Hi there! I don't know if you'll receive this message or not, but I thought I'd try! I was accepted at Northeastern for Fall 2012, and am trying, through Utah State, to complete all five pre-reqs this summer. However, I haven't been able to find 5 classes through just this program that work. I would have to take 7 to really fulfill all the requirements. Did you find all five classes through Utah State this time last year?

Oh you are exactly right I just don't have time to take the two classes in addition to the four others I'll be taking, so I'm looking for one course that covers both. Thanks for your help!

That's exactly what I thought! However, when I sent the syllabus, the program director said it didn't satisfy the anatomy of hearing requirement. Would it be out of place to send her that portion of the syllabus? My first instinct is that that's rude, but it does seem to cover anatomy of hearing, especially in addition to the audiology course I'd be taking! I just do not know.

I don't want to worry you! I'm sure you'll be fine. I was an English and Linguistics major, so I don't have the second bachelors like you. I am sure you'll be completely fine! Did your acceptance letter say you were "conditionally" accepted? That's what mine said because of the five classes. I emailed the program director with what I thought would be the five classes from USU that would satisfy all requirements, and she responded and said the Anatomy of Speech and Language class I'd be taking doesn't satisfy the Anatomy of Hearing Requirement. It seems a little to me like the five pre-req requirements might be a little more like seven pre-req requirements, but I'm still on the search for one class that satisfies both requirements! Have you sent in your deposit yet? It's a big chunk of change. I'll have to do some major researching in the next couple days to see if I can start in the Fall. If I can't, I might accept a different offer :/

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to plan out my course-work for this summer (5 classes, ah!). Utah State offers three of the classes I need through the distance program, so I really only have room to take two more classes. Thus, my complicated question: Does anyone know of a distance program that offers one class covering the material for Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech and Hearing Mechanism? Similarly, anyone know of a program that offers one class covering material for Introduction to Speech and Hearing Science? I keep running into the same problem-- I'll find a class, through Utah State's Program for instance, that offers an Anatomy of Speech class, but my program director wants it to cover BOTH anatomy of speech and hearing. Do classes like that exist? I haven't been able to find any. Usually they are split into two classes, and it's just not feasible for me to take 6 or 7 classes this summer. It would be such a bummer to have to defer for a full year because of a couple of credits Thanks for the help!

I should say she just told me I was on the alternate list, and my decision hasn't been made on the application page. So, I just jumped to the conclusion that that was the case for everyone. Maybe I'm wrong! I don't want to be spamming everyone with false info

I checked the application page about a week ago and the letter was there. Maybe you should email? I've seen both acceptances and rejections already! So maybe it's a good thing you haven't heard. No news is sometimes good news. Good luck!

Hello future SLPs! I've been following this thread for a while, and now it's time for an actual question. I was recently accepted to Northeastern, which I visited a month or so ago and loved (they have the nicest facilities and it seemed like a great, close-knit program). I'm an out-of-major applicant, and Northeastern has only 5 pre-reqs. I graduated with a degree in English and Linguistics, and much of my linguistics courses related to the arena of speech pathology. I've also worked in research labs for the Speech-language department at the University of Arizona, and I've shadowed and aided some speech-pathologists. So, the field isn't completely foreign to me at all. With that being said, I don't think I'd be uncomfortable starting the two year program in the Fall. However, are five pre-reqs even feasible to complete this summer? Does anyone have any recommendations on programs? I live in Atlanta now, and I don't think I'd mind doing online (although this wouldn't be my first choice). I hope everyone is fairing well during this process. It really is difficult! My boyfriend and my parents probably wish it were over with more than I do. Also (one last thing!), I emailed Cindy Coy at Northwestern, and if your application decision hasn't been made on your status page, you are most likely on the alternate list and will hear by April 20th. More waiting! Hooray!! Good luck everyone and I hope you're taking deep breaths every day
