STwannabe15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 No word yet... Getting pretty discouraged. I'm trying to still be hopeful as sometimes 'no news is good news'. Yeah that sounds very stressful about Baylor- I wonder if they realize that other schools are already offering positions to great potential applicants. Seems like they would want to secure good students for their program asap
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Trust me, I dropped a ton of hints when I visited Baylor 2 weeks back. "Yeah I found out about UT Dallas on Sept 21....." GRRR. I think it's cause they accept 11 students so they have to look at everyones application first. Also I hope you find out soon! I'm sure you are close to getting in, they may just be waiting until someone declines the offer. If you haven't gotten rejected yet, there is DEFINITELY still hope.

I've heard of programs accepting 15, but 11 is a small number! What is it about Baylor that attracted you to their program?
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It's only a year long and it's close to home! also, I like that it is a small university. UT is huge and I've felt like a number rather than a person here, so I'm ready to actually know the professors and students!
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Longhorn731: that's just what Dr. Park told me! I had a mini panic attack once he said that.
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 wishingwishing; accepted into Baylor with a 38k scholarship! I accepted my offer and declined UTD, so hopefully this will help you out! ImHis 1
umfaisal Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I joined thegradcafe today! I too have applied to UTD and havent heard anything yet. My overall GPA=3.88, CD GPA= 3.92.. but I have low GRE scores, 141 on each section.. let me know if you hear anything.. I check galaxy a million times a day.
STwannabe15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Woohoo futureslp15! Congrats. One more spot for us UTD hopeful peeps! futureslp15 1
umfaisal Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Congratulations futureslp15!! Hope we all hear back soon!
gronkow2 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Did anyone apply to Truman State University for spring admissions? If so, have you heard back?
wishingwishing Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 futureslp15 - congratulations! And I really mean that for you, not for me. I did the last half of my undergrad at UTD. Before that, I tried to make myself study something for the money instead of the interest, and my grades reflected it. Once I got to UTD I did MUCH better. I've been hoping that committees will overlook my first two years and focus on the resulting turnaround, but my leveling advisor told me that it doesn't always work that way. I think that UTD wants a certain kind of student, and that's not me. Which is fine! I just wish I'd come to that realization sooner.
futureslp15 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks so much! I appreciate it! And did you talk about that in your Statement of Purpose? I feel like they must consider that!! Honestly, I would call/email Dr. Stillman and ask when you will hear by! Maybe it will show that youre really interested in their program!
sparker2011 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Hey everyone! I'm new here and of course losing my mind waiting to hear back from schools. I applied to Appalachian State and University of South Dakota for this spring and I was wondering if there's any way I would be hearing back soon or if I'm even remotely competitive. My stats are: 3.6 GPA, GRE 159 V 153 Q 4.0 Writing, journalism background in the military and lots of observation hours over the required minimum. My worry is that the programs are tiny, USD says they're only accepting around 10!

Your GRE scores are good, there's no set GPA/GRE score that will make you get in. Just make sure you're well rounded in extra curriculars as well. Most schools that I applied to weren't looking for students that had all of their activities that were speech related.

When I called they hadn't given me a time for their review, but they said soon. I'm really hoping that I'm well rounded enough, as most of my experience isn't directly related to the field. Is ASU on your list for spring too? I hope we hear good news!!!
smartypants14 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 does anyone know when Nazareth will be sending out their decisions? or any of the NYC schools?
Suffolk Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 @sparker2011 I just heard back and was accepted! Check your portal!
STwannabe15 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Ah the wait for UTD is still killing me... Does anyone know what day registration is? I thought for sure I'd hear something by yesterday, but my status is still 'under review'... Is anyone still in the same position? Or has anyone else been accepted in the last few weeks?
SLP8180 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) STwannabe, I am still waiting as well. I'm not sure why we haven't heard back yet but when I called they said we should know for sure until mid November ish....the wait is killing me too Edited November 1, 2014 by SLP8180
umfaisal Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I am still waiting to hear back from UTD as well It's killing me
sparker2011 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 @sparker2011 I just heard back and was accepted! Check your portal! Me too!!!!
speechtechy Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Has anyone heard back from Tennessee State for Spring? I haven't been rejected (yet) and just dying to know if there's still any hope! Also, my sympathies to people waiting on UTD decisions...lol...I can relate :/
