Did you just recently decide to go to graduate school? I can't believe how many people haven't taken the GRE yet. I took mine back in May so I wouldn't have to worry about it!
WOW!
Wowzers.. It's a tough, but necessary experience. My meals during that time frame were pretty much exclusive to tuna and ramen noodles without the seasoning. Occasionally, I would haul a garbage bag to my mother's house and go "grocery shopping".
AuDhopeful, I'm pretty sure we have some Washington students on this forum. Not sure about Vandy or Chapel Hill.. Assuming you get into more than one, what is your choosing criteria? I imagine your marks are competitive enough judging by the schools you picked..
.. I hope you will hang around for a while..

And welcome to the forum
Thanks! I'd love to hear more from current students at any of these programs...and any others who are happy where they are. I am actually in the process of trying to talk to some current AuD students at these schools now. I've heard not so great things from friends who went to some other programs and have learned a lot from their experiences. The visits already seem to tell a lot...at some they have been very welcoming and helpful, but others have just had a student there basically saying "here's the program" and "see ya later". I think there are lots of strong programs out there, so I'm hoping to find (and get into) one with lots of clinical sites/opportunities (not relying primarily on their own clinic) and research opportunities...and one that's friendly.
Looking forward to the next few exciting, anxious months with all of you!
I'm applying to 5 schools, but have my heart set on one of them. I've got 2 of my 3 references finished and may have to hound the last guy because he's a former professor and historically awful at returning emails and phone calls. I've actually considered making an appointment for an audiogram so I can corner him!
Hey rEliseMe! I am having a tough time with one recommender as well (she's also a former professor)...

Yes, I finally made an appointment with him for an audiogram so he'd have no choice but to talk to me. Turns out it was a big misunderstanding! He gave the materials to someone who still works at the university to pass along to me and she never did. He said he'd go get them from her and mail them to me like I intended, but we'll see. At least his attitude about it was much more positive than I expected! Good luck with yours... do you have the opportunity to go talk to her face-to-face?
Hey there AuDhopeful! I am applying to 6 schools.. SDSU, AT Still, Nova Southeastern, University of Florida, Gallaudet, Syracuse. I think you have a great list of schools! I'm curious you have said you were going to visit. Did you go visit all of them? Did visiting change your mind in applying to any of those choices? Thanks, and best of luck to you
You have a great list of schools, too! Have you visited Florida? That's another program I've been considering, but I'll need to hustle to get everything in by 2/1!Hey there! Sorry for the delayed response. I was so busy with the end of semester and then have been finishing up my apps and enjoying some down time.
To answer your question, I have visited Wash U, U of WA, Vandy, NC, Iowa, KU, and Purdue. A few dropped of my list after I visited and a couple moved up the ranks and I added a few to the list that I haven't visited. Aggg - so stressed about this whole process!
Good luck!
lol She left us over a year ago and we miss her dearly at UofA.
Congrats!
I applied to Iowa, but nothing yet. sigh..
So, when's the big interview? Campus or phone interview?
Wise. I'd probably do the same if I hear back from one of my first choice school(s). Unfortunately, I did a phone interview instead of a campus interview for WUSTL because the deadline was 2/15 and there was no time slot available for a campus visit. I suppose there are lots of candidates!
Hi! 3 years in school does sound appealing, both financially and of course, timewise. However, my professor thinks that i won't be able to enjoy full clinical and academic experience since everything will be somewhat rushed. Plus, there's just no wiggle room. It made me think for a bit.
So, Northwestern does give some scholarships. Hugh Knowles Center(I think) do offer a full scholarship for 3 years, but to ONE student I think. Also, according to their website, they also offer a partial tuition scholarship. This one actually seem to work for a lot of students who are NOT getting the full scholarship mentioned above. I believe they will notify you if you qualify, but you should check it out anyways.
