@splang29 I am really embarrassed to share my stats, but here they are: Major GPA- 3.09 ?‍♀️, Pre-req GPA: 4.0 (I took 15 credits worth, but I may have to take more since NYU's requirements are a bit different than other schools I applied to). I didn't take the GRE so I don't have those stats. I studied for 4 months for the test, paid to take it and showed up to the center but it got cancelled due to COVID and I wasn't notified. I tried taking it online and I didn't have the right equipment, and finally they waived the GRE so I just decided to get my money back. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much. I know this is coming from someone who stressed out a ton because I didn't think I would get anywhere because of my overall GPA, but I really do think that they look at the application more holistically. For example, I have a lot of relevant experience working as a research assistant, shadowing various SLPs, working with children with developmental delays, etc. I didn't read my letters of rec, but the people who wrote them for me are stellar and trustworthy. Oh, and I have been in contact with the admissions specialist since a year ago, and I think they record the instances in which they have been in contact with you, which shows that you are interested and committed. Anyway, to answer your question, I applied a few days before their priority deadline. I got an email with my acceptance letter, no phone call, just a follow up phone call to make sure I received the email. Let me know when you hear back from them, whether you get in or not.

Hi guys! I just got admitted to Speech@NYU for the September 2020 cohort, and am waiting to hear back from Emerson. If I get admitted into Emerson, I will choose that over NYU because of the cost. However, I am still open to hearing about students experiences with NYU. I have heard great things about the support system and faculty but haven't heard enough that really differentiates it from Emerson. For NYU, I will have to take a couple more pre-reqs, so I will take more time to graduate. Also, with Emerson, it will take 20 months, meaning I can graduate sooner. Anyone have any thoughts? I reached out to recent graduates and will hopefully hear from them soon.

Hi there! I applied just before the priority deadline and have yet to hear back. I told them I received a "yes" from another school and that I need to respond to them ASAP. I'm not sure if it will speed up the process much, but I emailed my admissions counselor about my dilemma and she thanked me for informing her about it.
