Northern Arizona - 2019 Summer track

Recommended Posts

Hi! I was accepted to NAU and I am so excited! It's my first acceptance and honestly, I didn't think I would get in due to my GPA and GRE score. Thank goodness they look at other areas as well. Has anyone else been accepted? If so, where are you from? I am from CA and have been an SLPA for almost three years.

Congrats! I applied to NAU too, but for the Full-Time Track. Do you mind sharing what your GPA and GRE scores were? My stats are low and "not competitive" (less than 3.5 and below 300/gre) so I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get accepted anywhere this cycle ?

Thank you. My stats are not "competitive" as well. I read so many things from individuals getting in with a low GRE/GPA score and it gave me hope. I thought if they can do it, so  can I. With that being said, my terrible scores are CumGpa 2.8, 3.5 in major. My GRE is less than 290! My SOI talked about all the experience I had and how I worked two jobs during my COMD courses (sort of explained that I worked over 45 hours a week and still had a 3.5). Prior to being an SLPA, I worked as a teacher's aid with deaf children for 5+ years. I am also fluent in ASL and had amazing LORs.

I just heard back from NAU for the full-time track and was accepted with similar stats as you. My undergrad GPA was a cumulative 3.1 but I did have a 305 combined GRE score. I think that they weigh heavy on the personal statement and letters of recommendation, instead of solely looking at GPA/GRE.

That's encouraging! I'm confident in my statement and letters :)

My GRE scores are less than 290 as well! This gives me hope that my scores aren't a "kiss of death" for an acceptance.

I know that is what I thought as well but it is not a death sentence and I'm glad they looked at other areas.

Congrats to you too! Will you be attending? 

I believe I am, as the program seems more feasible with my lifestyle (work) but I am still waiting to hear back from all the schools and see what my options are. What about you?

Hey guys,

Anyone still waiting to be notified of a decision. I'm not too hopeful anymore but I put a lot of energy into my application and I'm still waiting.....:/

They sent decisions out really early, but it's still a possibility! Don't lose hope just yet.

It says the info in your signature, lol. If you only want online schools then try Emerson as well.
