Does anyone have recommendations for coloring books that focus on the anatomy for SLP? I can't seem to find any specific to SLP. Someone should invent that lol. Any general anatomy books that have a good section on speech anatomy areas? Thank you!

Thank you! Definitely some good tips!

Does anyone have any tips or references to stop procrastinating? I start grad school in the Fall and really need to improve my habits. I have always gotten great grades but I always wait until the last minute to do anything for school. I know how much more stressful I make things for myself by waiting but I still can't bring myself to do things until I absolutely have no choice to wait any longer. I hate being like this and know this is not going to help me do well in grad school. It should be as simple as me knowing I have to do it and just forcing myself to do it but it's hard. I feel ridiculous and want to change. Any advice is appreciated thanks!

Wow thanks for writing this! I actually committed to Monmouth and was accepted off the waitlist at Stockton and chose to go to Stockton instead. I hope Stockton gives me a better experience than you had. I'm sorry it wasn't how it should have been.

Just thought I would share here that Stockton University in NJ reopened their application for the Fall. The new deadline is June 30th, (verified by then). I saw this on their website.

I applied to 6, every school in NJ where I live. I think that's a decent number.

No matter what school you go to you will become an SLP. You could take a gap year if you want but that's another year before becoming an SLP. When it comes down to it its only 2(ish?) years of your life and you can get through it. What is it that you don't like about UWM? When you are paying your students loans back you'll probably thank yourself that you did not go to the super expensive school. You cannot change the past don't dwell on it. You got into 2 schools which is 2 more than a lot of people! Be proud of yourself. Try to focus on pros of UWM and not cons. Good luck in whatever you do I know this is a stressful, difficult time for us all.

I committed to Monmouth but now I got off the waitlist for Stockton and idk what to do lol. Anyone with any knowledge of these schools feel free to share please! Pros, cons etc. Help!

Thanks for the insight! I didn't know all that.

I didn't realize there was a quote option so my response is below!

Today I got rejected from Kean so unfortunately that ship has sailed. I also liked the variety and amount of electives. I went there for undergrad (minored in speech) and the professors I encountered seemed knowledgeable as well as the ones I met at my interview. Length of program is also a factor for me. While I like Montclair's program I don't like how long it is. I'm not sure how I feel about William Paterson's program and unfortunately for them I would have to take 2 additional pre reqs, which I'm assuming means I could not start grad classes in the Fall. That then makes that program 6 or 7 seven semesters for me (going off of their website saying students with all pre reqs complete the program in 5 or 6 semesters). I like Kean and Stockton's locations because I live right in the middle making my commute an hour one way for either school, and the rest of them except Monmouth are even farther away which is a downside. Monmouth is 35 minutes away which is a positive and the program ends in the spring rather than the fall like Montclair and potentially William Paterson for me, shaving 6 months off of the time until I graduate. Price has always been important to me but I was willing to spend a little more if I got into Kean because I liked the program more than others, except Stockton which I feel is a great program too. The drive to Stockton is also easier than commuting north. I'm really hoping to get off the waitlist for Stockton but as of now I think I'll commit to Monmouth. It is more expensive which really makes me cringe BUT I would finish a lot earlier and could start earning SLP money potentially 6 months earlier which could help offset that price difference. I will be living with my parents until I am done and I'm ready to get out but can't due to financial reasons and a longer program is not ideal for that reason. Seton Hall seems like a great program but there is no clinic on campus and the $$$ is ridiculous and can't be justified. At least for Monmouth I have less of a commute and get a shorter program than some others. If I get off the wait list for Stockton I would definitely go there for the cheaper tuition and the fact that it's only 5 semesters and the commute is not as bad as others. I like their electives too but they're not as extensive as Kean's. Monmouth's program does not have electives but seems very comprehensive. A graduate assistantship would seriously be a dream come true but I have to go into it expecting to pay for it all myself. Monmouth is likely the best choice for me as of now but thinking of the loans I'll have to take out and the interest I'll have to pay on them gets me upset. Really hoping for Stockton to come through but We'll see. Writing this huge paragraph definitely helped me organize my thoughts and be more sure about my decisions so thanks for asking!

I got accepted to Montclair, Monmouth, Seton Hall and William Paterson. Waitlisted at Stockton and have not heard back from Kean yet. Of course Stockton and Kean are my two top choices. Does anyone have any pros or cons of any NJ program they would like to share? I am having such a hard time choosing where to put a deposit down if everything is the same on April 15th.
