Wow that's amazing! Thank you!

That's really good! Ahh I wish I could go out-of state. Unfortunately, I can't go to the east coast right now due to financial reasons. I'm going to work extremely hard these last few weeks for a B then aim for A's in my last classes! Thank you!

Yeah it's really competitive everywhere. I'll just work extremely hard to pull a B in the class and aim for A's in my last few classes.

Thank you to everyone who has replied! I just wanted to say that I have not gotten any C's yet I meant to say I may or may not get one. So far I have a 3.7 GPA outside the major and after this semester if I get a B which is what I'm aiming for I'll have a 3.6 in the major. I do aim for A's not B's and I understand I have a lot of B's right now...but after this semester if i get the B and not a C I'll have 4 A's and 4 B's. Then in the fall if I get A's in my major courses it'll be 7 A's and 4 B's.

Thank you! I haven't gotten a C yet I'm just worried I will get one after I take the final exam. There is still a chance I'll get a B if I do really well on the final.

I do aim for A's and I haven't gotten the C yet I'm just worried I will get a C in the class. There is a chance I'll get a B though I'm just worried I won't bring it up.

That's amazing!! Congratulations!! Did you get mostly A's aside from the 3 C's? I have a lot of experience like being a research assistant, VP of NSSLHA, volunteer experience, being a literacy tutor, etc. but honestly grad schools seem to care more about academics than experience at least from what I've seen.

If you don't mind me asking did you have mostly A's? And did you by any chance apply to schools in IL?

I know for sure I second guess myself. My anatomy professor told me he'd always be disappointed to see that I erased the correct answer on my scantron and bubbled in an incorrect answer, he said if I didn't do that he doesn't doubt I would've gotten an A in the course. I am praying and studying so hard for a B I always work super hard but in that class it never shows. I wish the course was offered over the summer, unfortunately at my undergrad no CSD classes are offered over the summer.

I use those functions on Quizlet but I never tried the fill in the blank method but I'll give it a try! Thank you so much!

I actually know a current grad student who got in with that same GPA!

Did you get mostly As aside from the C? I'm just really nervous because it seems like grad schools don't care much for extracurriculars and just look at GRE and GPA.

I just keep telling myself I haven't gotten a C yet and I might nice but it's a possibility which is horrifying. Thankfully my non-CSD GPA is really good but I feel like grad programs don't really look at that. Did you have more As than Bs in your CSD GPA?

There is a speech path professor who told us that emailing a school your waitlisted too will put you further down on the waitlisted not know if that's true or not though she might've just been saying that. I personally don't think it's a bad idea! Or even call and ask. The director of grad admissions Dr. Schellinger is actually really nice. I don't think it'd be bad to contact them and ask for more information just because you are showing interest in the school. If you don't mind me asking what's your GPA and GRE?

I might be wrong but last year a friend of mine who was applying heard back once at the end of April or beginning of May and again mid June, then in July they announced the cohort was full but that might vary this year. I'm sure they'll reach out maybe sometime towards the end of April since I know their orientation is in June I believe so they probably want to fill up soon.

I'm an undergrad at SXU right now I know as of now 7 of the seniors submitted their deposit to SXU but I also know 2 declined who are also undergrad at SXU. I also read on a forum quite a few people declined their offers to attend SXU. I'm sure you'll get in!! There are a a lot of grad students at SXU who got accepted off the waitlist.

I do try and aim for As I think my issue is my study methods which I don't really know how else I can study it seems like I've tried every way possible...I know everyone studies differently and different things work for different people but is there any study techniques you recommend? I read over and over, rewrite over and over, use quizlet, go to office hours and TA hours. I feel like I know the material but when I go to take the exam or quiz it doesn't show.

Thank you! I've been trying really hard not to get a C I keep telling myself if I get a B on the final and an A on the last quiz I'll get the B and be okay. I study everyday and look over my notes and everything everyday I don't know what I'm doing wrong in terms of studying because I feel like I understand the material. I'm a double major so re-taking classes isn't an option since I don't have much room in my schedule to re-take courses.

My commutative GPA is fine I have As and Bs there. I'm just worried about getting a C in my major courses.

I wouldn't decline the seat at the accepted school because you really don't know where you are on the waitlist of your top 2 schools. I wouldn't take that risk unless you know for sure you'll get in the other 2 schools and really have no interest in going to the accepted school. A friend of mine got off the waitlist to her top school the day after submitting her deposit but she chose to decline the offer so you really never know.

Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior and so far I've taken 5 classes in CSD and gotten 3 Bs and 2 As. After this semester it'll be either 4 Bs and 4 As or...3 Bs, 3 As and 1 C. I am so worried about getting a C in one of my courses...it seems as though anyone who received a C was either waitlisted or rejected and I feel like I'll completely ruin my chances at getting into grad school and don't see a point in applying if I do get a C. My grades in the major are already mostly Bs so that automatically ruins my chances. Has anyone gotten in and not been waitlisted or rejected with a few As, a couple Bs and a C? So far my grades look like this: Intro- B (professor refused to round I was so close to an A) Phonetics- A Phonology- B Language Disorders- A (pending) Speech Science- B or C (pending) Speech Science Lab (1 credit)- A (pending) Language Development- A Anatomy- B Classes Left for Fall: Clinical Methods Audiology Multicultural Communications Classes Left for Spring: Clinical Practicum Neuroscience Voice and Resonance Senior Seminar

Even if it's not considered a CSD course?

Oh wow your stats are awesome! Thank you for your reply!

Omg wow I'll definitely try the app! Thank you! I wish my GPA was higher but I have a lot of volunteer stuff/leadership experience so I'm hoping it all balances out

Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior and will begin applying to grad school this upcoming fall! I am very interested in going to SXU for grad school and was just wondering what everyone's stats were who has been accepted? I currently have a 3.5 almost a 3.6, I have not taken the GRE yet, and I have several volunteer hours at different places. I also know acceptances vary year by year, I just want to get a good idea of the GPA the school typically accepts.
