Even if it's not considered a CSD course?

^ Yes, I forgot about that. ASL will be factored in your CSD GPA if you have taken it.

I got accepted off the waitlist today and I am super excited! This was my first choice school and I will be accepting  

 

Were you accepted to other programs or waitlisted to any other programs?

[CSD GPA question]

Yes. They’ll have a category gpa for practically every subject. But comd will only consist of your communication disorders classes.

@speechieontherun I’m not asking that you sugarcoat it. I’m asking that you don’t comment at all if you are unable to support other students. There is a difference between being realistic and being cruel. Please get off grad cafe.

I'm not being cruel at all.

April 15th is coming up, and I'm informing her to not hedge her bets on a school that didn't interview her. There's a 99% chance that Chapman isn't going to reply to her in time so she's going to need to her deposit down for the school that already accepted her, and it would be a shame that she lose her slot waiting on something that is very unlikely to happen.

There is more than one way to provide support.

@speechieontherun the way you commented on posts is not supportive of other students. If you don’t mind me asking, have you received admission to a graduate program this fall? Because whether you have or have not, this is not an environment of disencouragement.

It's the reality, people are hoping for a miracle that isn't going to happen.

Whether or not they want to accept the truth, that's on them. But I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say "Don't worry! I'm sure there's a chance you'll get a waitlist!" When there's no chance of it happening.

[Asking to be taken out after accepting offer?]

Just rescind your offer, there won't be any hard feelings. They'll fill up your spot with someone else. The earlier you do it, the better so that they can prepare appropriately. (I rescinded offers from schools, so I speak from experience.)

Some of the confusion may be that last year on April 1st someone reported on the results page that they were waitlisted without an interview.

Oh, I see. I don't always believe what's on those boards, so I rarely look at them.

My apologies then.

Yes I’m expecting that, but I don’t want to accept to EWU before I know for certain. 

You weren't offered an interview, people who were interviewed are on the waitlist. Why would you think that you would be offered a waitlist spot or admission without an interview?

I can't believe their waiting so long, I just want my answer!

I can answer for them, and you know the answer deep inside as well - you've been denied admission.

HI everyone,

I am in my 3rd round of applications and i already have been rejected from my top school and waitlisted at another. I am still waiting to hear from 1 more school and still working on applying to a couple of more schools this round. I was talking to some family members who were asking why is it so hard to get accepted.  I know a big part of my answer was because I have a low gpa from my bachelors degree, 2.7. I have worked really hard to raise my last 60 hours gpa to a still low 3.4 but I worked hard for it.  I have retaken 2 speech courses that I initially recieved C's in and have also taken classes that are not required in the state of Texas to have a SLP assistance license. Oh and I have 4 years of experience as a speech assistance in schools.  My question to all you wonderful speechies is  if this is what is keeping me from being accepted. Is my low undergraduate gpa like a sore thumb sticking out?  I have looked in to getting a second bachelors from ENMU in communication disorders and I believe I only need 3 more courses to achieve it.  Will this help me become a better applicant? What do you guys think?

You seem to already know that your undergrad gpa is low. Many schools have a hard 3.0 cutoff to have you application looked at. I'm sorry to say, but looking at the other schools you applied to, it is not looking good for you. 3 cycles = approximately 3 years, have you considered anything else career wise?
