That's very interesting, thank you for your feedback! The schedule doesn't seem too bad, though I imagine some would have to leave pretty early to ensure they're in with enough time to make it to the 9am blocks. Are there multiple sections for each class, in that case? I'm glad to hear you get one day a week off though! That's a good point, I wasn't too sure. I've spoken to a CF who mentioned that people in her cohort had gotten offered scholarships that helped them pay a good portion of their tuition though. I'll make sure to keep that in mind though, as I was unsure if that was something that would have been sent already or if that was typically after officially accepting. Thank you for all of your help! How has the transition online been by the way, has it impacted your clinical hours and how placements will work for your cohort?

I applied to eight schools! So far: Two rejections, one pending rejection (since I wasn't interviewed), one waitlist, three acceptances (thankfully two of them were my top choices), and one pending interview. My suggestion would be to look into the programs and what their focus is, along with any groups or specializations they offer. If you know what your area of interest is (especially if it coincides with the program or a specific faculty member in their program), speak to that and why your experiences and their program would help you become a successful clinician. I noticed that the programs I was accepted to were the ones where I articulated that the most clearly. Looking back, I would save money and only apply to programs that I truly wanted to attend, rather than letting the anxiety lead to to applying to some schools I wasn't as interested in.

That is amazing to hear, and congratulations as well! I'd also like to apologize for how late this is! Are you in the Extended Masters program, or the two year program? The diversity is definitely a plus for me, and my main concern regarding it all is likely the commute since I'll be coming from the east bay. At what times have your classes been, out of curiosity? My final question is about funding, actually: I saw on ASHA EdFind that SJSU gave 29 funding offers last year, and was curious if those came with the initial offer or if the offers of funding were something that came in after accepting the offer?

Thank you for your feedback! SDSU sounds like an amazing program, and I'm glad to hear that everyone you've spoken to has had good experiences there as well. Congratulations on CSULB as well, I remember seeing you post about their program in the past so I'm really excited for you!

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some advice. I was recently accepted to SJSU and SFSU, and am debating between the two programs. I'm interested in the aac grants/specializations both programs provide, but beyond that I'm not very familiar with the programs. Would anyone be able to give me insight into what the situation is at either of these schools for clinical placements, supervisors, and the competitiveness of grants?
