Worcester State + Bridgewater State

[MassSLPwannabe]

Has anyone heard from Worcester or Bridgewater ?

[sfarim]

I applied to Worcester, and am also still waiting to hear back from them.

I'm also waiting to hear back from Worcester State!

[MassSLPwannabe]

I did email worcester and they said they would be mailing letters in 1-2 weeks.. very vague response lol 

[sfarim]

Thanks for the update. In past years, I saw from this forum, that they dod not usually send out decisions until this week anyway. And the school is closing due to the virus, which will probably delay them further

[sfarim]

The email I get from USPS shows that I'm getting a letter from Worcester State that was postmarked on March 13. Most likely, it's a decision letter.

Yes i got the letter in the mail as well! kinda unclear. it says welcome to worcester state and gave an ID number, but didnt really mention being admitted/ SLP lol but im guessing that means im in if it says welcome to WSU?

[sfarim]

I received the same letter. I wonder if they meant to send something about our admissions first.

My friend just got an email for Bridgewater for an interview this week, so they're working on that process!

[MassSLPwannabe]

oo thanks for the heads up!

[MassSLPwannabe]

got the official acceptance letter today from worcester!!

[sfarim]

That's great! I did as well!

Do you think you might decide to go there? I probably will, since it's by far my least expensive option. 

[speechiewannabe2]

I got accepted as well and it is the only school I have gotten accepted to so far. I have been waitlisted at every other school.....my top choice is UNH and they told me that I would hear if I have been accepted off the waitlist after April 15th. However, I need to let Worcester State know if I will be attending by April 15th. I think I may have to commit to Worcester State and then back out if I get accepted to UNH ?

I think im like 75 percent sure I would go to Worcester. I also got into Emerson but its literally more than double the cost... and I really don't want to be in a ton of debt.. since also i think were about to enter a crazy recession lol. But I am hoping to hear back to see if I got any grants or anything

well I think the worcester deposit was only 200, so if you do get into UNH after putting the deposit, the worst that happens is only losing a little! But i feel ya , I was waitlisted at 4 schools.. and I havent heard at all from UNH so im not sure thats a good sign for me there, lol

I wish you luck with Emerson. This is really a bizarre time. I hope that we'll be able to start grad school as planned. 

If you do end up going to Worcester, I look forward to meeting you!

Did you guys get an email from Worcester about the Welcome Meeting for accepted students? I'm wondering if it was sent, and I missed it somehow.

I got accepted to BSU a few weeks ago. Hesitant because of the accreditation status, but it for sure is my cheapest option. Running out of time and needing to make a decision! Is anyone else in a similar predicament?

I wouldnt worry too much about the accreditation status! I have heard that you will still be eligible to take the praxis and get your C's even if something did happen with the accreditation.
