Same! praying for a miracle in terms of funding, because I really did not think I was going to get in! trying to decide between vanderbilt and my current undergrad, which is under half the price.... also considering MGH, but they're even more expensive than vandy!

Yup same exact boat -- the scholarship offer I got from Emerson would make them less than half the cost of Vanderbilt too... it's insane how expensive everything is! Hoping vandy pulls through with some offer of aid too, good luck to us both!

Accepted to Washington State today! Thought I'd bombed my interview so I am definitely pleasantly surprised.

Accepted to University of Iowa!  Very excited (it's my first choice), but also a bit worried about the out-of-state tuition costs.  I'm hoping I'll be offered an assistantship so that I can at least get in-state tuition fees.

I got waitlisted at Idaho State on Monday which is a nice change from the 2 rejections I’ve received from Midwestern (Glendale) and NYU online last semester :/. Anyone else waitlisted at Idaho? They’re my top choice!

I was also waitlisted for Idaho.

I've been accepted to Loma Linda, Northern Arizona University, and Our Lady of the Lake. Did anyone hear back from any of these? Does anyone have any recommendations/advice about them? Thanks! 

I was accepted to NAU. Seems like a good program.  I'm from LA so the small town feel is a nice change.

That I don't know.  I've been waitlisted at Redlands  as well.  Redlands said they anticipate taking people from the waitlist but Idaho didn't elaborate.

I was accepted to Adelphi (2/17), Touro (2/20) and St. John's (3/13). I interviewed at CUNY Brooklyn and CUNY Queens earlier this month, but I've yet to receive a final response from either school. I was rejected from CUNY Hunter today (3/16). Hunter was my top school so I was hoping for the chance to interview before I was rejected...

Not gonna lie... I'm surprised you got into all of those programs with those stats (good but not outstanding). Gives the rest of us hope.

I also didn't include my leadership, my thesis/research experience, and other things.  But glad to give people hope.

I received an interview request from New Mexico State yesterday! Kind of surprised that they are asking for an interview but still excited! 

Update: They just accepted me!

What in the world. Those aren’t good stats? So what would be considered “good stats”?

@slpinthemaking12 when did you submit your application to St.John's? 

[swimbikespeech]

Has anyone gotten a rejection from Cal State Long Beach? I mean I'm assuming I was rejected but I've just heard crickets from them since applying...

[m0wgli]

@swimbikespeech I got one...unfortunately lol. It was just a generic email from CSULB Admissions

I got rejection from CSU LA and wait listed in CSU Long Beach. Very much bummed because my interview went so well with CSU LA. I guess I was not good enough. Not sure what I can change for the next year. Maybe more experience. Still waiting for CSUN. I applied only to three schools, since I can’t move outside LA area.

big big bummer

My top two choices (which I'm lucky enough to be able to choose between) are Rush and IU.

Now I have to choose!

Rush: $$$, closer to home, impressive reputation and faculty, exciting location

IU: $ (I get in-state since I went to HS & undergrad here), further away (~4.5 hrs), I know the town and school very well.

Thoughts?

If I were you I would really think about what it is that made you pick those as your top two. What makes one stand out from the other?? Is there something that one has that you KNOW you could not be successful without?  Coming from someone who chose a program 6 hours from home, I think doing this thinking really helped me when I made my decision. No matter what you choose,  in reality it is a short, but huge part of your life. Really think about what you need to be successful in the program!

If you are thinking more financially than what draws you specifically to one versus the other,  I would take the cheaper option. Our field is in high demand for jobs right now and if you feel you could get equal opportunity from both, why not save money as an added bonus?! But that's just me   No matter where you end up I'm sure you will love your experience! Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

I would call their department and make an inquiry if you want a definitive answer. Acceptance letters did go out and I heard that they are in the process of doing a second review period for those who are waitlisted. Those who were waitlisted were also emailed too!

[40somethingSLP]

Do you know how long the wait is for that?? I was waitlisted in Long Beach.
