uebersetzen Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I guess this is sort of an impossible question, but I've noticed people here recommending applying early to schools that have rolling admissions -- UT Dallas in particular. It's making me nervous because I planned to apply to UTD in mid-August (September 15 deadline). Is this what people mean by "early" or not so much? I am taking a class and would like to include that transcript in my application, and I also have one letter of rec that definitely won't be submitted until August. Any thoughts?
CalChi SLP Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks for bringing this up , I've got the same doubt ! Btw if you don't mind can you please share your stats ? I'm planning to apply to UTD for spring too
uebersetzen Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) They're in my signature but if you're on mobile I think you can't see them? As follows: Out-of-field applicant (my BA is in English and German) Graduated with a 3.5 GRE: 161 verbal + 151 quant Spent 2 years as an English teaching assistant through Fulbright. Now I work with kids with developmental disabilities. I'm applying to UTD and college of st rose for this spring, and if I don't get in I'll just keep plugging along on the prerequisites and working! How about you? Are you applying anywhere else? Edited July 24, 2015 by uebersetzen Maiko 1
CalChi SLP Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Ya I am on my mobile. I'm an international applicant from Mumbai , India. Graduated with a degree in audiology and speech path. GPA - 3.84 horrible GRE - 304. Working at 4 places , two multi rehab centres , one private clinic and one NGO. I'm applying to only Dallas and CSU Fresno .. I really hope I get in .. If I don't I'm going to continue working and apply for fall... And even my applications will go in mid August because of my transcripts.. I really hope it's early enough for UTD it's my dream school You have a great profile .. I'm sure you will get in
lsugirl Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I've already applied for Spring 2016 but also curious about this "Rolling Admissions" does anyone know if the earlier you apply the better? Anxiously waiting.... best of luck to everyone!
uebersetzen Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Good luck, lsugirl! I'm hoping to submit everything next week but still waiting on recommendations to be submitted. When did you apply? I'm interested to hear how long it takes to hear a decision. I've heard of UTD being kinda slow on the notifications
uebersetzen Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Oh wow! Shoot, that's a long wait already Did you apply anywhere else?
lsugirl Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 No I haven't! Out of my top schools this is the only one that starts in Spring...so I will just see and then go from there!
statsLOWpassionHIGH Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I also am very interested in UT Dallas for the spring 2016 but am very concerned with how competitive it may be. Do they ask for a GRE score? What are "rolling admissions"? Does any one have a contact that would help?
uebersetzen Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Rolling admissions just means that they consider applications as they come in, rather than after a certain deadline. Theoretically, I guess. So theoretically, it would be better to apply earlier because they could have filled almost all the spots by the deadline of September 15. I just submitted everything to UTD today (though still waiting on letters of rec......), and I am visiting next week! So fingers crossed!
mr479 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Hey, uebersetzen, ich dachte, das hier würde dich vielleicht interessieren. :-) http://jshd.pubs.asha.org/article.aspx?articleid=1742840&resultClick=1
mr479 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Entschuldige. Du musst dich anmelden, um das lesen zu können. Aber es lohnt sich, wenn du dein CCCs beantragst. Dann bekommst du eine Ermässigung, wenn du als Student schon bei ASHA angemeldet bist.
uebersetzen Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Hey cool, das wäre ja lesenswert! Ich schau es mal durch, obwohl mein Deutsch ist schon ziemlich eingerostet danke! mr479 1
uebersetzen Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 I met with Dr Stillman this morning and he said they're hoping to make decisions for spring 2016 in mid September, just so everyone who has applied is aware! He was very kind and seemed very approachable and understanding of the stress of finding a good fit for grad school.
lsugirl Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 @uebersetzen what does your online portal say? I check mine literally everyday... :/
uebersetzen Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 @lsugirl all it says is that my application is complete (I think). Is that what yours says?I believe I am STILL waiting on a couple of letters from professors... I should probably check in on that. But, like I said, Dr Stillman told me he would be making decisions in mid september, then finalizing everything in the beginning of october! Which in my opinion makes the whole process not realllly rolling admissions, haha. But thats mostly a bummer for people like you who applied so early!! Shoot!

uebersetzen Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 @lsugirl I actually for the life of me cannot remember my NetID.... lol. So I haven't checked it in a while! Do you think they'll email/call or will notifications be via Galaxy? My letters didn't get submitted until right before September 15 so I assumed I wouldn't hear anything until at least October.
lsugirl Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 @uebersetzen I've heard of them doing either..best of luck!
CalChi SLP Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 UTD applicants - Has anyone heard from them ? Or has anyone contacted the university/department?
lsugirl Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 @CalChi SLP haven't heard anything...but getting very anxious
