Any other confirmed future UAMS students?

So talking to a few first years during the tour day, it seemed like there were quite a few got in off of the waitlist so you would probably still have a decent shot. I for one hope you get in too! I'm so stoked! Also, did you know they're moving the classrooms? I think the clinic will remain where it is on the UALR Campus but classes will be on the UAMS Campus 10 min away. I'm kinda glad because I feel like it will be a medical atmosphere and we will get to work more with other professions maybe?

Just posted in the big thread: JUST got my acceptance letter from UAMS...like 5 minutes ago. They said they're not doing interviews.

Hey guys! Just heard from UAMS! I got accepted!!! Seeing as that's the only place I applied, I will be going there this fall! So excited!!!

@AuD(ream) I reached out and was told they would not be doing interviews. Not sure why.

Has anyone been contacted by a school with a Jan 15 application deadline? I don't think there are many people on here that are applying to UAMS, but it there is, have you heard anything?

OMG it is almost exactly the same for me! I started out with Anthropology and was disappointed when I found out my school had limited options for linguistic anthropology. So then I added a Spanish Major and then a Linguistic minor when the English Department expanded during my senior year. I graduated, started pursuing a teaching license for Spanish and realized that wasn't for me and I was just doing it because it seemed like the next logical step. I thought about SLP because I had always enjoyed tutoring and then I could just combine that with linguistics. So now, I'm a year into all of the prerequisites I need in order to apply for a Masters SLP program and realize I'd rather to Audiology. After thinking about it though it makes sense, I always loved phonetics more than morphology and syntax and when tutoring, I hated doing ELA and always volunteered for the STEM kids.

Hi there! This year I'm only applying to UAMS in Little Rock where I live. I am a non-traditional student who graduated in 2014 but I was going back to do prerequisite course work for SLP. Decided to change tracks and go ahead and apply for AuD (fewer prereqs). In the process of applying now though I am irrevocably hooked and invested in getting into school for the fall. I'm still taking some SLP classes for the spring though just in case I don't get in.
