ToshaSLP Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Any fellow Eau Claire Distance applicants out there? What are you doing to pass the time? One professor told me we would hear back beginning of Feb, and another said by the end of Feb. Did you apply to any other programs? I applied to Idaho State, but my first choice is Eau Claire.
slporbust2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Basically, I'm going crazy waiting. I just checked the mail, and nothing today. Judging by the results page, the earliest ones have started arriving later this week the last couple of years. I'm applying to two other distance programs, but UWEC is my top choice, so if it comes later this week, that would save me a lot of stress.
ToshaSLP Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Nice! Did you have an interview? How do you feel it went? They didn't ask me any personal questions, so it kind of felt off for me.
slporbust2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I thought my interview went ok. I think they were mostly getting a feel for it you understood the program and the expectations and were equipped to learn in that environment. Mine wasn't very personal either. Just my impression. Hopefully, we both hear good news soon.
ToshaSLP Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Good luck!!
slporbust2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Still nothing in the mail today. I'm really hoping we find out this week.
ToshaSLP Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Well, I take post-bacc classes from them right now, and registration for summer classes begins February 15th. It would make sense that they would let us know before then, but who knows? I live in milwaukee, and the post takes about a day to get here, so I think I'll be one of the first to get a letter if they send them all out at the same time. I know... I'm going nuts waiting. lol.
ToshaSLP Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I just got my acceptance letter! I'm literally in a daze. Hopefully you will get yours soon too!!

slporbust2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Congrats! (No mail yet here. Hoping it's soon. )
Kelsi Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I just found out that I am wait listed for this program. Bittersweet.
slporbust2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Kelsi-I know people have moved on the wishlist in the past, so there's hope. I got my letter today, and I'm ecstatic. UWEC was always my first choice, so I'll be sending in my acceptance tomorrow. ToshaSLP-Is there already a FB group for the cohort?
ToshaSLP Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Congratulations!! I just sent my acceptance letter as well I don't think there is a group yet, but I think you need at least one similar FB to create one. My FB is https://www.facebook.com/natashan3 You should add me!

I think you still have a chance to get in as well, if not, a wait list is a good sign for admittance next year. They must have thought you were a good fit, I think there were a lot of applications this year. Good luck!!
slporbust2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Tosha, I'll send you an add and start a group. Thanks.
slporbust2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I started a group here for those who are going to be attending the distance program at UWEC starting this summer. https://www.facebook.com/groups/569388359884460/

You are in for an exciting journey. Thank you! I'm so excited to start this journey!! Do you work along with school? I'd like to complete it in three years, and don't know if keeping my part-time job is feasible along with having a young son that is only in daycare 10 hours a week.
smslp Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I do work, full-time actually, as a school-based speech clinician (BS degree grandfathered-in), and have been on and off for 26 years (yep, I'm old ). I believe that one of the requirements of the program is completing it in 3 years, as you have to follow an exact sequence of courses. Sounds like you are a very busy Mom! Our cohort has many Moms with young children, some work outside the home, and some don't. We actually had one new baby born in January, one coming in March, and another in September. I see that you have a Facebook group set up. Best thing ever to keep contact with classmates! We post to each other all the time, daily often. That moral support, even when you only see each other once per year is invaluable! I'll be honest, it is a very rigorous and intense program! I truly love it, but really have to stay focused to keep up working, and then completing the coursework. As I've posted before, don't let anyone convince you that because it is online it is easier. It is NOT! Hard work, but highly engaging material. Feel free to pm me if you have any specific questions.
