Share your victories!


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

I thought I would start a thread for people to share their victories, big or small! Brag on yourself a little and give some support and congratulations to the wonderful people in the SLP (to be) community ?

I was pretty much rejected across the board last year (1 wait-list, 3 rejections) and this year I actually have some options already. :) So there's that. 

Are you planning on attending PDX's open houses? I'm waiting to hear back from everyone before I jump any guns, but I'm probably going to go if I can figure it out with work.

That's so awesome that you've already gotten accepted! And congrats on PDX! 

 

PDX was my first choice for a long time because of their bilingual program, but after seeing the cost of tuition I might need to go somewhere a little cheaper. When I looked at tuition there originally I didn't realize it was a quarter system, so I thought it would be closer to 30K and not 60K ? I would love to go to the open house, but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it happen with my work schedule and flights. I might do the google hangouts option!

 

Congrats again!

Ah, yes... the cost is definitely deterring. Hard to make those tough decisions. Looks like you have some options too, though. Congrats!

I applied to 10 schools and have gotten accepted into 3 so far! Biola, University of Redlands, and Salus University!

That's awesome! Congratulations! Are you leaning towards any of those programs right now?

I applied as an out of field applicant without leveling courses completed so really didn't know what would happen. I was super nervous about how things would turn out but just got into my top choice program (& several others) and am so so so over the moon. Still waiting on financial details and a couple other schools but am really honored to even have a difficult decision to make - congrats to everyone else as well!!

I have applied to 16 schools, heard back from 10 so far. Accepted at 8, waitlisted at 1, and rejected at 1 as well! 

Still waiting on some of my big ones, so I'm still very on edge. Good luck to everyone! I love hearing when y'all get into your top schools.

I got into 1 of my top schools!! A little sad I was waitlisted to my 2 other ones but there is still hope with a waitlist!! I did decline my offer to Saint Mary's already , so whoever is on the waitlist for that program I hope this helps you!!

I got into one of my top choices that I completely was not expecting to get into! This is my first year applying and I'm a partial out of field applicant (don't have all of my prerequisites completed). Also I have potential for some funding at a few of my schools, so hopefully I can even get a Master's without a mountain of debt! Congratulations to everybody on their successes!

I got into Northwestern today!! I've been so nervous that I wouldn't get in anywhere, especially since my first three decisions were rejections, and then I was waitlisted from another. I'm so so proud of myself and thankful. A big weight has been lifted!

I also got into Northwestern this morning! Really eager to see the results for the last two.

Hi @lifeispeachy and @meadymalarkey!! Congratulations on your acceptances! I also got into PDX (only acceptance so far) and it was also my first choice because of their bilingual program. But just like you @lifeispeachy the cost of tuition is scaring me haha. I will be attending the open house because I really want to get to know the department before I make any decision.

I'm in my last semester of grad school and way past the point of applying, but I had a great week that's worth sharing: I took the Praxis, got my 375th clinical hour, and set up an appointment to fill out hiring paperwork for a long-term SLP sub position that will run from May to mid-June. It's been a looong time coming, but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel!

I’m still considering it, but I’m going to apply to the GRA position and see how it goes! If I don’t get that, I’ll likely be attending SDSU since the program is cheaper. I think PDX has a great program though, so you probably can’t go wrong?
