Where is everyone applying for fall of 09? I just graduated from Ohio State and I am very interested in University of Texas at Austin. Any thoughts?

Hi

I'm considering UT-Austin as one my schools, as well. It's a great school! I hope we all see each other in the future.

Hi,
I am currently preparing to apply to AuD programs. I am concerned that I am not a competitive applicant because I have weak GRE scores(lower than 900, Granted when I took the GREs I was in school full time and working full time and didn't study too much for the exam). My GPA is good (3.65), I have great research experience and quite a few publications in the field of behavioral neurology. However, my past experience primarily focussed on language and towards an SLP degree. I started at the masters level in SLP studies but quickly realized I wouldn't truly enjoy the field.
Now that I am changing tracks I am worried about how competitive the programs in AuD studies are going to be and if I should retake the GREs.
Any thoughts?
I would like to start at the latest by Fall 09.


Thanks!:confused:

When do the applications come out for Fall '09? I have been checking and some of them aren't out yet. Do we have to continually check or will they come out around the same time. Also, are these schools rolling admissions? Thanks for the help everyone!

Applications are typically available in August/September but the earliest you can actually submit them is Oct. And yes you will have to keep checking because each schools time lines are slightly different. No AuD Program I have heard of has rolling admissions, they only accept students for Fall admissions.

Hope this helps.

Okay so I was in your boat, kinda of, when I was applying for Fall 07 admissions. (which ended horribly) I was in school full time, working semi-full time, and pregnant. My GRE was in the low 900s but my GPA was fairly decent 3.54. I only applied to Vanderbilt, I know that was not to smart, but I was interested in staying in Nashville.

Anyways needless to say I did not get in and when I conferenced with a few professors I knew on the admission board I was told that My GRE and My essay were the reasons for my denial. So the following summer I retook the GREs twice, studied, and brought them up a hundred or so points. (Still average at best scores) I had my essay edited by two professor, one at Vandy and one at Northwestern and reapplied to 9 different schools with varying ranks and selectiveness. And got into 5, was wait listed at 3 and was denied at one.

All this to say I would most defiantly retake the GREs because that is one of the first ways that most schools weed quickly through the applications. AuD programs have become highly competitive so I think if you don't retake them you probably will have not so great results.

Thanks AuDTNStudent!

What I meant by rolling admissions is if it matters when we actually submit the application...such as if you submit a lot earlier from the deadline, you'd hear from them sooner or everyone hears around the same time regardless of when they submit their application.

What is a reasonable # of schools that AuD students should apply to? Currently I want to apply to at least 10 because my boyfriend is applying to med schools and we want to make sure that we have some overlap and places to consider for the two of us. Is that enough or should I be applying to more?
Currently I am going to plan on applying all over the US: CA, NY, MD, NC, TX, MA, NH, DC, CO.

^^^^ I am you, right down to applying to one school (which I agree, wasn't the brightest idea), getting rejected, inquiring about the rejection and improving upon those areas. Anywhoo, I plan to retake the GREs. You give me hope that I will be accepted this time around.;)

Im planning on applying to Syracuse, Buffalo, Long Island Consortium, Maryland (both schools), UNC-chapel hill. Might apply to a school in Florida but not sure yet. Where is everyone else planning on applying to? Are there any males that will be applying?

I am currently applying to UNC, Vanderbilt, SDSU/UCSD, and Towson... all over the map. Honestly I'm not even sure WHY I'm applying to these except that I like the location or they are ranked as a great schools.

They all look the same to me on paper!!!

How did you all decide where to apply?

I've applied to UMCP, Pitt and JMU. I'm still thinking about Towson. Any thoughts on these?

I've visited all 4 but really prefer the 3 I've sent the apps to. But I don't know if I should be applying to more. My grades are competitive and my GRE's are Ok but could be better.

Any thoughts out there?

To answer the previous post, I'm looking at geography, ratings I've read, and then my impressions when I visited.

What are the rest of the '09 applicants looking at to decide?
