tayfray Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I e-submitted mine over two weeks ago and my GPA hasn't been calculated (I somehow missed the part of the FAQ that said the process could take up to four weeks). I'm trying not to think about it. On Friday (1/29) I was on the phone with CSDCAS and they told me they were working on applications submitted in the first week of January. watjubs 1
Abeja Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 My CSDCAS info says that no apps have been mailed yet- and my GPA still hasn't been calculated, but I received an email from Emerson telling me that they had everything necessary now to begin reviewing my application...so maybe it was sent?
jayness54 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 ahh this is maddening! I'm really tossing this whole grad school thing up to a higher power haha (aka csdcas)

Emerson sent me the same thing before my application had been mailed from CSDCAS. I think schools have access to it as soon as you put the school name in the system BUT not all schools will look at it before it is mailed to them. Once it has been mailed you will see a date next to the school name in the results area.

I'm pretty sure they don't get your materials until CSDCAS mails it out to them.
ssamsair Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 i applied to northwestern, rush and wayne state university CSDCAS hasnt mailed my apps yet either :S waiting is definately the worst part of the process... im just worried theres something wrong with my application! also, if u guys wouldnt mind posting ur gre score and gpa that would be awsome!! just so we can get a general idea of the average applicant. good luck everyone
tayfray Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I think they get your contact info and your submission date. I'm pretty sure they don't get your materials until CSDCAS mails it out to them. Actually, I take that back... I looked at my Emerson account and they do at least have information about where my letters and transcripts came from. *shrug* It would be really nice if they did start processing stuff sooner than later.

SJS Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 There are some seriously good applicants here! I am excited to hear from everybody when decisions start arriving!
SJS Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Where do I enter the information of "Applied to, accepted, rejected," so that it appears on my posts? I just saw this, you go to your profile, by clicking on the down arrow in the upper right hand corner by your name. Then, click on "edit my profile". On the next page, there is a "change signature" button on the left hand side. Hope this helps.

jayness54 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 WELL THIS IS FUN. I got an email from Pitt today saying they received my app from CSDCAS but that it is incomplete - they said they are missing my letters of recommendation. REALLY?! How is this possible CSDCAS? They have been submitted since Jan 10!! ELECTRONICALLY!!!! And after waiting ohhhh I don't know... 45 minutes? to speak with someone from CSDCAS, they urged me to tell all my schools that they can access this info online. Even though all the schools I applied to have assured me they won't even glance at my app until they have received everything FROM CSDCAS. ijfsdfawes;fidjawesd

Did CSDCAS just screw up and send them an incomplete package? Yikes! What a horrible, horrible system. jayness54 1
tayfray Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Anyone hearing anything back yet? Everyone that I know who is applying this season (in other fields) are already having interviews and getting decisions. I'm so anxious! Of course, I keep checking the "results" page obsessively, but that makes it worse, since a couple of people have heard back from GWU, which is one of the programs I applied to.
jayness54 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Oh, no! Did CSDCAS just screw up and send them an incomplete package? Yikes! What a horrible, horrible system. right?! I had to talk to the CSD at Pitt, and I guess they had to call CSDCAS directly and access them from the website. What a nightmare!

I haven't heard anything yet :\ ... it is definitely nerve wracking. I think there is a forum on this website of SLP masters applicants from last years cycle - you might want to check that out. You can check the dates of all the posts and get a sense of when last years applicants started to hear back from some schools. I'll try and find the link and post it on here for you.

Ohh, I've already read that like 4 or 5 times all the way through. It kind of freaks me out when I get to the people who were still waiting in APRIL. I'm thinking the timing will be a little different this year, though, because a bunch of the schools are using CSDCAS for the first time instead of doing it the traditional way. 6 of my schools are CSDCAS.

Its sad isn't it? I'm thinking 'OK so I should know if I have an interview at NYU by February 22nd" haha.

I haven't heard anything, and I keep checking the "results" page as well. I had a miniature anxiety attack when I saw that someone from U of M applying for SLP was rejected. It didn't occur to me that it could have been a PhD candidate until I got home from work like two hours later, which of course it was... ha!
