I called Emerson to ask about enrollment deposit thing, and the guy said that he can't tell us over the phone, but the decisions will be coming out by mail.
-
If it actually says word for word 'congratulations, you're in' that is a pretty hilarious statement! hahah
That is what they should all say. Cut the paragraphs of 'thank you for considering our program blah blah blah' and just get straight to the good stuff 'YOU'RE IN!'
Well, the weird thing is that it's under the "enrollment deposit link." There's an admissions decision link that also appeared today, but it says decision isn't available yet. So I don't want to celebrate too much, just in case.
It says,
Congratulations [my name], you're in! What's next?
1) Celebrate
2) Confirm you intentions to enroll [and then it's just technical stuff about submitting the deposit and health records, etc.]
-
I have the link. Is that a good sign? OMG.
"To confirm your enrollment, a $200 Enrollment Deposit is required. Submit online by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or electronic check."
Oh, holy crap, I'M IN!!!!
(I think. When I click the link it says, "congratulations, you're in.") -
Ditto! Someone just posted on the results page that they got in and found out by clicking on the"submit your enrollment deposit" link. Does anyone know where in the world is this link??

Uh-oh, the results board shows an Emerson decision. Snail mail.
-
Seriously. And I'm guessing that since they've only gotten through half the applications, that the letters being mailed this week are all rejections.
I called a couple of my other schools that didn't use CSDCAS, and they said that applicants won't hear anything until the end of March. Looks like all program decisions are delayed this year.
Oh, geez. I want to hear back, but I don't think I can handle a third rejection in a row. (I'm considering the GWU "hold list" to be a functional rejection.) I really didn't expect it to be like this.
-
An Emerson update: someone posted on the results page that Emerson received 630 applications this year (yikes!) and have so far only gone through half of them. Letters will start going out this week sometime.
I guess I'd better get more serious about planning for life without grad school.
-
I also got waitlisted at GW
! Does anyone else who applied there mind sharing their stats? I thought I had a good chance-GPA:3.8, GRE: 1270 with research and volunteer experience. It's definitely better than rejection, but I just hate this waiting game!Pretty much the same as you. 1290, high GPA. Out of field applicant, many years of research in neuroscience (working hands-on with kids), 2 years volunteering with adults.
-
Keep your chin up! Plenty of people get off the wait-list. I hope you do. You've been accepted at one place already, and I'm sure there's more good news to come.
Alright March, give us some good news!
No, I've been rejected at one place already. Thanks, though.
-
Waitlisted at GWU. Bleh.
Thank you for your application to the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at The George Washington University. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our program. We were extremely impressed with your qualifications.
Based on the strengths of your application, you have been placed on a hold list for individuals interested in occupying available openings within in the next few months.
If there is any additional information that you wish the admissions committee to review, I encourage you to send it me at the below contact information and I’ll happily add it to your application. Additionally, you’ll be receiving future email correspondence inquiring about your interest in remaining on our hold list and I encourage you to respond if you would like to do so.
Again, thank you for taking the time to apply to our program and the admissions committee wishes you all the best in the coming months.
-
Congrats! Now you can relax.
It's finally March! I hope that everyone hears some good news soon!
Cheers for March! Let's get this show on the road!
-
Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from Boston University??
I'm guessing that all of the Jan. 15 CSDCAS programs are going to be about mid-March.
-
Called up MGH today to ask for a time line and she said, "probably not until mid-March."
If I can get the guts to call up some more programs I'll let you guys know.
-
Haven't heard a peep. Hopefully that changes soon. Out of all the schools I applied to, BU, MGH, and Emerson should be the first ones to get back to me (based on the 2010 results page, anyway). I'm doing some clinic observation time at MGH next week, so I'll see if I can find anything out then and will report back if I hear anything.
I figure if we don't hear anything by March 11 it's probably safe to call and inquire about our application status.
Oh yes, please do. I was thinking of making a polite phone call just to see if I can get any idea about what's happening.
-
Ha, I almost put in my post that I blame CSDCAS! Maybe all these delays will help them to decide NOT to use CSDCAS next year. That system is ridiculous and not efficient, for the students and the schools.
According to this thread (AuD is using it, too), at least one school got fed up and decided not to use it again. I think that's a good sign-- I hope it's a trend. http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=798165

Is it just me, or does it seem like SLP programs are taking longer to get back to folks this year?
According to 2010's results page, there was a lot more school activity this time last year.
I think it's due to CSDCAS. They didn't even mail out the applications until early this week for the people who submitted on the January 15th deadline (thank god mine went in earlier).
-
I'm going nuts here, guys! Waiting sucks!
-
Seriously. People think I'm crazy for applying to 9 programs and worrying about not being accepted to any. I wanted 12 but my advisor said no.
People don't want to hear it when I say, "I'm not a perfect applicant and it's a competitive pool. I'll be lucky to get into one."
-
It's tough. My husband and I had to deal with this. Basically, we decided we needed to take turns going to school and working.
First, he applied to a number of grad programs and I applied to jobs in the same cities. I got a good job in the same city as one of his accepted schools, so we moved across the country to go there and my job supported us while he got his degree. Now that he's finished with his degree, we're doing the same thing for me: I'm applying to a bunch of schools in certain cities that we both agreed on, and he's working on getting a job in those places.
Granted, we don't own a house yet, but it's still a difficult thing to do.
-
WWHHAaaattttttt?!?! Oh my.
Ok, so now I'm getting even more worried about things....
Same thing happened last year with Portland State. 370 applicants for about 30 openings. In addition to economy, I think a lot of it has to do with geography. The Northwest only has a few programs, so when people in that area apply, they apply mainly to just those schools. The programs in cities (Portland and Seattle) get very high numbers of applicants because they are drawing more change-of-career people who are already established in those areas.
-
I just called the number at the bottom of the email (in her signature) and asked for Rita. It took me a few times but I finally reached her directly. I think I called her closer to the end of the work day, about 330pm. Good luck reaching her!
Has anyone heard anything from BU about SSN or applications?? They are CSDCAS also, but I haven't heard ANYTHING!
Nothing from BU.
-
Just wondering if the 'UofM' you're talking about is University of Memphis?? I've applied, and I am impatiently waiting to hear back. I'm from Memphis, so it's definitely a top choice for me. If that is the school you're talking about, when did you hear?? Any info on your scores? I don't think I am a very strong candidate, but we shall see! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Nope, sorry. University of Minnesota.
-
Did you speak with her personally? I am probably being paranoid, but I don't want to give out that information over fax or email....I've tried calling but she hasn't answered and I don't feel comfortable leaving my social on voice mail. How did you send out that information?
Thanks
I just went ahead and emailed it.
-
Hi Everyone,
It's so hard waiting for admission notifications! Best of luck to everyone here though! For all those that applied to MGH, did you get an email from Rika Judd asking for more your social security so that they can process FAFSA (since that info is unavailable to them through CSDCAS)?
Thanks!
Yep. I got something similar from Rush, too.
Should I tell them about my accepted article?

I'd ask if you can send in an updated CV that reflects your newly accepted article.
