smartypants14 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 is Rush University considered less competitive?
Sunshine5535 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 is Rush University considered less competitive? No I hear its more competitive :-/
sayjo Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 is Rush University considered less competitive? One of my family members went there. It's REALLY competitive.
twinguy7 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I received my first rejection today! It was actually at the school that was the most competitive of all the schools I applied to and it was more my wife's dream school/location. I know it's a rejection, but it was still exciting to be able to cross one off the list! Applying to 15, I wouldn't want to have to decide between more than a few!
ImpulsiveNixie Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Ya I saw that.... That's okay. It wasn't your dream remember.
twinguy7 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 haha thanks! and it's so true. My wife will have a piece of her heart crumble... but she knows I did not want to go there so I think she will understand.
SweetPea21 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) @twinguy... yes, yes it is @ImpulsiveNixie and Sayjo... Looks like you both have two acceptances, CONGRATULATIONS! As I've been watching the result page it has been great to see some success stories showing that stats aren't everything. I love seeing that there are some schools looking beyond the numbers! Though I did all I could to have competitive stats, there are definitely areas where I still fall short. However, it gives me hope and I am grateful for the schools out there that look for students who fit their program and not the stats that fit. I hope you all have been noticing the same and feeling the excitement of pending acceptances in the air. (Okay, stepping off my soap box now ). Best wishes everyone!

ImpulsiveNixie Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Thank you Sweet Pea! It's going to be a tough decision but I am super excited about the individual opportunities. I am one that can honestly say that they look beyond the tests! SweetPea21 1
twinguy7 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Waitlisted at my top choice! FORT HAYS STATE. Given my low GPA, I will take it! Edited March 3, 2014 by twinguy7 caterpillar and SweetPea21 2
DeafAudi Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Congrats, twinguy7! That's something, especially with the high turnover of SLP acceptance offers! Granted someone will turn down their offer and someone on the wait-list, hopefully you, will get in! Edited March 3, 2014 by DeafAudi
Sammehh Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Congrats, twinguy7! Hopefully you'll end up getting in
caterpillar Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Waitlisted at my top choice! FORT HAYS STATE. Given my low GPA, I will take it! Congrats!!
twinguy7 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks @ Dearaudi, Sammehh and Caterpillar! I am confident that if there ARE a lot of declined acceptances that I will come off the waitlist! and if not, they do spring admissions and I think my application might be that much stronger to push me over the edge in spring because it'd be the 2nd try there.
karita Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 @twinguy - Just thought I'd let you know, my profs at GVSU said we won't be hearing anything until late March!! Kind of bummed, wish they would get the ball rolling a little sooner, but oh well!
smartypants14 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 is college of st. rose considered less? What about Portland state?
lululuna Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 It's one of the reasons I am hoping for the Pacific Northwest. I gave been so spoiled in San Diego with all of its craft awesomeness that it's hard to give up going back to the east coast... :-/ When you are an SLP and making the big bucks you must make that trip! Portlander here! Anytime you get a chance to come, I highly recommend it. It is the best place on Earth! =)
DeafAudi Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Sigh. March has not been nice to me so far. I'm not sure if "less competitive" programs exist.

Kind of bummed, wish they would get the ball rolling a little sooner, but oh well! Thanks Karita! I noticed last year it was later in March also.

How are they going to conduct interviews and let us know by April 15?? (The date when most schools wants everyone to decide by...)

(The date when most schools wants everyone to decide by...) Actually, my classmates and I are still confused about whether or not they are doing interviews this year. As of now, I don't think they are, but I do wish they would give us more time to decide. I'm on spring break, but I'll try to find out about interviews when we go back!

Enjoy spring break
Madison. Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I am applying to UO, which is only ranked 45th. It's still pretty competitive though. I know since they dropped their Application Essay many more people are applying this year. Though it makes me wonder about the quality of the applicants...
mheroux92 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I got an email from GVSU asking for an interview-but it's in person. 1,000 miles away...
