lgwslp Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I know right, i think the same thing. If only people had told me I need a 4.0 to get into school. BUT don't lose hope. I also graduated with a 3.46 and have gotten an acceptance, and wait lists, as well as have 3 more schools to hear from. It's not always the GPA - and sometimes it helps to find schools that look at more than just the numbers, and especially those that do interviews. It tells a lot!! You just have to find the right fit for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emikate51 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's almost April! Only a few more weeks until the deadline then hopefully we'll all get some good news! I know I'm definitely praying for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoknows14 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hopefully we will get atleast one acceptance!! There is still hope! I really think its my 3.4 GPA. but it is comprised of all core classes and I did not know what I was doing until my junior year! FML If only I could do it all over again. I'm sure you will get in!!!!! I know exactly how that feels. Good luck to you. Edited March 31, 2014 by whoknows14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollypaget Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just got my first rejection. I expected to get rejected from that school though so it's almost a relief to just KNOW for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mheroux92 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Aaaaaand another waitlist today. Geez. I could be (at this point) in one of three states this coming fall. Four if you count home as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Petrillo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Still waiting....but I guess that's what happens when you only apply to 1 program, lol! 2nd round goes out starting April 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie2323 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Shopping for a Spring wardrobe is my new obsession because I have no control over this process anymore Just neeeed one.. The mailman must think i'm a troll...as soon as he drops off the mail, I run out of my garage, down to the mailbox and then I disappear until the next day when the mail arrives again lol - I wish I worked earlier because I'd have to wait. AND everything comes through email anyway, so what? am i doing. Figured I'd share a little bit of my want-to-be SLP life.

AND everything comes through email anyway, so what? am i doing. Figured I'd share a little bit of my want-to-be SLP life. I hear you lady, shopping is my therapy also. I thought it would be easier this second time applying but it's not, it's actually worse. My mailman knows me all too well for the same reason and I admittedly have said some really bad words while waiting for him growl on my face,lurking out the window, being extremely upset for being an hour late. Yikes! You are right though we have no control over it and no matter what happens we will be okay. I know because I was devasted last year after being rejected to all of my schools and I actually booked a flight to a random place (Seattle) the night of my final rejection and I cried for hours camouflaging myself in the rain. I know dramatic right! But seriously I ended up okay, better than okay and it proved that I had a lot more perseverance and strength that I gave myself credit for. I also now have had some amazing experiences within the field that I wouldnt trade for anything. It WILL happen it just might take longer than others but if that happens it will be so much sweeter because you had to work that much harder. I wish you luck. I wish us both luck, as I sit with you in the same boat.

Stephanie2323 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 lolol I swear the mail people come whenever they want! They had it coming Aww, that sounds like a sad story (from a movie lol), but I bet it felt good to let it out! Perhaps I should start checking flights... I once had a roommate who told me that it's poisonous not to cry. I feel the same way, this whole process brings out our strength and shows how resilient we really are! I love your outlook on this past year, thats really nice and definitely part of the journey. I applied last year to two programs and realized the obstacles I would need to overcome.. just hope I did that! Agreed, after all of this torture an acceptance is going to feel amazing, and we will be even more grateful. We will get in! it's not over yet and there is still hope- hanging on until the very end. we can do it Thank you and good luck! JBOTCH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthritiskid Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Did anyone get the admissions update from Western Michigan? It confused me a little because I can't tell whether they implied a wait list or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mheroux92 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I got it, and I'd like to think it's a waitlist, since they've sent out both rejections (postal) and acceptances (email) so that leaves the rest of us who haven't heard anything.

mheroux92 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 But I may be wrong about the WMU email, apparently it's a "we don't know what to do with you" one. And apparently Michigan State said if you haven't heard, you're in the "we don't know what to do with you" boat. Eastern Michigan, the last school I'm waiting on, started sending stuff today, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltroy Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Got another rejection today... That makes 3 rejections and 1 wait list for me. Still have to hear back from WCU and NCCU. It stings to get rejected, but I'm honestly just so happy I have a solid plan B that it doesn't get me too upset. It might take me another year or so, but I won't let this get in the way of my dream!

mheroux92 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I spent almost the whole day without thinking about grad school and where I'd be going. I think at this point I have other things to focus on and that's helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristineM2012 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Does anyone happen to know how Gallaudet does their letters? Been rejected from 6, wait listed at one and waiting on Gallaudet. It seems they sent out their acceptances, then rejections and now... La la land?? So confused if they send them out in waves now or what, but I'm hoping for some good news, very soon! Good luck to everyone! This process is too stressful Arcanelady27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
