whoami24601 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Does anyone know how big the pool was this year (or in past years) for Montclair? Or at least the acceptance rate statistics? I can't seem to find anything online...

I can't seem to find anything online... this is what i found on the asha site http://www.asha.org/edfind/details.aspx?id=1705 74 admissions offers out of 456 applicants?
whoami24601 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks so much @rbrf ! Exactly what I was looking for.
foreveryoung91 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Has anyone else not had their status change online? Mine still says "Application Under Review" ... I'm getting so impatient!!!
laylabug Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Mine just changed this morning at 7:22am with a decision letter coming in the mail. While I am trying to remain optimistic, it seems that they already notified a number of people of acceptances via email, followed by a letter. It's getting difficult to remain hopeful.
whoknows14 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Happy to see all the buzz about Montclair's program, congrats to everyone! I'm in my second semester at Montclair and this was the exact thing that I was wondering about last year. It's a cohort-based program, so even with a speech background it'll still take the 2.5 years. This means you'll get 3 on-site clinic semesters as well as two semesters of off-site externships. If you have any questions let me know =) Random question...I will be a commuter this fall and was wondering whether all your classes are in the speech building or on actual campus?
BlarneyStone87 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) All of the classes are in the speech building fortunately! The speech building is about 2 miles from the main campus and we have free parking. You just swipe your card at the gate and you walk in...it's great I commute about 60 miles to school. It seems like most people live within 30 minutes but there are a few other crazy people like me who commute long distances. I get on exit 91 on the parkway and get off at exit 151 and you're there. It's not a bad commute when I have afternoon classes but when I have class at 8:30 or 9, traffic can be hell. On those days, I leave almost 2 hours early to make sure I get there on time. Some days the traffic's not too bad, and other days it's terrible. You just never know! Edited April 5, 2014 by BlarneyStone87

Props to you. I've never traveled that far for school so it'll definitely be a new experience for me. Thank you thank you for the info

plmgis Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 A question for current students (or even prospective students, if you happen to know).. How do the graduate assistantships work? What do you do, who do you work with, how does the application process work, etc? Any info is appreciated info thank you!
BlarneyStone87 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 As far as I know, all you do is check the box that you are interested in a GA position. They will contact people they are interested in and conduct interviews in the summer. I didn't get an interview, but from the few people I know who went through the interview process, they said it was very daunting and then they didn't get it and were bummed. I do know a few people who did get the positions. They bring you in a room with 6 or more faculty members who each need a GA for their area of research interest (ex. speech science research, language assessment research, clinic helper, etc). They ask you questions and then they choose approximately 6 GA spots
