VS-SLP2B Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Does anyone have any insight on the interview? You don’t have to give specific questions but I’m worried because it’s a relatively short interview.
kcb Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I was hoping to find out some information too! I don't know if I should be more or less nervous because of the short interview time.
nguyen16041 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I have been looking around on gradcafe and it seems like there is no information about the interview process. Hopefully we find out soon! kcb 1

Hoping someone who has a interview scheduled this week sees this and offers us some insight before our respective interviews! Best of luck to you!
JordanBroz Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Same here, that would be great! My interview is next Thursday. I hope someone responds to you before your interview, if not, best of luck!! & if you don't mind, can you please let me know how it goes. Sending you good vibes!!
nguyen16041 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Hi everyone! I just finished my interview and it was very relaxed, I would say the overall feeling/vibe is that they are just trying to get to know you. 2 scenario questions and then you can ask questions. Good luck to us all! ?? VS-SLP2B 1

No they didn't, I should've asked! I'm sure it will be quick though, they got back to me very quickly for an interview. Good luck on your interview!

I was notified for an interview quickly as well so my line of thinking is the same as yours that it’ll be quick. Fingers crossed! Thank you!!

JordanBroz Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Oh what a relief!! Thank you so so much!! Would you mind sharing the two scenario questions? Good luck with everything and I hope you hear back from them soon!

I don't feel comfortable with sharing the scenarios because I don't think it will be fair for the people that have already interviewed. But they are not complicated and it's common sense! Don't worry you got this! ???
JordanBroz Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 No worries, I completely understand. Thank you and good luck to everyone!!!
nguyen16041 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Hi all! Since FMU is under candidacy for accreditation, should I be concerned with going here (if I get accepted)? I understand that every program must go through a candidacy period and that many students have graduated from programs that have yet to receive accreditation and they manage to still find jobs/etc. But, are their potential problems/concerns with programs under candidacy?

I was thinking the same thing while I was applying. I’m honestly not sure if there would be potential problems or concerns but I can try and ask them at the end of my interview if I have time/remember!

I mean it is a mandatory part of becoming an accredited, every school has to go through this stage and there are several students that graduate from new programs and have jobs. But I am still concerned, I have looked it up on ASHA and I believe we are still protected. One of my professors got her master's at a community college -- yes I know, I was shocked too when I first found out -- around the 80's. The community system doesn't even have BA/BS degrees anymore, let alone a master's.... BUT she has her CCC's and license... working and is teaching.

If only it could be that easy now lol. I did find this old thread though: It looks like based on this discussion we shouldn’t have any problems.
JordanBroz Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 From my understanding, attending FMU should be fine. It just means that ASHA will be watching to make sure this new program is following all of their guidelines. The candidate stage lasts for 5 years and I believe that every new program must go through this, which makes sense. For instance, something that would not be good is if the program was under probation. A program on probation is not currently in full compliance with the accreditation standards. Programs on probation remain accredited but must demonstrate compliance with the standards within one year. This had happened to LIU brooklyn MS SLP program and I'm not sure what the final result was. I hope this helped!
nguyen16041 Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Thank you for the clarity @JordanBroz and @VS-SLP2B! I feel better now about it, can't wait until we hear back from them! VS-SLP2B 1
kcb Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks everyone!! This makes me feel better. I have an interview at 11 on Monday. I will update with how it goes! Good luck!
nguyen16041 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Has anyone asked when we should be hearing back about acceptances/rejections?
VS-SLP2B Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 Hey everyone! I had my interview today. Definitely laid back like @nguyen16041 mentioned so that’s again for that heads up! I was informed though that they are hoping to have decisions out by next week. Love how fast things seem to be going with them. Best of luck everyone!! nguyen16041 1
nguyen16041 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 YAY! Thank goodness it is going fast, I hate how most programs drag this process out for months. (I understand why they need to, but waiting is so draining.) Glad to hear your interview went well! Out of curiosity, If you guys are accepted, will you accept their offer? VS-SLP2B 1
VS-SLP2B Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 My thinking exactly! And thank you! I’m honestly not sure what I’ll decide if I happen to be accepted. On one hand I really want to but at the same time their out of state tuition is kind of expensive and when I asked they don’t really offer any GA/TA positions.

When I googled it was around $20,000 and I was planning on applying for residency to get in-state tuition the following year. For me it's reasonable! Did you get in anywhere else?
