  1. Hi all, I just finished a rough draft of my SOP and I'd really love it if someone could tell me what they think. Input from all fields is appreciated! Thanks!
  2. I've been going to this website: https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplicantLogin/fl_ApplicantLogin.asp?id=unc-ch . I think the decision would be under messages.
  3. Thanks guys! I thought I was being a little paranoid but I just wanted to be sure!
  4. I worked alongside a speech pathologist for a year and before I moved, she wrote me a letter of recommendation for my psychology masters program. I took a few classes and decided to switch to speech pathology and she mentioned that she would use the old letter and tailor it to the new schools for me (This was back in August). Now I'm sending in my apps and I can't get a hold of her. The first time, I called her and left a message. She didn't respond so I called again a week later and her mailbox was full. I emailed her assistant, who said that she would let her know that I was trying to get in touch with her. Still no answer. 3 days later, I emailed the assistant again, apologizing profusely but telling her that I knew the holidays were coming up and I needed to ask someone else if the SLP couldn't do it. No response. I know this is a busy time for both of them. The letter is already done (I have a copy of it sitting at home on my dresser!) and it's a really good one. I don't want to ask anyone else if I don't have to since she knew me so well but I'm starting to think I might have to ask one of my online teachers. I feel like I'm probably harassing her right now since it's only been two weeks but one of my apps won't let me notify my recommenders until I've actually turned it in (which means I'd have to put her down without being sure she could do it). All of my other apps are done and the other two recommenders have sent in their letters, which means that they're just waiting on this last one. Do you think I should just wait or ask someone else? The deadlines aren't until the beginning of January and February. Thanks!
  5. Another letter of recommendation question! I graduated from college in 2010 and have been working since then. I've been taking pre-req classes online since the beginning of this year. One of my letters will come from an undergrad professor (that one will be the best) and another will come from one of my online professors. The last will either come from an SLP I worked with when I was a teacher assistant at a school for autism or a supervisor at the center where I volunteer teaching English to ESL kids. The one from the SLP will probably focus on autism but I'm really interested in multicultural populations. The problem is, I've known the SLP for more than a year and I've only volunteered with the ESL kids for a few months. The SLP's letter is a really good one but I'm wondering if it could hurt my application since it doesn't focus on anything multicultural. What do you think? Thanks and good luck to everyone!
  6. Hi, I just finished writing my SoP and I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what they think about it. PM me if you're willing! Thanks!
  7. Yeah I probably will but I can't seem to find any schools that really interest me. Also, I know it shouldn't matter but location is important to me. I've lived in NYC, Albany (NY), Raleigh (NC), Fort Lauderdale and other parts of south Florida, Scottsdale, and Tucson (AZ) so I really want to be close to a place that I want to settle in. I'm not one of those people who needs to see what's out there because I pretty much know. I know I want to be on the East Coast and I've lived in small towns and know it's not for me. But yeah, I know my list will have to get longer if I want a decent chance of getting in. Thanks for the advice!
  8. I am! I'm applying to NYU, UNC-Chapel Hill, Vanderbilt, and USF. I had a list of 20 schools when I started and I kept chopping it down because a lot of them weren't the right fit for me. I'm trying to find schools that incorporate some kind of creative elements (like NYU) or have a lot of diversity (one of the things I'm interested in is accent modification). I'm a city girl too and I'd love to get back to NY! I'm also taking the GRE's in late August and I'm observing my first speech pathologist next week. If I don't get in I'll finish all of the classes at USU's online program (I'm halfway through) and get a job as a SLP-A hopefully before I apply again. I've been freaking out for a while now and I think this might be the longest ten months of my life!
