CU Boulder applicants & students!

[BADASSALICE]

Hi fellow SLP students!

I hope this semester has been treating you well! I am a senior CDIS major and I am currently thinking about applying for CU Boulder next year (in 2018). I heard that the program is extremely competitive. In fact, according to Edfind, they received 417 applications last year and offered admission to 105 applicant. So statistically speaking, the chance of getting in is around 25%. I also know that their average GPA for admitted students is 3.6 (not bad!), and the average GRE scores are very high (I forgot specific numbers). However, these are all the info that I know about this program. If you are affiliated with the CU Boulder SHS program in any way please feel free to share whatever info you know about the program! I would like to know the quality of the masters program and if it really lives up to the hype (24th ranked SLP masters program in the country). I currently go to school in Oklahoma. I am Asian and bilingual in Mandarin and English. Would that give me any kind of advantage when I apply? What specific qualities do they look for in an applicant? And do they lean towards applicants within their own program for admission? And literally just anything you want to share about this program. 

I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving, and finish the semester strong!

I am applying to CU.  Their program has one of the higher acceptance rates that I've found!  Most schools are around 20-22%. So frustrating.
