CalChi SLP Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Hello fellow applicants, So Loma Linda said they would inform applicants regarding the interviews by the end of Jan, but I haven't received anything yet. Has anyone received anything or has any idea when we should expect to hear ? Since I am an international applicant I have no idea about hoe the program "actually" is, any insights are welcome. Thanks!
ENFPslp Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=speech&t=a&pp=250 hey! Looks like people got e-mails about interviews on the 27th. You should call the school tomorrow and confirm though.

I see you applied there as well, what were your reasons for applying ? Did you get notified for the interview?
ENFPslp Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I have a lot of family and friends in the area. What about you? Yeah my interview is on the 12th.
CalChi SLP Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Oh that's nice. I have an average GRE score (304 ) and Loma Linda does not require GRE, so I figured it would be good to apply. I have emailed them, I hope the fact that I haven't heard from yet does not mean that I have been rejected.
ENFPslp Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hey and don't be afraid to e-mail and call everyday if you have to. I heard a lot of admissions people forget to reply because they're just so busy during this time of the year. I hope you hear good news!

Thank you I'll keep you posted! All the best for your interview!!

I'm flying to CA from Michigan because I didn't want to lose my spot. I heard that skipping the interview takes you off their list? Although I don't know how accurate this is.
slp2be93 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 also i wasnt asking about skipping, i was asking about HOW MANY they interview...just to see our chances. Ya know ? ENFPslp 1

Unfortunately, it seems that schools consider you not visiting for an interview to be a sign of "lack of serious commitment." If you can scrape together the money for the visit, it is probably worth it.

I am currently in my clinical practicum (not always offered in undergrad programs), and I am committed to my patients/clients in the field of speech pathology. Just because I can't fly out, doesn't mean I am not committed to the program. If you have classes to attend as well, it doesn't look bad. It shows you are committed to your coursework, which is what a faculty member actually told me. Good luck to all of us on the journey through the waiting process!! thespeechblog.com 1

I'm missing therapy with two of my practicum kiddies for this interview... Love your commitment

They gave us an hour to write an essay-- this year's prompt was about our interpretations of success. Then we had to work together to pick 4 items to survive being shipwrecked.
slp2be93 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 same! it was very strange compared to other interviews. I don't know how they would really get to know us by that type of an interview, besides communication skills. do you know how (email/mail/phone) and when do we hear back!?
ENFPslp Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 @slp2be93 I was thinking the first few weeks of March but I'm not 100% sure

I think they use our statement of purpose to try to get to know us. And then I think for the interview they were more focused on how we interact with strangers when thrown into a situation where we need to work together. My interviewers also gave us time to give a little intro about ourselves or ask questions so those were other areas they took notes on. I think we'll hear by email but I do not know for certain, it should be happening pretty soon though I'd think. Good luck to everyone
slp2be93 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I received an email yesterday. I was placed on the alternate list. I'm not sure if that's the same thing as a wait list. Hell, better than a rejection. Trying to remain positive during this brutal waiting game.
CBG321 Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I did too same thing alternate/wait list. Has anyone been accepted? I am hoping a friend of mine got in, she said in the past they send out the alternate list first via email and acceptances snail mail...I'm hoping she is right and might have gotten in!
