  1. I had 2 or 3 C's on my transcript, but all A's in my CSD courses. Also, I'm a "nontraditional student" so my C's were from 2009-2013. My CSD courses were from 2017-2019. I got into 5/7 schools I applied to and waitlisted at 2/7. Hope this helps!
  2. University of Central Florida and Nova Southeastern University have fall, spring, and summer entry.
  3. Hi Mikaela, I believe Maryville in St. Louis is also pre-accreditation. If you think it's your GRE scores that are holding you back, I would say apply to schools that don't require the GRE. I know that Nova Southeastern= and Florida International do not require it.
  4. I wasn’t trying to say that big city schools are the only ones with rich research opportunities, I just meant I’d rather live in a city than a rural area. I meant to highlight that the cheaper options I have for school are not the ones with rich research opportunities. (Unrelated to rural vs city topic) The cost difference is significant though: $60-80k vs. $40k (honestly all of which are not comfortable numbers)...
  5. I feel like I’m in a somewhat similar situation as you — considering UMASS highly but I definitely prefer the city to the Amherst size community. It also seems like the better financial options do not equate to the rich research experiences at other universities. Also, I’ve been sort of a nomad so it appears I have no in state tuition benefits anywhere... Honestly, I didn’t even apply to MGH or BU because of the cost—they were both significantly higher than any other program. My offers are at UMASS, Temple, SLU, USF, FIU and still waiting on the waitlist at UW. I was feeling confident that going to the school that is the cheapest was the best option, especially since I do still have loans from undergrad. Going to the cheapest option is just about what every SLP has told me—but perhaps I’m talking to people with different goals than my own. However, the two more expensive offers seem to have more of what I’m looking at: bilingual opportunities including a clinical experience abroad and aphasia research & lab. I am now second guessing myself and thinking it would be a huge mistake to choose somewhere that doesn’t have the rich research component I’m looking for. I am interested in a thesis and want to possibly get my PhD as well. I want to be in an aphasia research lab and look at fMRIs and be apart of more hands on research rather then surveys and questionnaires... Do I compromise for now and take the lower cost with more questionable opportunities for research? Or do I put myself into a hole of debt for more likely or guaranteed research opportunities? (Also have a GA offer for about $12k in tuition and $10k in stipend. Potential offer to be fully funded at another university. Potential opportunities for funding year 2 at a couple places with no year 1 funding offers. Potential that if someone doesn’t accept their offer at Temple that I may be offered a $10k scholarship there)
  6. I would love to hear more about SLU! Anybody?
  7. Hello! Temple is my top choice at the moment however I'm waiting to hear back on a scholarship from them and in the meantime another university offered me a GA position. The financial component is really important for me, however Temple has pretty much everything I'm looking for: bilingual opportunities, research, Aphasia lab, service-learning trip to spanish speaking country, ability to do a more medical focused track... Other things to consider is that I currently live in the city of the program that offered me the GA position so I'd have to make the move to Philly and potentially be long distance with my husband for some time. If given the scholarship at Temple, even though it would amount to less than the GA position is offering me I am thinking Temple. Any advice?
  8. I definitely submitted everything on the day of the deadline probably 5 minutes before their 5:00pm cutoff haha
  9. I heard back a couple of weeks ago from UMASS, maybe check in with admissions?
