chellinchen Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 That was me! I was invited to the interview, and declined because I had gained acceptance to programs that were a better fit with what I am looking for. I am also not crazy about the St. Cloud area, so I figured why miss a day of work to pursue something that isn't going to work out. I can feel you on waiting an extra year. I thought about applying last minute to 3 year programs in the fall 2012 cycle, but ultimately decided to complete a cheap (8-9k total) and awesome post-bac at USU. I loved USU's program and I found it reasonable to take a full-time course load and work full-time to earn some money/experience on my "year off." In hindsight, I am so glad I did, because I don't think I would have gained acceptance to many of the programs that I received offers from. I hope you either hear good news soon, or devise a plan that will allow you more/better options in the future!! Thank you so much for chiming in - I'm feel more & more like I'm going to go with an online post-bac, regardless of what Saint Cloud says (it isn't the strongest school, even in this area, for what I want to do after completing my degree). I had no idea USU was so cheap. There's got to be another thread here about post-bacc programs, yes? *goes to look*
emelki Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Congratulations to everyone making decisions! I'm envious! What is it with DGS's going out of town this week? Isn't it kind of important that they be available during these last few days? It's really coming down to the wire, and not being able to get answers to my questions is not making this any easier! Rant over. I'm ready for this whole process to be over. Longest two months of my life. katieliz456 1
mystiqueSLP Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Yay, my official acceptance letter from Montclair came today! So happy that it's really official now and it wasn't a mistake It was a one page letter. They said I have until April 19th to decide, sign and return the letter, and put down a $200 deposit. The letter didn't say anything about an accepted students day; I wish they were having one so I can meet some of my future classmates. Since Temple doesn't look like they're accepting anyone else, I'm 99% sure I will be attending Montclair in the fall! The one positive thing about that is it's making my decision very easy. They also said that they will accept my Utah State courses so it looks like I only need to take 2 or 3 more classes this summer to be caught up with all of the prereqs! I believe I told someone that Montclair gives out 5 grad assistantships each year, but I think I was wrong. I believe they only give 2 away and we won't find out until the summer if we got one. Either way, I will be paying in-state tuition which will be a much more affordable option for me compared to Syracuse. I will be notifying Syracuse that I'm turning down their offer so hopefully this will help someone on the waitlist. Looks like I should notify the schools where I was waitlisted to take me off the waitlist. Phew, looks like this crazy admissions process is finally drawing to a close for me! Congrats! You should post this and any info about Montclair in the The mini open house for accepted students is on April 15th at 12:30pm. BlarneyStone87 1

I just noticed you have another choice besides NYU now, congrats! I don't know much about Montclair, but I am guessing it's less $$ than NYU? I know you were worried about money. So excited for you!

SLPjmar Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I wanted to congratulate you all once again. I am very thankful to have discovered this site and this thread, as I believe it made me sane when I was feeling mostly insane. I hope that throughout the next few years, you all experience wonderful success! I would also love if anyone would check back in here periodically- I would love to see how you're all doing! Also wishing good news for everyone who is still waiting. midnight, BlarneyStone87, fsustar83 and 1 other 4

I have a cousin who went to Baylor undergrad and Vandy for MEd and loved them both Hahaha thanks! Yeah, i've been going back and forth this whole time, but ultimately decided Baylor was the best fit for me (even though it is ranked #73 lol). Have you made your decision yet??

I change my mind between UNC and SUNY approx every 5 minutes I haven't heard from Queens or Brooklyn but I think they are pretty much out of the picture.
katieliz456 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 No! I change my mind between UNC and SUNY approx every 5 minutes I haven't heard from Queens or Brooklyn but I think they are pretty much out of the picture. Wow, that sounds like a tough decision! At least you have two great options:)
caterpillar Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Ahhhhhh finally a waitlist. They seem to be discouraging around here but as his last chance at grad school this year, my husband was pretty dang excited, let me tell you! queenleblanc, arrowgirlie, fsustar83 and 1 other 4

aed1989 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I was just Accepted to Armstrong Atlantic State and Eastern Kentucky University.... I had a little bit lower stats and this is my second year applying so thrilled to be accepted... however I'm from Ohio and I've never been to either school... Does Anyone have any information on which to attend or any information on these schools at all. I would like to eventually end up in Ohio, I don't know if a kentucky school would give me better chances, but Savannah is supposed to be beautiful. Also Eastern Kentucky starts in June (very soon) and is 6 semesters and Armstrong is 5 semesters... but I don't know if the other will give me more externship possibilities... I just started comparing both and planning on contacting the head of admissions for both. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks! Inny and jdslp 2

saslp Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Has anyone heard from CU Boulder off the wait list? Also trying to make contact with anyone doing University of Wyoming distance program.
meangreen23 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Waiting... Waiting... -__- My mom told me I'm like the girl from 27 dresses.. I'm the bridesmaid, not the bride! lol isabel_is_confused 1
tlsstc Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I accepted at UNC Chapel Hill and declined SUNY New Paltz. It was a hard decision! Hopefully will help someone out on the waitlist. katieliz456, Nebraska19, slpf13 and 1 other 4
