I emailed saying thank you for taking the time to interview me for your school. very simple but gets the point across.

you are not alone this has been my biggest fear throughout the whole process I’ve just been trying to stay positive and distract myself by focusing on other things as hard as it is.

are you within the 7 hour driving distance? Im hoping maybe they haven't sent anything to people they are doing remote interviews with.

Has anyone heard from St Ambrose about interviews?? Starting to get worried ?

Its so hard not to think of the worst possibility when you see others get interviews

What school is this? I know Sacred Heart said they do a group part in their interview.

remember different schools send them out at different times depending on when the application was due! Stay positive we will all find our place! ?

What school are you attending that has a 3.5 cut off? and is that for last 60 credits or overall?

Thank you so much for the reassurance!

Unfortunately when I looked at my application again after submitting it I found a sentence that I did not phrase right. I believe it is only one mistake in the essay, but I'm not sure if one mistake can completely kill my chances since this field is so competitive ?

I have my GPA on my resume, but i'm not sure if it should be my CSDCAS GPA or my GPA from my university

St Ambrose in Iowa ?

I'm not sure if you are trying to stay in an area, but I know Baylor will let you submit an extra letter explaining a flaw in your application such as your grades from before. Keep your head up!

MGH lets you write a diversity statement so I would assume they would be LGBT friendly MGH Institute of Health Professions considers having a diverse student population a key element to the educational experience of its students and the CSD department dedicates a large portion of scholarship funds to diverse candidates. Diversity presents itself in many different forms, such as: socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or place of origin, disability, unique life or work experience, etc. We invite you to share with us how you might contribute to the diversification of our institute and your program.

I am still waiting on one more professor to submit her recommendation to CSDCAS. My first deadline is January 1st and I have already emailed her to ensure she got the request i'm not sure what to do next I don't want the reason I don't get in to be because I was missing a letter ?

My first one was verified in two days and then the second one seemed to be verified as soon as I submitted the application.

Is Worcester easier to get in? Thank you!

Thank you both! It was my overall GPA and was only by .04 so I don't think over all it will make much of a difference.

So I was super excited I only just submitted my app Friday and its already verified, but then I looked at the GPA my GPA is lower on the CSDCAS than if I asked my University?!?!

I came from a similar background. I was originally a pharmacy major. My first semester I ended up getting 2.3 GPA before second grade option and 2.5 after. I have worked really hard in my classes and have done a lot better since finding CMD. I will graduate in May with a 3.4 GPA that is not super higher, but when coming from a 2.5 GPA that is huge leap. I also did a lot of shadowing and just jump on as many opportunities in the field as you can. I am applying this year with a 3.4 overall and a 3.5 major. Also a big thing I have found in the process is if you had to take Intro to Chemistry and intro to Biology most schools want at least a B in those classes so you may have to retake them.

Do not give up! I was a pharmacy major my first semester. Ended my first semester with a 2.5 worked really hard in my classes once I found the right major (CMD) and I will be graduating in May with close to a 3.5 and I am applying to graduate school this year (Crossed fingers I get in) also there are some schools that look at your last 60 credits if speech is what you want to do gain experience in the field and keep going!! ?

how did you decide what schools to apply to?

thank you this is def helpful!

How did you narrow down your schools. I went through ASHA, but there is still more schools than I can afford to apply to. I have lower stats so it got rid of some schools GPA 3.41 Major GPA 3.5, GRE 149 verbal, 144 quant, 3.5 writing (Hopefully they will be better on the 10th) any suggestions on figuring out where to apply to my letter writers want school names, but im still stuck. Thank you!

I am currently applying to grad school now and figured out I should of taken the GRE in the summer. I did take it once, but I only received a 149 verbal, 144 quant and 3.5 writing. I am trying to take it again, but with the first deadline coming January 1st I am super stressed about my scores getting there on time? The next date in my town is not until December 21st YIKES Anyone know how long it took for ETS to get scores to schools? I only have a 3.41 GPA so I need the GRE scores to be HIGH ?
