NYU SLP Masters

Hi everyone!

I am thinking of applying to NYU's distance learning program, I was wondering if anyone has any insight on the program that they would like to share? I am a bit nervous about the application process. Thank you in advance!

I applied for the Fall 2019 cohort and was accepted to Speech@NYU part-time. The application process wasn't too bad. The admissions counselors are really nice and love to check up on you, and may make frequent phone calls. Some people found it annoying, but I had a lot of questions so I found it really helpful that they called frequently and were usually relatively easy to reach. I had a 3.610 undergrad GPA and received a 147Q and 157V on the GRE. Some relevant work experience 2 years post undergrad. Currently I'm taking the leveling courses and I'm enjoying them so far. They split the leveling course load so it's not too heavy for anyone.

I like that it's mostly distance, but you do have to go there for practicum one and two.

Did they provide any funding? I am applying there as well but I am worried about the cost. I'm also terrified that my quant scores on the GRE are going to be abysmal. Do you know if a low quant score can disqualify during the admission process?

To the OP:  Imani a youtuber is an NYU distance student that discuss her experience on a regular basis. Here's a specific video concerning the program at NYU.

Unfortunately no funding for me. I’m planning to apply for more scholarships after this semester to show a strong GPA and hopefully receive some funding. Since I’m also a leveling student so costs for me anywhere look to be around the same ballpark which stinks massively. Surprisingly the cost wasn’t as bad as expected. Still super high though. 

I don't think a low score should disqualify you, cause mine wasn’t super stellar. They do have the average of student GRE scores floating around and I think average quant was 150-156, with them accepting 25% of students who scored below that. They do view things holistically (or so they claim) so a low quant score shouldn’t ding everything on your application. I remember someone posting that they got in with a sub 140 score.

Thank for your reply! I recently finished by application and I am a bit nervous with my status. I am also thinking about applying to Baylor University as well. If you don't mind be asking how do you feel about Baylor's application process? Also, how long did it take to hear from both universities?
