SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 GPA/GRE alone provide very little information -- it's all about the factors that you can't see, like the personal statement, research/work experience, publications, etc., that really sets an applicant apart. (IMO) I agree. Unless the adcom has to provide some sort of GPA cutoff (i.e., a 3.2 is required to apply), I don't think they only look at numbers.
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Talk about a momentary freak-out session. I just got an email about UNC Greensboro financial aid which included my student number... after going through all of the steps it said to do, I finally found the screen that showed "requirements" to be satisfied, which included admission .... haha!! Wow, now I have student ID numbers for UNC-G, WCU, and USC... would be nice to get an acceptance of course! Wouldn't it be funny if my acceptance was noted in the financial aid system before I was notified? Yeah, that would be cool. Now I have more websites to obsessively login. It's semi-positive news to think about as I wait for official news, so I'm holding on to that!! :-)

(IMO) I agree. Unless the adcom has to provide some sort of GPA cutoff (i.e., a 3.2 is required to apply), I don't think they only look at numbers. That's good to hear. GREs are way too expensive to keep re-taking and it's hard to come back from a low GPA.
NorcalSLP Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Just got accepted to the Med SLP program at the University of Washington. AHHH I am freaking out. Accepted: UW (MED), UMN-TC, BU, Emerson, Rush, GWU, MGH Rejected: Waitlisted: I did my post bacc at UW. If you have any questions about the school/area feel free to PM me. Congrats on all your acceptances, and those still waiting, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm kind of annoyed that a lot of SLP posters are using the results search as a conversation thread. It makes it much harder to skim over. katieliz456, sugarmilk and queenleblanc 3

queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I don't even have a student ID for USC! I think it is related to the FAFSA which I submitted recently. Don't panic!! :-) Edited March 6, 2013 by kcald716
Tuck Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm kind of annoyed that a lot of SLP posters are using the results search as a conversation thread. It makes it much harder to skim over. That really annoys me too. I freaked out when I saw Vanderbilt show up 3 times, but it was just people asking about dates! Also, lots of people are asking others to post stats when their stats are already there under the red diamond. Pay attention and be resourceful, people!!! katieliz456 1
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Yah I agree in the chatting in the results search... I figured that's what the discussion board is for!
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 It makes me freak out every time I see a school I applied for... and when it's someone just asking when we should hear I want to scream "search the results!!!!!". But I won't. For now. queenleblanc 1
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Oh man, if USF is really notifying, I will be thinking good thoughts for you, jmarti!!
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I can't tell if they actually are because it's only one submission! But now I actually feel like throwing up.
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Ack, a few more USF postings, jmarti! Really hoping you get the news you have worked so hard to earn!
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Ack, a few more USF postings, jmarti! Really hoping you get the news you have worked so hard to earn! I only see two. But, I have a feeling that since I am not one of them, I didn't make the cut.
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I only see two. But, I have a feeling that since I am not one of them, I didn't make the cut. Only 2 and you are assuming that?!?! Come on! Have more faith! Fingers crossed for you! queenleblanc 1
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Stay positive! I remember you saying that USF was one of your top picks. We are all rooting for you!! :-)
Dutt0058 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I really do hate groupon these days. I work as an SLP for 2 small schools and when I don't have students in with me its hard not to watch admissions non-stop and whenever I get an email my heart skips.
slpf13 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Dutt0058, you are already working as a SLP? so, why are you applying for your master's? Or are you trying to do your PhD? A little confused here... & jmarti keep your head up.. it's not over yet, remember
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 True. Four people have posted admits, and I'm beginning to think I would have heard already. Hard not to think it's anything but over.
speech310 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 True. Four people have posted admits, and I'm beginning to think I would have heard already. Hard not to think it's anything but over. don't lose hope! i thought the same thing when everyone got nyu admits on one day and i didn't hear anything. and then i ended up getting an admittance email a few days later.
midnight Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 don't lose hope! i thought the same thing when everyone got nyu admits on one day and i didn't hear anything. and then i ended up getting an admittance email a few days later. Same for me and UVA. It's not over until it's over!

slpf13 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Has anyone heard from St.John's??? I saw a couple of acceptances from St Johns on the results page today, although I didn't apply there.
