AspiringAuD Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Is anyone else attending WashU this fall? I accepted my offer last week and am hoping to connect with future classmates!
mayag Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Hi there!! I am most likely attending WUSTL this fall! Did your acceptance letter state that the deadline to respond was April 6th? Mine does, but I think most other schools are using the April 15th deadline!
GraceAudiology Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I am torn between WashU and one other program! Do you know if there is a page for admitted students yet?

I have seen April 15th for all others, so this one is just a tad earlier. So excited to hear you may attend!!!

I keep searching but have not been able to find a page yet! You're both more than welcome to add me - https://www.facebook.com/tylar.mcdaniel - and then maybe we can create a page soon?
speechpathy Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I'm not audiology nor will I be attending WashU, but I will be attending Fontbonne as a speech path student! Fontbonne is literally down the street from WashU, so I thought it might be cool to connect with audiology students. I will be new to St. Louis, so thought it would be nice to talk about that with others Best of luck to you all!

Do you know which area you'll be living in?

I’ve spoken to a WashU student and was told that the Central West End area is quite nice and a popular spot for grad students!

Okay, I will check that out. I've been doing so many apt searches and just trying to find the best option out there with a short commute.
AspiringAuD Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 @mayag @speechpathy A coworker of mine is from St. Louis and she suggested Central West End as well! She also recommended driving by apartments at night to make sure it still feels safe and comfortable (which I probably wouldn't have thought to do). @mayag what other schools did you apply to?

Okay, I will definitely look at Central West End then. After looking at pictures it looks pretty nice. That's a good idea! I will probably go around next week looking at places since it's spring break.

I applied to UW, WashU, CU Boulder, ASU, University of Arizona, Pacific University, SDSU/UCSD, and AT Still University! What about you? I’m now trying to choose between WashU and the University of Arizona! Not sure if anyone here applied to UW, but I was super bummed to find out that they closed their program Also, great tip about driving around the apartments at night. I definitely wouldn’t have thought of that.
futureAuD22 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 WashU was my number 1! I'm so so sad! does anyone know why?
AspiringAuD Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 @mayag I completely understand!! I originally planned on applying to 10 for that same reason haha, but ended up narrowing it down to 5 because of the application fees. WUSTL was actually #1 on my list and the only program I was accepted to (I was waitlisted everywhere else).
mayag Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 @AspiringAuD WashU was at the top of my list along with CU Boulder and UW. I was super lucky to get into WashU too— most of my other programs waitlisted me! Did you do a phone/in person interview with them?
AspiringAuD Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 @mayag Congrats on getting in!! It really is such a huge accomplishment to be accepted. I went to CU for my undergrad! Also an amazing school, but sooo expensive. I guess most AuD programs are haha. I flew out to WashU in October, and I honestly feel like that was a big reason for my acceptance. Did you visit or have a call with them?

Yeah, I’ve heard that the cost of living in Boulder is pretty high. That’s awesome that you went to CU, I’ve always wanted to visit the area. I had a phone interview with WashU and I think that had a lot to do with my acceptance. I’m also visiting campus during the first week of April and I’m excited! I look forward to meeting you if we both end up there

The campus is pretty cool and the PACS building is amazing, I hope you enjoy your time there! The faculty and students are also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which to me made a huge impact. I look forward to meeting you too if you decide to attend
