Hi! Are you by chance going to UCF? I ask because we don't have clinicals the first semester and I saw a similar graduate assistantship recently come available. I just finished my first semester at UCF this summer (online due to COVID) if you have any questions

Just declined CU Boulder

Just declined University of South Florida! Sad but it's the best decision with everything going on right now.

Hi everyone! Has anyone accepted their offer to UCFs Summer 2020 cohort? I accepted my offer but haven't seen a lot of people talking about it and I don't see a facebook group yet! I know this sounds silly but I'm so paranoid that it will be cancelled due to covid-19.

Hi! I went to UCF for undergrad and was accepted to their summer 2020 program! I had a 3.89 CSD GPA and a GRE of 306/4.00. Based on my experience, I feel like they like to see volunteering/unique experiences. I studied abroad in Korea for 6 months and related my second language learning back to speech pathology. I also volunteered at UCF's aphasia house, a language learning class for adult learners, UCF's CSD clinic, and a program for elderly individuals with dementia. I also shadowed an SLP once a week for a semester. In my essay I focused on how upholding ASHA's code of ethics would impact my career. Also, I heard from one of the professors on the admissions team that she needs to be hooked on the first sentence and it needs to stand out from the rest. My first sentence was "I first decided to become a Speech-Language Pathologist in Seoul, South Korea, while I was sitting in a coffee shop studying the Korean alphabet." Not sure if that sentence helped me get into the program but I felt like it was creative without sounding like an opener to an undergrad admissions essay. I hope this was helpful!

Hi! I see that you made your decision already but did you ever try calling Boulder? I've seen a few people decline and I'm curious if my spot went up too. lol

I’m 19, so you’re doing better than me lol!!! I feel like the list is probably about 20-25 people but congrats to you too!!! this is a tough program?

I was waitlisted too, hopefully they let us know soon. I'm sorta low on the waitlist so I probably won't get in but we will see! Good luck!

Hi! I think it really just depends on the program, which is really frustrating! I wish every program just had a decision day that everyone went onto the school portal to check the status.. the waiting is killer!

Hi guys! I’m freaking out because I’ve seen a few people have received decisions from USF and I’m still waiting on an email. Do you know if they accept people in waves and, if so, when did you guys apply?? Thanks!!!

I'm getting so nervous. I applied for USF and I see a couple of people were accepted but I haven't gotten an email yet. Hopefully I hear back this week

Hey! I got my undergrad at UCF and applied for summer also! I just heard back from FSU’s distance program and was accepted! I also applied for USF and a few out of state. Good luck for UCF! We may turn out to be in the same cohort!!

I went to a couple info sessions for my schools and they said that that class was fine! But, maybe it is better to check your schools individually! Hope this helps, good luck!

I took the same class, Conceptual Physics, also at a community college and its fine!! No worries

Hi! Mine updated pretty quickly as soon as my transcripts were delivered. I believe you can submit it and it just wont verify your new grades until everything is in!
