Research Assistant, 2 jobs, 3 different orgs, published research, shadowing experience, 100+ hours of volunteering experience, don't even bother to waste the 300$ on the application fee when they won't bother to send you the rejection letter over a month after the cohort is set. UNC's response alone is very telling about how they run things at their institution. If you don't have a 4.0, honors college, or study abroad experiences, don't bother and I'm so serious! Trust, save yourself money and apply to other schools, where you can earn the same degree and possibly make more.

Out of field applicant with a bachelors in Psychology. I have undergraduate research experience, volunteering experience, and a community engagement distinction.

Volunteer/internship experience- declined for hopeful other options

Hello and good morning/afternoon/evening to all: As of today (19 March 2025), I am on the official waitlist for San Jose State University's MS SLP programme. That being said, I was wondering if anyone who has recently received an acceptance offer and is currently considering other options in addition to SJSU would be willing to make room for a Nigerian man of 34 years, as this is the only university out of four (i.e., SDSU, CSUMB, CSUF, SJSU) that has given me any positive news so far. I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you and GOD BLESS!!!

Waitlisted in january and was just notified I was rejected. They encouraged me to apply for the Spring 2026 cohort. I denied the offer as I have been accepted into other programs.
