Maybe mention that you've enjoyed taking your prereqs there? I didn't see this until later and I already sent it out Oh well, at least they'll receive my response soon then.. 18 hours ago, koalalover1 said: Yay! I'm glad that your application got straightened out! Guess we'll be waiting until April 15th! Yesss. I'm still holding out for PSU and Syracuse though. The waiting is torture!!
rzilby Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Do you guys think it would be safe to say I'm rejected from Queens College if I haven't received an interview offer by now? My friend also got a call from MGH tonight regarding an acceptance, and my application still says "being reviewed" in the portal, so should I assume that's a rejection too? I'm starting to get nervous because I haven't gotten a single acceptance out of 12 schools. Makes me wonder if my stats are worse than I thought.. But I don't even know what I can do to raise them since I've already graduated. I've taken the GRE twice and scored the same on verbal both times, and only got 1 point higher on math. My writing score did go up as I was more prepared for the essays this time. But other than continuing to get good grads with my pre-req, I'm not sure what else to do to improve if I don't get accepted. I think I panic a little more each passing day...
speechie0312 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Has anyone heard anything besides acceptances from Rush? I submitted the supplemental app but haven't heard anything since. I know that they did the supplemental app in waves so a part of me is hoping the might be doing acceptances that way too. Either way I'd just like to know one way or the other.

Please don't give up hope! There is definitely a program out there for you and you WILL find your way into it! As for MGH, I have seen in the past on the results page that they offer people through the phone in waves and that people get emails saying they were accepted. I have been accepted by phone and my portal hasn't changed. I think the professor said everything should update by Monday. There will be good that comes out of this! Just hold out for it! rzilby 1

I just feel kind of sick from stress tonight after seeing my friend's post on facebook that she was accepted. I'm really happy for her and she absolutely deserves it, but it scares me because we took the same courses, had a similar GPA I think, and had one LOR in common. We both even transferred the same year. I wasn't able to participate in research because I was a commuter and had 18 credits the semester they started looking for RAs, so I'm wondering if that hurt my chances at schools. I also interned at a clinic, but don't have any observation hours. Most places I contacted didn't respond, and other places were just too far away. If I don't get in, I'm not sure what I can do a third year out from college to improve my chances. I'm currently doing pre-reqs and I work as an ESL teacher. I'm absolutely dreading a third year in a row of going through this process. If I found this website sooner, I would have checked out which programs weren't as popular and tried for those, or looked for places that take lower GPAs or more out of field students. But I'll be looking out for that e-mail. I guess the worst that happens is I hold on to see if I'm taken off the waitlist for UWEC or if another school accepts me. It's just scary watching my options dwindle down After spending a year doing an internship, paying out of my savings for a CELTA certificate to be able to teach, working to boost my resume, and doing the prereqs, I feel really down about this process.
EESpeechie Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Just got my first rejection to University of Washington. That stung a lot since it was my number 1 choice by a landslide luckily, I have one acceptance on the table and still have yet to hear back from other schools. It's just really disheartening to get rejected from a program that you think is perfect for you

Did you apply to Core or Med? I'm just telling myself it was because I was out of state, and it makes me a feel a lot better.

Maybe the program that accepted you will turn out to be a pleasant surprise though. I think once the stress of waiting for decisions to come is over, it'll be easier to see the positive aspects of that program and find things you'd be excited about there. Hang in there!

Feeling this. I'm a second time applicant. I've been in the field since 2005 (Speech language pathology assistant).. And last year I was straight up rejected; I was so shocked. That's a long story in itself. Basically they didnt even look at my app So I improved my prereq marks (only thing really lagging in my application) and applied to more schools (I live in Canada. Options are VERY limited up here). But I am so, so, so terrified that I'm still not going to get in & there's really not much more I can do besides take a ton more courses that I don't need. I'm 31 this year and I feel very overwhelmed by the thought of not being successful in pursuing my career Anyway.. Just commiserating

It's just really disheartening to get rejected from a program that you think is perfect for you Congrats on your acceptance that is "on the table." Sorry about your rejection to UW - but just think - you are going to study SLP where you are meant to study SLP. You will be where you are meant to be. I know that sounds silly and somewhat Zen, but I was accepted to the UW MedSLP program, and yet I doubt we (my family) can finance it. So bittersweet. Nobody on this forum should feel bad about a denial. 1 hour ago, bomstarz said: Ay I feel you... I thought maybe I'd get waitlisted or something but they just rejected me.

Out-of-state might have an impact, but I am out-of-state as are others who have been accepted, so who knows? Honestly, no SLP major should beat themselves up about not being accepted to any program, no matter how high or low on the "list." We are a part of a VERY competitive major. More competitive than many majors that parents WISH their children chose, lol. Edited March 5, 2016 by Jolie717
Puffer Fish Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Good news from my day! I'm on Pittsburgh's waitlist. Which is more than I expected since they didn't even look at my application until 8 days ago (recommenders didn't submit until 2 weeks late and the school didn't bother to look at WHY my app was late, just ignored it until I questioned it). I really, really, REALLY hope I get in here if I don't get in anywhere else. Maryland said I should be hearing back next week(ish), someone else said JMU will tell us around the 18th, and Penn State didn't respond to my email. Progress is being made. I have hope again, and this weekend is gonna be the looooonngest weekend ever.
