NYU and NYC/NJ area schools

[slpgal123]

I'm planning on commuting too which took me about an hour yesterday when I left during non-rush hours. If the commute becomes too much, I'll look into housing which Eileen said she is happy to help people with if they need some advice. Fortunately though, she said in our fall semester we'll only be taking classes which most people have 3 days a week (I hope!) which would be very doable. Then in the second semester, most people begin working in the on-campus clinic where you're assigned 1 or 2 patients to work with. They also have group therapy sessions for kids and adults. They currently have 99 patients visiting the clinic from ages 16 months to 91 years-old which people pay for but at a reduced rate because it's a teaching facility. There is a guy in a booth where you can swipe your student ID to park in the lot which is free. If you wanted to park on the main campus which is about a mile away to go to the gym, financial aid office, etc. I believe you would need a parking permit. But I've also heard that there is a shuttle that runs from the clinic to the main campus so it really looks like you shouldn't have to pay for parking at all! Here is the link to our Montclair Facebook group again: http://www.facebook.com/groups/130556483797805/ if mystique or slpgal want to join! Mystique, congrats on making your decision on Montclair! I hope ald360 and I talked you into it yesterday

 

Wow.. an hour is rough! I give you credit for trying that haha. Hmmm only 3 days a week? That would be super wonderful, and definitely make commuting make more sense. The girl who I got a tour with said most people don't have classes Friday, and that she's had class 4 days a week the last 2 semesters. When I talked to her she told me the courses she took first semester, and now I wish I had written them down haha oops. But I thought that "Diag in Spch-Lang Path" (CSND - 512) might have been one of the ones she said, and that course is listed as being on Friday.... sooo I'm a little scared that I'll end up with class 5 days a week but we'll see!

For those going to/considering going to Montclair, do you plan on commuting or does anyone plan on finding a place around there?

I'm planning on commuting for at least a couple semesters!

Where do you see that class as being on Fridays?

Where do you see that class as being on Fridays?

If you log into your WESS account, there's a place to search courses for the Fall. And you can see a list of all of the CSD courses offered, and that one course I mentioned is listed as being on Fridays. I'm just hoping we don't have to take that first semester because that's really the only Friday one I saw haha.

Ahh, thanks! Have you received any word about your financial aid package for Montclair?

[slpgal123]

Nope, nothing. Unless you count the estimated payment that's on our WESS accounts. I feel like everyone just gets a loan though, and that's unfortunately probably it for the "financial aid" we'll receive haha.

Not even work-study though?

[slpgal123]

Hmmm I'm really not sure. I guess it's possible! I feel like I've heard that not much work study is given out, but I'm really not positive in any shape or form haha. So maybe work study could be on there .

That would be pretty generous..Montclair's tuition is so cheap already that I'm not really concerned at all! I was preparing myself financially for NYU before and this is just the complete opposite of that situation 

[slpgal123]

So true! Montclairs tuition is dirt cheap in comparison. I wonder what the total numbers will end up being. Sounds like people get placed in a different number of credits depending on prereqs/what they need. Since I haven't taken neuro, pretty sure I'll be in 5 courses but we'll see!

[mystiqueSLP]

Do you know if the cost of pre-reqs is considered the same as graduate credit even though they're usually undergrad courses?

[slpgal123]

Hmmm good question. Unfortunately I think the cost is the same. Since Montclair doesn't have an CSD undergrad, any courses that are taken for CSD I imagine is through the graduate program. So I'm pretty sure the cost will be the same.

seems like mostly everyone on this thread is going to Montclair!! (no, I'm not. I didn't apply there...lol)

[mystiqueSLP]

I sent an email declining my offer at NYU even though I sent my deposit already and afterwards, my mom was like, "why did you decline already?? What if Montclair doesn't receive your deposit in time??" so now I'm really worried that might happen now :/ I sent it through overnight mail on Thursday so I hope it gets there on time!

It was sent on Thursday of last week?

From what I remember, you don't live so far from Montclair. So I think you'll be fine

Haha my mom keeps telling me I should call and confirm they got my deposit! Apparently our moms are on the same page, and are making us a little nervous. I'm sure we're just being paranoid though lol

[slpgal123]

So weird, I just got an email from Tishonda Jones from Seton Hall saying that they reviewed my 3 syllabi and they fulfill the requirements. Except this is from like 1.5 months ago, and still no word on an admissions decision. I wonder if I'll ever here back lol

Thursday of this week and it's due the 22nd :/ I live about 20 mins away so it's not too bad. I considered handing it in person but I was worried that might mess up the process and I also had to get back to school for classes. I also RSVPed on their decisions website with the code enclosed in the letter so hope that makes up for my deposit possibly arriving late.

My check went through yesterday so I'm now able to be confident that it went through .

 

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I've heard back from just about every school I applied to, except for William Paterson. Its been over 10 weeks now since I applied. I've seen/talked to some people who have already gotten decisions, so I don't know where that leaves me. Even if it's a rejection, I'd still like to hear some kind of answer. Has this happened to anyone else?

[BlarneyStone87]

Checked my portal for Temple today and finally a decision was made: Rejected. So thankful I was accepted to other schools, but Temple would have been so close! Finally heard from all of my schools and now instead of being 99% sure I'm going to Montclair I can say I'm a 100% sure. The one good thing about it is not having to suffer between picking between my two top choices

[MBF89]

I also have not heard from William Patterson (or LIU Brooklyn and Seton Hall). I have already sent a deposit for Kean but I agree, I would still like to hear decisions from these schools since we spent all this time and money on these applications!

I too have not yet heard from Seton Hall in terms of a decision. They sent me an email saying my application is incomplete, including a checklist. Everything on the checklist was marked as received...so i was confused, to say the least. In any case, my final decision is made. I just would like to hear from my remaining schools because, as you said, paid so much in application fees, transcript ordering, etc.
