I was accepted off the wait-list!!!! I was absolutely not expecting it and just accepted to PSU on the 15th.  I have no idea what I'm going to do...

Congrats!  Me too!!! I have no idea what to do either...
 
Does anyone know much about the SFSU program?  I have some connections to SFSU but no one in the CD department.  I'm hoping to somehow get time off and pay for a visit but not sure if it will be possible.  

I WAS JUST ACCEPTED TO USF!!!! This is actually the happiest moment of my life. I cried tears of joy. Thank you all for supporting me through this time. It means so much. 

Congrats on your acceptance, jeffmooo!

Me too!  At this point I was already sort of giving up on SFSU.  Now I'm realizing that if we do make it in, we will probably only have a few days to make a decision!  Eek!  
Has anyone heard anything about the SFSU interview process?

Decisions must be sent out today, right??  I'm about to take a final, this isn't helping me focus!

Okay cute story related to this thread:  I got my list of things to prep for this Fall from ECU, and I have to acquire a penlight, stethoscope, and stopwatch.  I called my mom to chat and mentioned it in our conversation, and she was like, "Oh, a stethoscope AND a stopwatch?  I have one that I've been saving for you when you finally realized you needed to go into a health profession!"   (aw, thanks mom!!) 
 
So funny looking back on this from the other side... being that my music ed career will be put on the back burner once school gets out in June. Of course I'm going to keep performing, so that part of my "old" career will still be there!  I have no clue how old or in what condition her stethoscope is, so I may end up buying a new one anyway if it just isn't up to par, but seriously, I love my mom for this.  :-)

I just wanted to say, like others have been, how helpful this forum has been before and during my grad admissions process! I haven't posted but I've checked this thread numerous times especially over the past month or two during the "waiting game" and just wanted to finally log-in and say congrats to everyone and positive thoughts to those still waiting!
Not many people really understand how competitive the SLP master's program is and how rough the application process can be, so I found this thread very helpful and a nice break from friends and family who just don't understand...
I thought it was reassuring that many members on here shared feelings especially when it comes to people out of field and their reactions to the whole process. It's not like I was asking everyone in my life to stop what they were doing and celebrate, but when I got my first acceptance most people were just like "of course you got in, why wouldn't you?" and ahhh you people just get it on here!!!

I can't speak for admissions committees, but I don't think other students would view you in a negative manner.  As a post-bacc student, I have noticed that there are people of all ages pursuing study in this field, from early 20's to well in their 60's.  I imagine that your dedication to the discipline (pursuing a PhD) would be viewed favorably by admission committees.  As long as your statement of intent addresses the reason you want to go back to obtain your C's, I imagine you would be able to gain admission to a program.  Perhaps start by contacting the departments you are interested in?  Good luck in your pursuits!

I GOT ACCEPTED TO PSU! big sigh of relief...so glad I'm really going to grad school!
 
For all of you still waiting for your first acceptance...I hope it happens for you, too!  I talked to one of my professors today and she reiterated how wacky this process can be- there are so many qualified applicants and so few spots to fill.  Hopefully as endless March goes on we will see more acceptances and some wait-list spots open up!
