Congrats on getting an interview! I heard by email today about scheduling an interview (I put 2/13 but that's when I heard, no interview actually scheduled yet). I've seen on the forums that others have gotten interviews and even acceptances, so I assume they're doing rolling I think. SpeechLaedy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurmaur Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 For those of us who applied to Northeastern, according to the survey page, someone's portal had their acceptance today. I logged into my portal and cannot find anything. I assume the decision would be obvious so I'm assuming I don't have any news yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeechLaedy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Ugh. Got my first official response from a school and it's a rejection (from Lehman College). I had a feeling it would be anyway though since I didn't get the chance to emphasize the importance one of the faculty had in my decision to become an SLP. I think if I had done that, I would've at least had a shot. Anyway, ah well. 7 more to go... praying for some acceptance(s) ??
