STwannabe15 Posted October 21, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureslp15 Posted October 21, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishingwishing Posted October 22, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureslp15 Posted October 22, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparker2011 Posted October 23, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that the programs are tiny, USD says they're only accepting around 10! I just spoke to ASU yesterday, they're looking over apps next week. They also accept around 10 students. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STwannabe15 Posted November 1, 2014 Share 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?
