SLPjmar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm thinking positive thoughts for you! Thanks! I guess I didn't realize how much of a long-shot it was until I started reading on here. I am bracing for a rejection, although I wish I had an acceptance to cushion it with. Actually, since I've started posting on here, I am getting the impression I am not a competitive enough candidate anywhere I applied. Not quite sure how to handle it.

SLPjmar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Don't give up yet! I am highly doubting that they call each and every accepted student... these are probably grand/fellowship recipients... Did you receive a call? I am hoping you were the one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieliz456 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Did you receive a call? I am hoping you were the one HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i wish! nope, just noticed that the 2 posts today were both contacted via phone. I feel like that is pretty unusual, and it looks like last year everyone was contacted via the online app system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks! I guess I didn't realize how much of a long-shot it was until I started reading on here.

Actually, since I've started posting on here, I am getting the impression I am not a competitive enough candidate anywhere I applied. Not quite sure how to handle it. Yeah, it didn't really boost my confidence to read the hard facts about Boulder in that other thread, even though I knew it was hypercompetitive when I applied. However, as katieliz mentioned, the UNC phone call acceptances are unusual. I really believe they have to do with funding or other special considerations. I know that doesn't help much, but those acceptances in no way mean you aren't a strong candidate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagisan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Anyone else apply at the University of Georgia? Does anyone know when they typically send out results? Thanks! UGA applicant here. Judging by the admission results page here, it looks like early - mid March. I may lose my mind by then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieliz456 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 oh, and i definitely meant GRANT, not grand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenleblanc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No notification from UNC for me either -- not on application status online either, still says "submitted." I'm thinking that the early notifications are something special, maybe a scholarship or assistantship. I agree with the analysis on last year's results having one person post results about a week before everyone else. Holding on to hope.... for now!!!!

badgerina Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I was sitting in class today and I heard two girls complaining that the UW Madison letters were taking so long...I felt so horrible since I'm fairly certain all the acceptance and waitlist emails went out, and only rejections are left For only having 28 days, February sure is a long month...

Speechpathlove7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey Everyone! I am new to this thread but I just wanted to say good luck to you all!! You all sound like lovely people and I know that good things are coming to each one of you! I hope to hear back from more schools soon :/ I'm trying to match up my schools with my long term and long distance boyfriend of four years. I'm praying we get into the same school (that is why my schools are all over the map hahah). He is going for aerospace engineering (the what now?) so we will see! Again, good luck to all of you!!

Coolj Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 UGA applicant here. Judging by the admission results page here, it looks like early - mid March. I may lose my mind by then... Agreed. I have no idea how competitive UGA is or what they are looking for in an applicant so it makes it that more nerve-wrecking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speechpathlove7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats on UMD-College Park! I am in MD now for undergrad, and that is a great/competitive program. Good for you! Aw, thank you very much! I have never been to UMD-College Park let alone the state of Maryland but from the photos online it looks really pretty! Any insights about what the professors are like and the atmosphere? Coming from Iowa it is very competitive all the time and a little too intense for me.. I don't like competing - I'd much rather enjoy my time and learn from those around me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPjmar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 College Park isn't really a competitive program once you're in. It becomes so competitive application-wise because there are only 2 public schools in the state of Maryland that offer a SLP program. That being said, I have heard nothing but positive reviews about the program. The professors are great and you get a wonderful education. Additionally, since College Park is such a great school, you have wonderful clinical opportunities. I have been to College Park many times, and I personally feel like it's great. Everyone there is academically-driven (it's competitive even at the undergrad level), but everyone has a good time, too. You are also very close to D.C., which is a personal preference kind of thing. If you are seriously considering it, I would recommend a visit. But once it's warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speechpathlove7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That is great advice - Thanks for everything! I definitely want to visit before making any final decisions! It is definitely on my short list. I personally would love being so close to D.C. especially after being in a less urban area for so long. And it is good to know they aren't crazy competitive within the program to the point they aren't nice - so that's good.

Speechpathlove7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats!!! Would you mind posting your stats? I still haven't heard from Umaryland yet.... Hey sure! I'm that obnoxiously long post that starts with 'oh my goodness' in the results section (I kinda freaked out). GPA: 3.68 Major GPA: 3.67 GRE: 152/151/4 (verbal, quant, writing) As I said in my long note portion on the results page I completed a research honors thesis with Dr. Kirk at Iowa who was ASHAs president of research for a long time and invented the MLNT (a multi-modal speech perception test), and I was president of the Panhellenic council at Iowa (president of the governing council of the sorority community of 1500 women) along with other random facts that probably helped me out more so than my stats honestly. Good luck to you!! I hope you hear from them soon!! fleetfox19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpdream Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hello All, Just found this site tonight and decided to join in. I'm an in-major applicant - applied to 8 schools. UNC - Chapel Hill, Gallaudet, IUP, EUP, Bloomsburg, Clarion, WCU, and ESU. I've applied mostly in PA (where I live) to save on tuition. Like most of you (I assume), I am anxiously awaiting decisions and trying not to go crazy and fill my head with negative what-ifs. Best of luck to all!

cnc__ Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Do you already have your pre-reqs done? He's finishing up his second BA in CSD so I was at least heartened to see that he should hear back in early April, rather than late like the 3 year people. It's still such a long wait, though! I'm almost finished with my pre-reqs. I would love to get into EB but Pacific is my #1 for their accelerated program. I went to the open house and I was very impressed.
