a full time audiologist after I graduate bc I love it SO much. I know that cost of AuD school is a concern, but if you truly want to do audiology, do not let cost be a factor! We need great audiologists in this world, and if you are supposed to be one of them, please do not let cost interfere. Apply to programs with GA positions bc they often cover tuition and apply to schools that are known to offer funding, there are ways around the cost!

I interviewed Friday and was so shocked when I saw I was being interviewed by 4 people at the same time, I forgot to mention that I now work at Vanderbilt as a hearing technician which is a huge deal!! *face palm*

I interviewed Friday with ISU. Check the results page to see if people have heard back from the other schools.

@MeganBee Did you hear from NOAC? I am waitlisted, but will take my name off if I get accepted into Illinois State which I should hear from in the next week.

I interviewed this morning!! They sent out interview invitations Jan 30.

When I emailed Dr. Miller today, she said that the committee is meeting next week, so maybe they will reach out then if possible?

Congrats!!!!!

I just emailed Dr. Miller, and she said that applicants should hear by March 1st. She said I did not need anything else so hopefully I am still okay?

Do you have to have a phone interview to be considered? Did they say that it is part of the process?

Lol, I probably should have replied thanking them at least. I just had a million other things going on when I received the email, and it was the last thing on my mind after I read it!

I did not know that. I didn't even reply to the visitation day email because I knew I wasn't going to go since it was not mandatory and I would have to fly there. I mean, the email clearly stated that attending was not mandatory for admission.

hi!! I have not heard anything from NOAC. I didn't attend the visitation day since it was not mandatory, but considering they just had the visitation day, I assume it will be a couple of weeks before we hear. I read in your other comments that they have an interview? I have looked all over their website, and haven't seen anything about an interview process for them. Maybe I missed something?

I sent my application in December 10, and it took Salus exactly 10 days to send an invitation, so December 20, but I did not go for the interview until over a month later because I wanted to push it back as far as possible. I interviewed Monday Jan. the 28th, and I got accepted yesterday! I believe that they only do in person interviews, and from my experience, I would recommend going just so you can meet people and see the campus.
