SpeechieM Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I know it's still early but it's starting to become a little discouraging seeing everyone else get into at least one school and still not hearing anything back. I thought I would have gotten in somewhere by now. Anyone else also in this position? shesanecho 1

I thought I would have gotten in somewhere by now. Anyone else also in this position? I think that there are still a fair bit of people in your situation! I know that according to the results page from last year, none of the schools that I applied to will be sending out acceptances until later in March, so your situation could be the same! Don't get discouraged!
DeWi Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Me! Though I have gotten waitlists/rejections so far, it sucks not having had any acceptances yet. And I went through the same thing last year, waiting for most responses until mid-late March. Don't get discouraged-- A LOT of schools don't send out decisions until March has gotten underway. I was surprised by how many schools started earlier this year. It sucks waiting, but remember you WILL get a response eventually Edited March 2, 2016 by cosmicmorgan
SpeechieM Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks guys! There's a couple of my schools thats have sent out acceptances and I haven't heard anything which is the reason I've gotten so stressed out . Even hearing back for a waitlist would be better than this limbo of not knowing!
alyc Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I know exactly how you feel! Seeing acceptances for some of the schools I've applied to and not hearing anything is a bit discouraging and very stressful! Hopefully we hear something soon
j_rae Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I feel ya! This is my second time around applying and I still haven't heard from any schools. It's absolutely terrifying and totally stressful
SpeechieM Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Which schools are you specifically waiting to hear back from? The ones I've seen acceptances for but haven't heard myself yet are NYU and Temple. I wish it was socially acceptable to call them and ask if I'm in or not!
koalalover1 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'm in the same boat! Two wait lists and an interview. Still waiting for five schools though, which hopefully I will be hearing from soon! This waiting game is brutal. Hoping for some good news for us soon!
MangoSmoothie Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Don't fret! A majority of schools notify in March, and mid-late March seems to be the time in which most schools notify applicants. Many schools (hint, hint), like to notify the Friday before their spring break starts. Not a hard and fast rule, but it's a trend of some schools. Last year I had a friend who applied to schools that all had March 1st deadlines, so she was really in for a long wait! A friend of mine applying for Fall also hasn't had an acceptance yet, although she did have a waitlist and a rejection. In the meantime, try not to worry about it! Don't bother contacting the schools because they will do it when they do it. Delaying gratification is a thing, and it will feel so good once you finally get confirmation that you're going to grad school. Best of luck! It's a hard process, but you're not alone. This forum represents a very small, skewed sample of people applying to graduate programs in SLP as well, so remember that!
Quietstorm Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I am so scared. Every single time I get an email on my phone at work I nearly fall out. There is nothing in the portal, no emails. I've checked spam and everything else. Feeling so overwhelmed.
slptobe92 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I have one rejection and one wait list so far and I can't stop checking the portals and my emails. I'm supposed to be hearing back from a few schools in the next two weeks so I'm nervous as ever!
Arcanelady27 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 To not even get an interview for schools you know have started the process is very discouraging. As I have stated, no news is not always good news.
greatdane Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I have still have not heard anything from the 5 schools I applied to either.
slptobe92 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Mid-March is a popular time for a lot of schools to send out admissions decisions so we should all be hearing back soon! I hope everyone hears good news
koalalover1 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I am still waiting on four schools as well! Hoping to hear some good news this week, otherwise waiting for hopeful spots on a waitlist is going to be another long couple of months! Hope you guys hear good news as well! Edited March 9, 2016 by koalalover1
Rorororosy Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I just heard back from GWU that I was waitlisted. I am refreshing my email all the time. I heard a lot of schools go to spring break next week so hoping that by friday I have some news!
SpeechieM Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Hey guys! Thanks for the encouraging words. Since I posted this I have been accepted to one school and waitlisted to another. I hope all of you get good news soon if you haven't already! DeWi and koalalover1 2
Auuudriana Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I have heard from nowhere yet. No acceptances, rejections, or waitlists! So disappointing and anxiety inducing.
MrsH Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Also waiting for at least one acceptance.. rejections so far. Will see! Good luck everyone!

MrsH Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @Arcanelady27 I applied kinda all over, but only on the east coast. Farthest north was Boston and south was Univ of Delaware. In NY, I applied to Hofstra, NYU (rejected) and Columbia. Out of field applicant - Broadcast Journalism major, did the beauty/fashion PR scene in NYC but that was crazy haha. Only two pre-reqs under my belt, but now taking four. Been interning for over a year though. Will see what happens, but already looking for ways to beef up my app for next year! What about you?
Arcanelady27 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) @MrsHMe too! I graduated from Hofstra concentrating in PR. I hated t! Did my second BA in SLP at Lehman College. I have a MS degree from the College of New Rochelle. I have only applied to schools in my signature. Edited March 10, 2016 by Arcanelady27
slptobe92 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Each morning I wake up and think "today is gonna be the day!" but it looks like no one has heard from the schools I'm waiting on yet. Tish22 1

I still haven't heard anything from them
