    What makes IU your top choice Body_AuD_AuD other than 3 years? I do not have a CSD background so just wonder what are the factors you are considering. Thank you!

    The class sizes are really small. I think this past cohort only had like 9/10 people. They also just built a brand new hospital and health science building in Bloomington which is where we get to take all of our classes. Everything brand new and we share the building with nursing, med, and  SLP so it’s all grad students in this building. IU also doesn’t do a capstone in their program so instead we get lots of hands-on clinical hours. It’s just a great program and everyone is so kind and ready to help. The cohort ahead of us is really great and we get to take some classes with them. It’s also close-ish to home. I’m from Toronto so as an international student it helps that it’s not too far!

    I am a newbie to the forum, and really love to see more information exchange here (appreciate all!). I am admitted to NOAC, CUNY, UF and Bloomsburg, and am still anxiously waiting for IU, which is my first choice. I only see one person reporting "waitlisted" for IU on the self-reporting page on GradCafe. I read from other posts from OP that (s)he was admitted last year, but deferred for one year. Is there anyone admitted to IU this year? Thanks!

    I was accepted last year and have accepted by deferred offer for this year :) I’m not sure how many spots were offered or who has committed yet. But I believe the deadline is coming up soon in April so people will likely be coming off the waitlist soon if people decline. You have some great offers if not IU! But good luck, keep us posted!

    Pacific University decision came... Waitlisted again tier 2 again. Hoping the outcome is different this time. 

    Yeah, pacific is a tough one. I was Waitlisted last year on tier 1 and never got off. It’s different every year though. There are years where they go through tier 2. Good luck!!!!

    I applied to IU as well! Just waiting to hear back from them (fingers crossed!) I tried to email them to ask if there was an interview process but no one got back to me. What was the process like for you? Was there an interview or did you just get a letter of acceptance? 

    There was no interview process! I found out the first week of march via E-mail :) good luck!!!!

    Hey!

    i actually applied last year and got into a few schools. Ultimately I chose Indiana but I couldn’t afford to attend last year because I’m coming from Canada and the exchange rate is insane so I had to defer. Anyways, I figured it out financially and I’ll be starting at IU in August! If anyone has questions about the process let me know! Definitely a stressful wait! Good luck, let me know if you’re applying to IU :)

    I love this!!! You said you chose Indiana, right? How’d you choose (if that’s not too personal to ask)?

    Yes! Not too personal! It’s an accelerated program, since I have a lot of experience and I’m 27, I’m ready to get the show on the road! It’s also only an 8 hour drive from home, and I really connected with the person I was communicating with from the beginning of the application season. Very friendly and warm! So it just felt right. :)

    Question for everyone who is comfortable answering:

    What makes you interested in being an audiologist? I’m interested in hearing all of the different answers! We all have this in common :) 

    I did my undergrad in speech and Language and fell in love with the audiology classes we had to take. Then I did a post grad in Communicative Disorders and was placed on externship in 2 big hospitals in Toronto where I got to see Cochlear implant surgeries and watch them subsequently hear for the first time in follow up visits. I was HOOKED!!! I’ve been working in a hearing clinic for 2 years now doing audiometric testing for ENTs and applied to a Canadian program last year which is really competitive and screens at grades before even looking at experience, and I was rejected. There are only 3 English programs in all of Canada so it’s very tough to get in. I’m just ready to become a audiologist now so I’m excited to have the opportunity to go to a US program!

    Do you have to be interviewed in order to be placed on a school's waitlist (for a program that does do interviews)? Or, hypothetically, would you be able to be placed on their waitlist without an interview? Or how does that process work?

    I think it’s dependant on the specific program. I was waitlisted at a school and then Waitlisted applicants had to do an interview once on the waitlist. I think other schools are different, where you are likely rejected if you don’t receive an invite for an interview. But, again, I believe it’s different from school to school.

    Does anyone have any advice/thoughts about leaving your home state to go to grad school (besides tuition purposes)? The school I'm at right now is 4 hours away from home, but I'm still only a drive away from visiting my family. I am super close to my parents and siblings and am having a loooottttt of anxiety about possibly going somewhere where I'll have to get on a plane to visit home. I have the option to stay at the school I'm currently at, but I feel like I wont grow there and the only reason I would stay is because I'm ~comfortable.~ ANY words of wisdom/advice/reassurance would be amazing because I am struggling

    I hear you and its totally valid to want to stay close to home because that's where your support system is. I'm Canadian and applying only to American schools because, as great as our programs are here, I wanted the opportunity to explore and escape my comfort zone. I think the best way to grow and truly focus on your future is to put yourself in that position. HOWEVER...money is a thing forsure..and it isn't cheap to got to grad school. There are definitely financial pros to staying near home. You need to decide based on your own situation, all I can say is that you only live this life once! Do what feels right for you. Do a gut check. What feels right? :) hope that helps!
