littlet4lks Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hey guys! MGH IHP is my top choice school so I wanted to know if anyone else applied there for Fall 2020. I am anxiously waiting to hear back. I applied to other Boston schools too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehteg1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I applied! My mother is a principal, and her school's SLP just graduated from MGH IHP. She has told me so many amazing things about this program. I am very excited. She informed me that the school is searching for highly Diverse individuals. I am hoping that my experience and highly diverse background helps me out! Anyway, Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas7 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I also applied! @littlet4lks I saw on another thread that you applied to Boston University, Northeastern University, and Emerson College like I did. I was wondering if you had any idea when we would hear back about interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BU and Emerson were the first week of February. I am so anxious waiting lol! nas7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsolnewworld Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I also applied as an applicant from the West Coast because they're program seems so neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samiamslp Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Good luck, all of you! Feel free to ask me any questions that you have about the IHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slphopefulmeg Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 finally caved and created an account after lurking - this program is one of my top choices as well and i'm super anxious to hear back. i'm out of field with minimal speech experience so i'm unsure of my chances, but i also applied to a lot of other boston/nyc schools. littlet4lks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlet4lks Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm from NYC and know a lot about the programs here, so let me know if you have any questions! My absolute dream is to go to any of the Boston schools though haha! slphopefulmeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slphopefulmeg Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My top choice is Columbia (I live in NYC currently and don't want to move lol and also want to have the bilingual option) but I also applied to BU, northeastern, MGH, NYU and northwestern. The waiting part sucks and I just want to know if I even have a shot at getting (& I was a little ambitious with my program options but also limited in where I could apply due to not having all the prereqs). But good luck!! Hopefully things pan out well for us!! littlet4lks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlet4lks Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 @slphopefulmeg I applied there too! Yeah honestly the waiting is KILLING me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slphopefulmeg Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 @littlet4lks yeah I've been an anxious mess since submitting. do you know if northeastern is doing interviews again this year?? BU was the only program clear on that but I wish they would say who is getting interviews so i can plan for any time off of work/travel arrangements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlet4lks Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 @slphopefulmeg I am assuming they are but not sure. It seems like we hear back next week about interviews though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slphopefulmeg Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 @samiamslp ah that’s good to hear!! I wrote my diversity essay about being lgbt and gender non-conforming & why that perspective is important in speech (& about my out of field background) which felt a little risky but i think my essays are strong and I was hoping MGH would be a program that would value that so fingers crossed!

I’m a current student at IHP and my personal statement was very similar. The school really does well with inclusivity and cultural competency. Our professors are open to all kinds of feedback so they can ensure that everyone learns and grows in a safe environment. I feel very safe and happy to be surrounded by a great cohort! musicalmini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you know how much people usually get? MGH is one of my choices but I'm not sure whether I can afford to live in Boston, even if I somehow get in! Thanks in advance for your help and time!

I didn't get any funding and unfortunately don't know the actual numbers. I'd say you can make living in Boston work, depending on the neighborhood and your roommate situation. Many people make it work through GA positions, work, etc. You should call the IHP finance office and see if they have any info on scholarships/funding. Good luck!

I got an interview at Emerson but haven’t heard anything from BU or Northeastern. Is there another thread on here that pertains to Northeastern? I couldn’t find one.

If you look under the results section and search "speech pathology" or "speech pathology northeastern" you can see more info about interview invites. it is a little stressful to see everything there though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard back from Northeastern today, as well as Emerson last week. Looking at past results it looks like BU was the last to notify people out of the Boston schools!
