joannly Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1 hour ago, 40somethingSLP said: Do you know how long the wait is for that?? I was waitlisted in Long Beach. I'm not sure what the waiting period is going to be like, my friend was also waitlisted. But they did tell her that they were going to do another admission process that involves another review because there is no priority order for the waitlist at the moment. This may mean another interview, another application, or just even them looking over your application one more time. I'm thinking it'll probably be them reviewing your app one more time and then ordering everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called/emailed them today and they told me they'd just completed a second round of review and I would hear in a couple days. I'm not really sure if that would be the same for you though, because I wasn't waitlisted, I just didn't hear anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ggslpa Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi everyone, I just received my letter (email) from ENMU. I was waitlisted. Anyone else on this list or anyone accepted that's thinking about rejecting please let me know. It's a relief to hear back but bitter sweet.

Can anyone give any info about the campus, program, instructors, and etc.? This isn't my top choice, but it isn't my last choice. Just would love more information about it outside of the website! I know their clinical program is structured differently than other schools, but I'm not so fond on the area. Also what's everyone's opinion on between: (1) total $62k for 2 years, desired location (California), beautiful campus, lots of diversity OR (2) $40k, meh location, not that great of a reputation (at least for undergrad - not sure what the grad reputation is)? Both are accredited. California is my end goal and if I attend the CA school, then I don't have deal with taking to get my licenses in CA vs if I go to Carbondale, then I will have to apply for my licenses for CA and fill out paperwork that will take months to process. Thanks so much in advance! As far as on the second note...where are you attending in CA? Also, are you worried about the financial aspect of graduate school or will you be using loans to cover, etc? I ask these things bc for someone currently living in CA, the cost of living is very high & on top of that, I am going to cover school with loans (esp bc you can only work minimally in grad school, if at all). In the grand scheme of things, though graduate school is only two years, I didn't want to have to worry about accumulating 75-80k in debt, on top of my undergrad debt! Of course this is just my opinion & my own financial situation I think if financial situation isn't an issue.. make a pros & cons list & go with your heart! It sounds like you are leaning toward CA, but just remember, in the end you'll get your CCC's no matter what! California is a beautiful place to be...just get ready for the traffic hehe Hope this helps !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much in advance! Hi!! If I were in your shoes...I'd go with the CA school. I have a friend who was in a similar situation (wanted to ultimately work in CA but went out of state for grad school) and she said while it was okay she ultimately wished she had gone to school in CA, not just because of the licensing thing but because classes were geared towards how things were done in that state which wasn't always necessarily the same as CA. Also...I'm guessing because of that high CA tuition it's not a Cal State, but the cool thing about CA is that there are state grants for in-state residents, which I didn't even realize until recently. I got my financial aid package and most of my tuition is covered by this grant - my yearly tuition is going to be $1,750(!!!). I am not sure if this grant is available for all schools in CA or just the public schools, but definitely do some research on that and communicate with the financial aid office. I think it sounds like you'd be happier in California. Plus, placements can turn into jobs and it would give you the opportunity to network in the area you want to ultimately be.

California is a beautiful place to be...just get ready for the traffic hehe Hope this helps !! University of Redlands! I am really concerned about financial aid because I would have to use loans to pay for all $62k for Redlands. This is definitely a huge factor in choosing what school to attend. I'm from Chicago so I'm not concerned with the traffic (knowing it's a little worse)! On 3/24/2018 at 10:48 PM, swimbikespeech said: Hi!! If I were in your shoes...I'd go with the CA school.

Just my two cents Just as babykoala pointed out, I am an IL resident so the State University Grant would not apply to me. This is why I would be concerned with getting licensed from IL to CA... We shall see. I know that Carbondale is a higher ranked program than Redlands according to US News. I'm leaning towards Carbondale now that I realized how many loans I would have to take if I attend Redlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
