I’d like to bring one of my parents to get their opinion before i make a final decision. Went to an open house about a couple weeks ago, there were quite a few parents/significant others there. I would ask the program if it would be appropriate though because some may not want anyone but applicants there. Can't hurt to be safe!

sarahh46 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) hey guys! wondering if you guys could give your take on this: I applied to Tennessee State's online program for speech and haven't heard anything yet. I emailed Dr. Terrie Gibson, who is in charge of admissions and asked when applicants would be notified of admission one way or another. Today she emailed me back in response and I am a bit confused as to what this means. She said "Applicants have been notified. Thank you for your interest in our program." So does this mean that I have been rejected? I emailed her back and asked to clarify what this email meant. Thanks and let me know what you guys think!:) Edited April 6, 2018 by sarahh46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soontobeslp2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'm waitlisted at 2 schools and rejected everywhere else. I emailed my top choice reminding them I'm still interested and they replied saying that I'm "very high" on the list. I feel like they'd only say that if they were confident I'd get in off the waitlist. So now I'm waiting pins and needles as I wait for their final decision after the 15th.

aprilkookaburra Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hi all I am not applying yet, will be in the fall but had a question for you guys about application costs... Where do you find out how much it is to apply? What are the typical application fees? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you find out how much it is to apply? What are the typical application fees? Thanks! Fees definitely vary by program. Any CSDCAS schools have application fees built into the CSDCAS application. However, if a school has a supplemental application you may have to pay a fee for CSDCAS and the supplement (I did). However, one of my schools waived the application fee if I attended an online information session. Some schools may have priority deadlines with cheaper fees. In my experience the typical fee was around $60, but they ranged from $0 to $125. All this information should be somewhere on each program's website.

I called two weeks ago & they said decisions were going out last week..but I know there is also an interview involved? I am not interested in attending now that I have another offer, but if I hear something I will most definitely let you know! Have you still not heard anything? I haven't heard from them at all! I didn't know there was an interview involved...I tried to stay clear of those schools, haha! I am in the same boat as you, not too interested in the school but would like to have more than one option. Also, I'm not too happy with them. They have been rude to me in the admissions office when I called about a transcript mix up and the CSD secretary never wrote me back when I asked if all my materials were delivered so my application could be incomplete for all I know!

tmkwong Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Congrats to everyone hearing back from programs! I'm currently trying to choose between SFSU and CSULB. I've been doing research on both programs online to see what's a better fit, but I'm still at a loss. Does anyone have any opinions on either program?

I was under the impression that since it doesn't start until Spring 2018, we wouldn't hear back until closer to the fall. I feel like she just didn't read your email... I've heard Tennessee can be a bit disorganized. But I could be wrong! Let me know if you find out any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat as you. Rejected everywhere, but waitlisted at 2. I've been wondering if I should email the schools and tell them I'm still very interested. Does anyone know if this makes a difference at all? I also feel like by now they should have a good understanding of where we sit on the list...and do they start notifying the waitlist after the 15th?

I e-mailed my first choice to reaffirm my interest and why they are my top choice and they thanked me for the e-mail and explained to me a little bit more about the wait list. I don't really think that it bumped me up on the wait list or anything but it cannot hurt to keep your name fresh in their minds. They also told me that we will likely hear after the 15th!

And I’m finishing my undergrad at SF. The masters program is a little disorganized but people seem to enjoy it. If anyone is debating on going here I would just think about your housing situation. It’s extremely expensive to live here. Edited April 9, 2018 by #SLP2B Wanted to elaborate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the open house on Friday and was very impressed by the staff, students, and clinic. Everyone is very nice and supportive, the program provides some really unique qualities, but it is very expensive for out of state students.

I’ve heard mixed reviews but most people like it, but lots of us say the undergrad program is much more organized than their grad program. I’ve also heard good things about Long Beach too so I’m not sure which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLP_SP Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hey everyone! I just heard that I got accepted off the waitlist at University of Montana! I'm so excited, it's my only acceptance and I will definitely be attending. It was one of my top choices! Has anyone else been accepted and knows if there is a Facebook group or anything? Thanks for everyone's support on here. It's always nice to see people in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
