Congratulations to everyone who got accepted. I was officially REJECTED! I'm relieved the wait is over but as soon as I get home I'm gonna cry. 

Oh no!!!!!! I’m so sorry about this. That stinks so much. Don’t let this discourage you from getting your master’s.

I’m so sorry girl! Take the time you need but don’t let it get you down! I never thought I would get into a program but it is possible! 

Thanks. I'm pretty sad about it but I'm already on a waitlist for another school and I still have a few more applications to submit. Have a great holiday.

This was my third time applying to TWUs distance program. Before that, I applied to 6 different schools and got rejected every single time. Keep your head up! I know the rejection letters hurt ❤️

Hello!  I think I saw that you were also accepted to Emerson. I am thinking of applying by the 15th. I have a phone meeting with someone tomorrow and was hoping for a little advice about the application. The only thing I have to work on is the LOI.  I have a rough draft but I'm guessing it's not interesting enough. My story of getting inspired to be an SLP is not that dramatic....

Anything would help.

I wasn’t. It was the one who started the thread, MomofTwo I think who was accepted to Emerson. I only applied to TWU. I wrote about my caseload and the current status of the SLPs changing every year due to the workload and that 90% or so of our students are below federal poverty level and we are literally the ONLY source of therapy. We’ve seen an increase in severe disorders- I’m talking students who have feeding tubes! Right now they are half day PPCD but before we know it they will be full time at school and we need more than one slp in my rural district to provide services. I’ve also been there in the same district 4 years, outlasting all of my SLP supervisors.

Congrats! Wishing you all the best!!

I just checked my email after I just now read your post and I got accepted too!!!! lol I’m so excited. I got accepted to Emerson online as well but was waiting to hear back from TWU! 

Congratulations of both your acceptances!

I'm thinking of applying to Emerson by the 15th and was looking for some advice on the application and specifically your LOI.....if you had the chance.

Whoops! Sorry but thank you for your info. I'm struggling to make more of a connection with my LOI.

@Ggslpa hi love. Yes I was accepted to Emerson as well. For my LOI, it was honestly very standard topics I talked about such as my education, experiences and why I was picking the Emerson program to apply to. I’m a mom to two toddlers who I had in grad school while I was doing my previous masters program so and online program was very appealing to me. Also, my son has been in ECI since before he turned two and I’ve been dealing with SLP stuff on a daily basis because of his speech and feeding therapies. He’s 4 now. A lot of my introduction was about him. Later I talked about how I majored undergrad in SLP. Also I spoke about finishing my masters in science education but still focusing my thesis on inclusive classrooms for science and math education and dealing with special need students.  After that I kind of wrote about my work experience.. which I don’t have too much of as I’ve been busy with the kids since graduation. 

I hope that helps. If you’re having you’re official interview, don’t stress too much about it! It is fairly easy. They ask you 3 questions only. 

The only downside to the Emerson program, in my opinion is, how extremely pricey it is. If you’re willing to pay, it’s a great program!

Btw, excuse my lack of punctuation/grammar. Writing this while stuck in traffic.

Thank you. No problem. your info has given me a lot to think about. I checked out the price for Emerson and it said it was $67,544 for the course of the program, is this right?. I know some programs can go up to $100,000 for the program. I guess i really don't know how much a graduate program is supposed to cost.... Yikes.

Call Monday and see what is going on. I was under the impression this past Wednesday during the webinar for admitted students that they set the class for cycle 10. Call Ms Tomlinson or Mrs Chance and see if there was an oversight in letting you know your status. Classes start Monday for the observation class for students who did not obtain the 25 university directed hours of observation.
