SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Share 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!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREs are way too expensive to keep re-taking and it's hard to come back from a low GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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. queenleblanc, katieliz456 and sugarmilk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuck Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenleblanc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yah I agree in the chatting in the results search... I figured that's what the discussion board is for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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!

Dutt0058 Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPjmar Posted March 6, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
