    Hi! I'm headed to U of A in the fall to start a 3 year Master's program.

    Anyone figured out housing yet? I know I'm kind of late on this, but I've been trying to look at apartments and other housing options online.

    Excited to go to Tucson! :)

    I'm sorry :/

    Good luck with the rest of your decisions. Hopefully what is meant to be will happen for all of us.

    Thank you, AudioEnvy. I wish you the best of luck as well! I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. Even if it is not what we had originally wanted or planned for, it will all work out. :)

    Sorry to hear about Boulder :( I can't stop refreshing my email today (or yesterday) and with every passing second, I feel my chances of acceptance slipping out of my grasp. I'm not sure how they staggered acceptances/rejections, but it seemed like yesterday was all about acceptances. What's even more confusing for me is that letter they sent a month ago from the committee chair stating I was a "top applicant". I don't know how many people received that and were accepted, but I've been clinging to every ounce of hope I have because of that stupid letter. I will be pretty disappointed if I'm flat out rejected. I wouldn't have been, but that dang letter just had to be sent.

    Got my rejection about 2 minutes after I made this post. Heartbroken as well.

    I'm sorry, Theasaurus! :( This whole application process was such a rollercoaster of emotions! The admissions process is always going to be kind of a mystery to me. You never really know where you're going to get in and there are just so many people applying now! Boulder said they had over 500 applicants. CRAZY!

    Although I'm still pretty bummed, I know that it'll work out no matter what. Being rejected from somewhere that I had had so much hope for (I have family in Boulder and just love the city) has given me the chance to consider places that I had never really thought too much about before.

    Best of luck to you!

    Sorry ukulele11. Hope the next news you get is good news... you too, Theasaurus. :(

    Thanks, WannabeSLP! You too! :)

    Got the letter from CU Boulder about an hour ago, I can't believe I got in! I had basically given up completely and was kicking myself for only applying to 3 (very, very competitive) programs, so I had a laughing/crying moment at work when I got the email. Now to decide if I can afford to fly out for the open house on April 6th... It's really silly, I was actually in Boulder on Friday for a few hours during a spring break road trip, and not letting myself think about the possibility that I might get to live there. So excited for Colorado!

    Congrats! :D Boulder is an amazing place!

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Boulder, too. Been checking my email on and off all day. Argh! haha

    I would contact Gabrielle in the department. When I got into the post bacc program I found out in March/April. The program starts in June so it makes no sense that they wouldn't tell you until then. But I also never got the original "you're in" email and didn't find out I was accepted until the second "we really need to know" email. Email or call Gabby to ask if decisions have been made and if not when you can expect them.

    Did you attend UW for postbac? How did you like it?

    Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to email Gabrielle to see if I can get some clarification and hopefully know the decision sooner. :)

    That said, I have to laugh, because if this thread shows anything, it's that there really isn't anything that can "Make you feel better" except an acceptance. I feel somewhat bad about people having to deal with our insanity because I'm well aware how sensitve grad applicants can get to anything. For awhile there people asking "hey how's it going, anything new?" was making me twitchy. I half expected to cut a b@#$ for saying hello. :D

    Oh yeah, I'm definitely guilty of being overly sensitive lately! haha

    Hopefully we'll all get some good news soon so that we can finally be sane again! After putting up with all of our insanity, our friends and families might be more grateful that this whole process is over than we will be! :)

    "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get into a lot of places!"

    Then when I express my fear that I won't get in anywhere...

    "You have transferable skills and good experience, so I'm sure you'll still be able to get a good job."

    Not really making me feel any better. The reason I applied to grad school was because I don't want to work the sort of job that I have been doing. These 'transferable skills' would be helpful if I wanted to stay in my current realm of work.

    I know people are just trying to be supportive and positive, but I'm having a hard time with these comments.

    Hi everyone,

    Waiting for decisions is excruciating... so far I've only heard back from two schools and they both put me on the waitlist (UMN Twin Cities and GWU). GAH!

    Is anyone else on the waitlist for a school sending any additional letters/emails/other info to the schools where you were waitlisted? I'm trying to decide if this is a good idea. I have already responded, letting the schools know that I am still very interested in the program and to keep me on the list, but I don't really have much else to say. I am currently working at an internship, but what I do is not related to SLP. I am seeking out opportunities to shadow speech pathologists in the area to hopefully get a start on some of my clinical observation hours.

    Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance! :)
