Umlaut Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I see. Thank you for the information. Guess we'll just have to wait a little longer than we originally planned for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckSLPplease Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hello - I have applied to CSULA, CSULB, CSUN, and NOVA (hybrid) out of FL. GPA: 3.79 GRE (warning low quant score lol) v154, q144 (eek) a3 Status: Only have heard from CSULA (where I currently attend finishing my certificate courses). Feb 21st got an email for a personal interview March 14th. Anyone heard from any other schools? Anyone have any insight about interview prep? Looking forward to hearing from others!

SLPH2b Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I emailed the director like it said in the email. He said everyone gets sent to the regular application pool who did not get accepted. IT does mean we still have a chance but I was also told that there are the same amount of apps that come in for the reg app pool so its still a smaller chance. I hope we are still considered and not completely forgotten despite being pushed into the regular application pool. At least it wasn't a flat-out rejection from the early pool, so that's a good thing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartypants14 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I applied to CSULB and got rejected by checking the portal. I think all the schools in California wont start letting us know about decisions till about April. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, no one from CSULB has been informed of an acceptance/rejection before the interview process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeener687 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Does anybody know if CSULB will send out any more invitations to interview? I know that they accept a lot of their own, like many CSUs ( I don't know anybody who got into CSULB last year), but I am really interested in their program because of their bilingual emphasis. I guess I am just so depressed by the whole process. I'm happy for people who get accepted, but I can't help but feel this sinking, scary feeling that it's not gonna happen for me. I don't think my stats are bad (3.09 Undergrad GPA (ick, I was immature), 3.9 CSD GPA, 165V, 154Q, 4.0AW, trilingual, study-abroad experience, and volunteer experience in a top-rated rehab hospital and in a speech-language clinic). I know that I will I make an awesome SLP, but I just don't know if I've proved it to the programs to which I've applied. I am still bitter about not getting in last year, and I just can't face another round of rejections. It will eat me alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting super nervous about the CSULA interview, I'll be there the same day as you. Haven't heard anything about what the interview is like but I'm so nervous about specific questions related to certain disorders, anatomy, etc. I too am really interested in CSULB's special cohort and am axiously awaiting a response from them. I have heard mixed things about some people already being notified. Good luck on the interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an interview last year (I was wait listed ), and they mainly asked a lot of situational questions. It was similar to a job interview in a lot of ways. It felt relaxed, although I was still super nervous! I was expecting other types of questions. I'm not sure if they'll use the same approach this year, but I hope that helps!

As it gets closer and closer I'm practicing what I'll say to certain questions, lol it's a little obessesive. Let me know if you hear from Long Beach. Did they have a writing portion last year as well? I'm not sure if that is new. That part doesn't worry me as much bc I usually do well with writing, but the on the spot questions has me nervous.

SLPH2b Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I see that most people are hearing back from UOP (my first choice!!). If any of you guys that were accepted to UOP or waitlisted, would you mind sharing your stats? Thanks :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Not that I think there'll be any word before the end of March, but my husband's status in MySJSU changed from 'Complete' to 'Referred to Grad Dept' some time between last week and today.

dial1010usa Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are CSU's will be the last one to send their acceptances? Any ideas from last year? Anyone know or applied to UNR when they notify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argandoc Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 UNR will notify the 3rd or 4th week of March, after Spring break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are CSU's will be the last one to send their acceptances? Any ideas from last year? Anyone know or applied to UNR when they notify? Typically, yes. My husband applied to East Bay last year - they waitlisted him on April 10th, and rejected him (only after he emailed to inquire) on May 24th. You can check the history in the results page for the other schools but it seems like they all notified much later than the non-CSU schools.

I practice questions, too! Lol I hope people assume I have Bluetooth in my car! They had the writing portion last year, but the prompt was unrelated to SLP. It was pretty simple. Plus, they had doughnuts and coffee I had an issue with LB and my app because of a transcript they kept requesting, so I sent it twice, and they didn't even need it! So my app was barely cleared and referred to the dept. So I'm kinda giving up on it at this point. Oh well :/ Is your interview in the morning or the afternoon? Mine is early. Good luck!

Yes I've been practicing in the shower, in the car, etc lol. I've had a quite an experience with the transcripts myself! I actually missed the CSUF deadline bc I sent my transcripts to the school and didn't realize I had to send them to the CSDCA place until it was too late. Oh well. A classmate of mine told me she had an interview at Long Beach this past Saturday, so I dk what's going on there. I have an afternoon interview at CSULA, 3pm, so i'll miss you if yours is earlier in the morning. BUt good luck and hopefully we'll be in the CSULA program together!

ZIGGY Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Has anybody heard anything from CSUN, CSULA, Chapman, or CSULB? I (pretty obviously) applied to those schools & more, but I haven't been contacted for an interview at CSULB or CSULA ...which really scares me. I'm going insane waiting for responses! I know I'm not alone too! I just wanna knowww! Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm not alone too! I just wanna knowww! Good luck, everyone! I know CSULA held their interview already. I'm not sure about CSULB or CSUN (I didn't apply to any of the CSUs). I also applied to Chapman and I have not heard from them yet. I know from speaking to those who have applied to Chapman last year that they do hold an interview. I am a little worried since I have not been contacted yet and it seems to be a little late for interviews now since it is already mid March. I am planning on calling/emailing Chapman to check on my status. I will keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if an interview is necessary for admission. You can see if anything is updated on their graduate admission portal. My friend also had an interview at Chapman before the CSULB one, but I am not sure of anything else regarding Chapman (they may still be scheduling interviews). Good luck! I am sure you'll hear some good news soon. California schools are always a bit slower which stinks for the nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIGGY Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nik24 -- thanks for the info. I heard that some people got rejected from CSULB, however I'm still in limbo, which is giving me SOME hope. But, it's hard to hold onto. Let me know if you call chapman! I never know if I should contac schools or not because most say not to. I checked on the chapman portal for my admissions status & it says, "Decision Pending". Haven't gotten contacted for an interview but did do the supplemental application ...so maybe there's still hope there! Yancey -- thanks for the info too. I've been checking on the portals for each school almost every day but still no news! I'll get not worried if people start receiving acceptances & I haven't heard anything at all.

I'm at CSULB now taking pre-requisite courses and I'm pretty certain the interviews/rejections that have happened were for the special cohort only. Still waiting for any updates regarding the Traditional M.A. program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman has a portal?? I thought it was a CSDCAS application? I submitted my supplemental packet as well but I was emailed or contacted about a student portal.
