QS05 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Nope, no news yet. Starting to wonder whats going on and if they already accepted their 1st wave of applicants...
bailey618 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Hmm maybe.. I feel like they should notify everyone and just let us no what's going on!
kmp533 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks so much!! Did you hear back yet? Or where are you thinking about going?!
Stephanie2323 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Posted April 7, 2014 This is taking foreverrrr. Has anyone been rejected from this program yet???
QS05 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 This is taking foreverrrr. Has anyone been rejected from this program yet??? I know people who have received rejections from Seton Hall via mail. It seems like they are making phone calls for acceptances and rejecting through mail. However, I don't know where that leaves those of us who haven't heard! Either we haven't received the rejection letter yet or they are one of the schools that sends out their 1st wave of acceptances and see what replies they get and then notify more people.
Stephanie2323 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Hmmm.. I live like 30 minutes from Seton Hall. Do you know when the received the letters? I really hope it's the case of sending out the acceptance in very small waves! I feel like soo few were accepted, from what it looks like on gradcafe, they can't be finished yet! They are taking such a long time though.
QS05 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 From the days they received their letters it seemed that Seton Hall sent them out on different days. They all live fairly close and received them on different days. I also live close but have not gotten anything.
Stephanie2323 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 I'm really hoping this means something good!!!
bailey618 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I emailed the department and they told me that the decision process is still in review and that everyone should be hearing from them within the next two weeks! Ugh, so long!

Ugh, so long! Thanks for sharing! That is long but hopefully we'll be hearing soon Is this your first choice?
Stephanie2323 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 Two weeks, okay thats not so terrible... I can live on hope for two more weeks lol Thanks for the update!! Seton Hall come on come on accept us. (thats my chant) or maybe its a demand.. I need to write LOCI and I feel like I am applying all over again. sucks.
calg1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I didn't apply to seton hall because I don't have all the prerequisites finished, do any of you know if I could've applied without completing them? I mean I spoke to someone who told me I need to complete them before I intend to start, but some people I have talked to said they applied even though they haven't finished them. Anyone know?
Stephanie2323 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I applied and I think I am missing one prerequisite. I just figured I'll take it in the spring or summer, if I can. I haven't been accepted or rejected yet. So, I'm really not sure what to make of it. I mean, I really don't think it's that big of a deal if you have to take a few while or before starting grad level classes, but I'm sure if they are comparing my app. To someone else's who has them completed they will prob choose them? Unless they were just being strict on the site... Or if they really like you. I didn't apply to some programs for this very reason also. It's definitely understandable, but I would call to find out! Someone got accepted yesterday. Wish they would call. I'm afraid to get the mail ugh.
Stephanie2323 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 I just want to share something positive that I have just realized! Because it is taking seton hall a while to send out acceptances, applicants are probably choosing other programs to attend. And that's good for us!! Staying positive!
argslp Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Anyone still anxiously waiting? I am... I already accepted an offer elsewhere, but I just want to know!
Stephanie2323 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 lol I wish I could say the same! I have a good feeling about Seton Hall, and I think we should know by next week!! ah. Do you mind sharing your stats? It looks like you got into a lot of NJ programs that I've been wait listed at. Just looking for advice, in-case I have to reapply next year. Thanks so much!
QS05 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I'm still waiting to hear from Seton Hall as well! I think I saw someone post that they have 10 days to make a decision once they receive the packet. This makes me assume that they are not following the April 15th deadline but they started to let people know of acceptances a few weeks ago so your estimate of knowing by next week might be correct!
argslp Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 lol I wish I could say the same! I have a good feeling about Seton Hall, and I think we should know by next week!! ah. Do you mind sharing your stats? It looks like you got into a lot of NJ programs that I've been wait listed at. Just looking for advice, in-case I have to reapply next year. Thanks so much! My out-of-major GPA for my freshman and sophomore years in the Honors Program at Montclair State University was 3.65. I transferred to Stockton to major in speech pathology and currently have a GPA of 3.94. I took the GRE twice and my highest scores were 155 verbal, 153 quantitative, and 4.0 analytical writing. I had four strong letters of recommendation from speech/linguistics professors at Stockton, which I sent to various schools depending on deadlines and requirements. My resumé is packed with related experience and observation hours. I also have a very strong personal statement that tells my story and explains my best qualities but still answers all of the questions that admissions panels may want to know about me. I applied to twelve schools because I didn't expect to get in anywhere, and receiving so many offers was a bit shocking. In the end, it's about how well you match up with the schools that you are applying to. I really did my research for each school and tailored my personal statements to prove that I knew specific details about the schools and faculties, their research and clinical focuses, and the opportunities that they have available. I think that including this information and relating it all to myself and my interests made me seem like a good fit at each school, which is why I received so many admission offers, interviews, and wait list seats. If you want to see specific details from my statements, resumé, and a recommendation to compare them to yours, send me a private message and I will be happy to share them with you!
flnjslp Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I already accepted an offer at my top choice but now I just want to know!
