I know they extended interviews until the end of the month, so I think we still have a couple of weeks before we will know ?
 

Hi all! Current AuD student. As more acceptances start to roll around I want to say congratulations to all. If you’ve been put on a waitlist and you’re really interested in that program reach out to the admissions coordinator and express your continued interest. If you have multiple admissions offers look at much more than just program rankings, because no matter where you graduate from if you graduate and pass the Praxis you will be a licensed audiologist. Look at clinical rotation information (when they start, if you find your own rotations, do you get help in finding externships), any special classes they may offer (tinnitus, multiple vestib courses, multiple pediatrics classes, interdisciplinary classes), if you’re interested in SAA find out about their SAA chapter, and most importantly if you are financing your own education look into tuition and if they offer graduate assistantships! You really don’t want to go into a ton of debt for your AuD and there are ways to avoid this, I highly recommend considering schools that offer funding for you or have lower tuition even if they are “ranked lower”, I know incredible audiologists who graduated from “lower ranked programs” so don’t let rankings guide your decisions. I remember the decisions process being very hard for me! Feel free to message me if you want to bounce a pros and cons list off a current AuD student! 

Just wanted to post some positivity! Be so proud of yourself wherever you are on this journey. It can be daunting and disheartening at times, but it'll all workout. Wishing everyone the best of luck as more schools start sending out decisions ?

I know Vanderbilt does interviews, not sure about UFlorida!

It was a pretty short interview! They talk to you about the school first then ask you a couple of generic questions afterwards. If you follow the ASHA website that has interview questions you should be good I don't think they asked me anything specific.
