  1. Is anyone attending the open house at Hunter College tonight? I'm so excited to meet everyone!
  2. I still haven't heard from Long Island University-Brooklyn. I assume I've been rejected, but it would be nice to have been notified! I e-mailed them weeks ago asking for an update, but they simply sent a reply confirming acceptance of my application. I've accepted elsewhere and am happy with my choice, but it's just extremely odd.
  3. I really think it depends on your program, so I would check with them to make sure you will receive credit for it.
  4. Hi! I have a friend who was in your exact position last year. I will message you about her.
  5. NYC is great. Don't worry, you'll be fine. The subway runs 24/7 here, so even if you can't live on campus something will work out.
  6. Thanks! I know that my university counts oceanography as a physical science, but I would check with your program. "Physical science (3 credits) - examples are chemistry, physics, earth science, oceanography, geology, astronomy, weather " ASHA is a bit vague on what counts and leaves it up to programs to decide: "What courses are acceptable in those four areas? Individual graduate programs will determine which courses are acceptable in biological science, physical science, mathematics, and social/behavioral sciences. The CFCC believes that the individual graduate programs are best equipped to make the assessment as to whether or not specific courses will best serve as providing appropriate and adequate pre-requisite skills and knowledge. A list of courses that might be accepted to satisfy the prerequisite requirement can be found in Standard III-A of the speech-language pathology standards." http://www.asha.org/certification/2005_SLP_FAQ.htm
  7. There's also La Salle University, which offers online classes. You don't have to find a proctor for your exams, but the courses aren't as cheap as Utah. Anyone have any idea where to take a physical sciences class online? I need that for ASHA.
  8. Well, at least living expenses in NYC aren't high. Oh, wait. $#&*#$@j43jkl3kl43*($#@)*$#@
  9. Congratulations! I think you're making the right decision by going with your gut. This will be at least 2 years of each of our lives, so it's essential to be somewhere you feel comfortable. Boston's a great place to be a student, too!
  10. Well definitely apply if you choose TC! I don't like the thought of committing to 8 more years (including graduate school) in NYC, but on the other hand it would be nice to have a guaranteed job. I was accepted to Adelphi, Hunter, and TC. I was wait-ilisted at NYU. I haven't made my decision yet, so I'm trying to find out as much as possible before I do so.
  11. What do you mean "waive my tuition?" Are you talking about the BOE scholarship? If so, keep in mind that those are very difficult to get, so do not go to TC if you're depending on that scholarship. My friend got one for OT, but I've heard that they've become rarer for SLPs, especially with the budget crisis that is affecting New York state (and everywhere, obviously). I was thinking about the BOE scholarship, too, but like you, I don't want to be required to live in NYC for ages. I love it here, but life happens, and I may want to/need to move after school. I have a friend who went to a CUNY for SLP, and now she's living in Portland, Oregon working in a school and very happy with her life. She said that nobody cared that they didn't know much about the school she went for her master's degree. Wherever you go will be ASHA-certified and will give you numerous internships to put on your CV, and that is what matters the most. Oh, and of course your quality of life and happiness matters the most! Personally I would go to IU! Have you ever seen Breaking Away? Rent it immediately. It seems like a wonderful place to be a student!
  12. 26 is young! I'm 31! Believe me, I wish I had been able to start down this road earlier, but I'm not going to let my age (and really, 31 is not old) get in my way. Neither should you!
  13. Are you able to attend any of the events for admitted students? I'm attending one in NYC, although I'm 90% sure I will be going elsewhere. I don't understand TC's status as an "affiliate" of Columbia, and today I discovered that TC doesn't even share Columbia University's endowment, which seems ridiculous. I don't know of other Ivy League education schools that seem to have such a tenuous relationship to the university as a whole.
  14. Thanks, Tayfray. I didn't have to use CSDCAS, and everything I have heard about it this year makes me realize how lucky I was. My boyfriend's college didn't have grades, either. So when he applied to grad school he had to send each school a huge packet of all his professors' reports. What a nightmare!
  15. Vent away. This process is a very difficult one. It is hard to see yourself reduced to a a GPA or a GRE score, when that is antithetical to everything I believe should happen in education. I hope they respond to your query with some constructive comments/explanations! Oh to be a fly on the wall of the admissions offices of these schools . . .
