  1. Hey there! I haven't made one yet, but I'd be down to start it!
  2. I'd email a professor at your current online school to make sure they'll sign off on your hours. I have heard horror stories where people will use Master Clinician and their professors were unaware and therefore did not sign off. Master Clinician is an excellent site and I have about 15 hours logged right now. (If you want to observe the literal cutest kiddo ever, watch the sessions with client "WL")
  3. Has anybody else accepted their offer for WIU? I have been waiting to officially hear back about a graduate assistantship and after being offered a position I will be accepting. I was thinking we could make a Facebook page or something else (I know a lot of people think Facebook pages are cliche), but I am very excited to be attending WIU next year!
  4. Honestly... I don't know if they would. It would make a lot of sense for them to do so, but the deadline is April 8th... We all know these programs take a little time to get back to us, unfortunately. They should let us know though, since like you said, it affects decisions and It would certainly affect mine.
  5. I assume you just received the email. I should've updated this post and say that UWM told me they'd get back to us with funding applications this week. Dr. Lund was waiting on information for one program and didn't want to prematurely send out apps!
  6. I'll have a little more debt than you at the end of graduate school because my Estimated Family Contribution on FAFSA was just high enough that I didn't get aid (I should probably be grateful that my family earns enough, but they still weren't able to afford any of my college. Regardless, I will look into consolidating my loans for a much lower interest rate and use an option to have increments taken out of my paycheck every month. This way I don't really ever see the debt looming over me and I can pay into the debt if I ever have extra cash! Debt is completely scary and it's completely valid to feel overwhelmed by it -- I know I am. As somebody else mentioned, I believe school SLP's may be eligible for a loan forgiveness option through the government, so maybe look into that. I'm here to PM if you want to talk more about it!
  7. Has anybody received funding information from the UW-M decisions email? I posted about this on the general admission decisions page too.
  8. Does anyone know when they'll be sending out decisions? It's been about a week and a half later than when they've sent decisions historically.
  9. Oh man, I forgot about the ETS fees... those were outrageous. I'll take this L.
  10. Oh man, I forgot about the ETS fees... those were outrageous. I'll take this L.
  11. $900 for eight schools?! Were they on CSDCAS? That seems like a lot...
  12. While I agree Ph.D.'s programs do care more about what research/experience you've had and the name of your graduate school, I still think it's tough to justify their price tag. Again, we will have to see what NU offers after they send official funding information, but there are plenty of bigger-name state schools (and even cheaper private schools for that matter) that provide equally-excellent opportunities for research.
  13. 23... I was a student worried about my low GPA. Note to anybody else worried about low GPA's, do not apply to this many schools. I know about how stressful this process is, but if you need suggestions of schools who look at the applicant as a whole PM me...
  14. I think they just really liked what I offered as a candidate in the interview, honestly. I felt super strong about it. I'd say go for it and ask because what's the worst they can do -- say no? It's definitely a benefit though. I'd be paying around $23,000 before living expenses so it's a fair price, but I wish they did reciprocity with my state. PM me if you have any other questions because it's between UND and one other school who may offer a GA position for me.
