Policani Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am anxiously awaiting a decision from Florida Atlantic University speech pathology masters program. Does anybody know how competitive this school is to get accepted? Or when they will be notifying people? My gpa is 3.8 gre v-145 q-150 a-4. I know my verbal gre isn't the best but my quantitative is higher along with my gpa. I really hope I get accepted here!
Rose Garden Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I am anxiously awaiting a decision from Florida Atlantic University speech pathology masters program. Does anybody know how competitive this school is to get accepted? Or when they will be notifying people? My gpa is 3.8 gre v-145 q-150 a-4. I know my verbal gre isn't the best but my quantitative is higher along with my gpa. I really hope I get accepted here! Me too! I met with one of the professors in their program and was told they received almost 400 applications last year. They accept between 20 to 25 students per year, so approximately a 5% to 6% acceptance rate. I'd say their program is competitive because it's small and they get so many applicants. Even Nova, previously known for accepting students with lower GPAs, now has a 3.0 minimum. The competition to get into a program is insane. FAU's GRE minimum scores used to be higher; I think it was 153 for verbal and 149 for Q and 4 for AW. Now their website states that applicants with scores lower than 145 in V and Q aren't likely to be accepted. Also, they no longer consider the AW score in their decision. I don't know what prompted these changes. Anyway, looking at last year's results, applicants began to receive notification around this time and continued on through March. We have to be hearing something soon. Good luck to you! Edited February 25, 2015 by CAD phaedra 1
SLP11111 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 This waiting game is for sure nerve wrecking. I do believe FAU gets a lot of applicants, but the average applicant is slightly less competitive then say FSU or UF. So, I think you have a good shot. Of course, who knows. There is as much luck as skill in these things. You can only put yourself in competition. The rest is out of your hands. Good luck! =)
Policani Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks for the encouragement! I guess all I can do is wait :/
gradschoolhopeful16 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 FAU is my first choice. I don't know how competitive the school is, but I called the office today and was told that decisions will start getting mailed out next week. Best of luck!
Policani Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 What are your stats? Fingers crossed for us both! Are you from Florida?
gradschoolhopeful16 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'm from South Florida. My bachelor's is in communication sciences and disorders with a GPA of 3.9. My GRE verbal is a 157, quantitative is a 156, and writing is a 4. And yes fingers crossed! I feel like I've been waiting ages for a decision lol. Super impatient
elli Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I am also waiting on FAU's notice! I wish I could get in! It is definitely in my top list. My stats: 3.88 GPA, 154V/Q 4AW. I'm from SoFlo and FAU would be a dream. I hope we all get in! It seems like it is an extremely competitive school. Wish you all well.
Rose Garden Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I've heard nothing from FAU yet. I contacted the CSD dept. last week and was informed they plan to send letters out this week. Also, they're having their re-accreditation review this week, which could be delaying things. I'm tired of waiting.
Policani Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 I keep checking my application status and don't see anything change! i just wanna know! Let me know if you hear any updates!
Rose Garden Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Poli, I have done the same thing many, many times. lol I understand how you feel. I'll be sure to let you know if I hear anything.
elli Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 By letters did they mean mailed letters or e-mail? If anyone hears back, please lmk!
gradschoolhopeful16 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I feel like I'm going to explode from the waiting before I hear back. This waiting game is terrible.
gradschoolhopeful16 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ATTENTION ATTENTION FAU HOPEFULS: I called FAU today and was told that acceptances were mailed out yesterday (3/18). The woman I spoke too wasn't entirely sure, but she believes that waitlist letters have not been sent and that rejections will be emailed by the graduate college. Good luck everyone! timberlake 1

Thanks for posting this. Good luck to everyone!
AspiringSLP820 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I still have not received a decision! I'm so anxious. I saw that one person received an acceptance, but does anyone know if rejection emails have been sent out?
slp10 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I haven't heard anything from FAU either. If anyone gets an acceptance, waitlist, or rejection letter/email please let us know thanks guys and good luck!
slp10 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I got waitlisted at FAU. Anyone else get accepted, waitlisted, or rejected?
Rose Garden Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I got waitlisted at FAU. Anyone else get accepted, waitlisted, or rejected? slp10, I have heard nothing. I guess I can expect a rejection. Anyway, I'm happy that you've been waitlisted. I hope you get in.
JB677 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I got waitlisted at FAU. Anyone else get accepted, waitlisted, or rejected? How were you notified?? Email or postal?
gradschoolhopeful16 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I found out I got accepted a week and a half ago by mail and a few days ago by email. Wishing all of you well!
Policani Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 For those accepted, is there a deposit? I was informed there wasn't a deposit for graduate students but if that's the case how do we insure we are accepting our spot in the program?
slp10 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 How were you notified?? Email or postal? Sorry, I just saw this! I found out via email!
