tulipz Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi everybody! I was wondering if anyone here has applied (or is applying) to UMaine? I won't be applying until next year, and this is one of my possible choices. As a Canadian applicant, I wanted to apply to one or two US schools to increase my chances of being accepted. I've heard that UMaine has been known to accept quite a few Canadian applicants, and I know it has the option for an additional prereq semester, which is useful to me and my Linguistics undergrad degree, lol. Besides that, I haven't heard much about the program or seen anyone mentioning it on forums. Does anyone know the programs reputation/culture or have any opinions about the school and its SLP program? Thanks!! And good luck to everyone currently applying ?

acampbell Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I applied to Maine this year. I am Canadian with an undergrad in Psychology. I would be super interested to see others input because I also haven't been able to find much! What drew me was the cheaper tuition for Canadian students compared to other international students.

tulipz Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 @acampbell nice to finally see someone else who's applying!! There's gotta be some people out there with opinions, but I've yet to find them haha. I felt that the website was a little more bare-bones than most of the others I've looked at. I was also super intrigued to see a reduced tuition rate for Canadians, that would be helpful for sure! You mentioned that your undergrad is psych - are you planning on completing the CSD prereqs during your first semester if accepted, or have you already completed them?

acampbell Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 @whalezie I applied to be considered for provisional to do my prereqs there next year! If I don't get in I will probably apply to another school in the states as a non degree seeking student or a post bac program to take the pre reqs next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPin2021 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 UMaine does have a history of accepting Canadian students. Several faculty members themselves hail from our northern neighbor. The program runs five semesters and is a mix of onsite clinicals (Conley Speech & Hearing Center) and at ocal schools and hospitals. I highly recommend reaching out to the graduate program director. He will be super helpful and like you has a background in linguistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
