10 more schools. i know it's competitive-i'm not naive. but i have great GPAs, good GREs and great recommendations. just 1 acceptance would be nice to get soon haha...ugh hate being a downer.

welp bad news from Towson....ugh i don't know if i can handle all of this...staying positive is getting so hard to do when all i've had are rejections. this sucks.

I found out this week...i believe monday or tuesday. bummer.

Thanks for the info. I was applying for the 2 year. I heard GWU rejects a good number of applicants right off the bat, so I am sure that since you haven't heard, that is a good sign. I was really hoping for UMD and Towson, but we will see. Haven't been home to check the mail yet, so who knows what lies in the mailbox.

Ok so since this is my second year applying I applied to 15 schools(my bank account is still pisses at me) and I have been rejected by 4-Loyola, George Washington, Hofstra and James Madison. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the others since I haven't heard anything.... NYU-Im assuming a rejection since no interview request Teachers College Brooklyn college- saw an acceptance on the results page St.johns Towson- saw some result page stuff but no sure Valdosta U of central florida U of Va UNC Greensboro Southern CT state University of Maryland Cp- saw some stuff on the results page as well Just trying to figure out if I should be expecting rejections from the schools who have already notified people. And I don't know if I've made any waitlists. Any info wound be greatly appreciated to help this overwhelming anxiety.

Pawqara- completely agree! I get anxiety when im out with friends because I don't want to answer questions like, have you heard? What's ur plan b? I've been uber cranky and my bf treads lightly. I just told him today that once this is over ill be back to normal and smiling. I am obsessed with checking my phone for emails or looking at the results page on here. When my phone battery starts to deplete I panic that I won't be able to do my 5 minute updates! Pathetic.

Thanks so much for your feedback. It helps to hear from someone other than a fellow applicant.

Thank you. I appreciate that you didn't sugar coat it. I have applied to schools spanning from CT to FL. I thought about California schools but thought it was too far. I am definitely not set on staying in NY-at this point I'd move to alaska! But I get what you are saying and you make great points. Thanks for the boost!

exactly...where do you go if you can't take that next step to reach your ultimate goal. i never thought this process would beat me up as much as it has. to work so hard and it is still not good enough..completely breaks you down.

Ok, so this is my 2nd year applying to SLP master programs. Last year I only had a few pre-reqs completed and applied to 4 schools. I wasn't aware just how competitive it is. So this year, I was not going to make the same mistake. I applied to 15 schools all along the east coast(bf was not too happy!) Anyways, I have already received 4 rejections and I find myself tearing up everytime I approach the mailbox. I have 11 schools left and although I know there is still a chance, I find myself feeling as if I need a 'back up plan' and ASAP. I have a BA in Elem. Ed and two years of SLP pre-reqs. I don't want to teach-hence why I am going back to school. I'm so afraid I won't get in, and then what? Do I really subject myself to a third time around of applying?I feel embarrassed as it is with this being my second time applying. Anyone have any advice? I am 27 and feel lost. This is not how I thought my life was gonna go. What if I end up with 15 rejections after I have worked my butt off to get to this point. My stats- Pre-SLP GPA(3.84) my undergrad was 3.7(Major 3.9), GREs were average but not terrible. Any advice would be amazing. I am driving my bf and family crazy with my constant ranting and raving about grad school.
