Congratulations to everyone for being accepted! I'm a newbie and just from reading this thread it seems that we have a bright group of future SLPs! I was one of the few that did not make the cut. I applied to four schools, all close to home. I was rejected from two and waitlisted at the others. It's disheartening, but I don't intend to give up! I have a good GPA (3.67) and broke 1000 on the GREs, I just didn't stand a chance with hundreds of other applicants. I'll be shadowing an SLP and working at a skilled nursing facility in dietary this summer and fall, and I plan on reapplying to a few schools that offer spring admission. I was reading and I haven't seen this mentioned, so I thought I would ask - what about distance education programs? I know that Nova offers one and ASHA lists a few others, but it seems like you have to reside in that state to be in their programs. I'd like to stay close to home, so if I don't get into a physical program I'd like to at least apply to two or three distance ed programs. Can anyone recommend some that you've heard good things about? Once again, congrats on getting in and best of luck this fall!
