Got accepted today!! First acceptance after 3 rejections for PhD programs. Didn’t require GRE scores and my GPA is mid but four years of research experience and good essays and rec letters did it for me!

Off the waitlist!

Experience : two years of school based full time SLPA work, 200+ volunteer hours across a variety of age demographics. Multiple research assistant roles focused around indigenous and refugee perspectives and language learning. Strong reference letters and a personal connection to the field. Due to my GPA - was not expecting the acceptance this round, as I am currently enrolled in classes to boost it, completely excited and thrilled !!

People were notified throughout the day starting around 1PM PST

Email from program director, official notice the next day

GPA is Grad and Undergrad (about the same). Rejected by the Art History department but they've transferred my materials to EALAC since I listed it as my second choice. Kinda consider this as a second chance... maybe? good luck to me :)

Interviewed in January, received rejection notice on 4/2.

Canadian applicant. Distance education for June cohort. Informed of waitlist status only after seeking decision update.

finally done with this application cycle (they mentioned that this was a “relatively late” decision and i was like no duh)
