Out of field applicant, lower undergrad GPA but 4.0 CSD GPA. This is my top choice and I will be accepting.

Just got an email!!

This one stung, but I got into other schools! No harm, no foul. Good luck to everyone!

Beyond ecstatic! I didn't think I would get accepted to this one! I have 5 volunteer experiences with grad/undergrad classes as a translator for assessments, 4 years of work experience in pediatrics ( 6 months as a CSLPA), and very strong LORs from professors/supervisors who know me well. 1 of the LORs was from a professor who is a regarded name in research and an NU alumni. For anyone looking for advice, GPA isn't everything! My cumulative was 3.60, but my major was closer to a 3.2. Use your application to explain why you are passionate to be an SLP, and how NU will assist you in following your passions! The app is 4 questions. That's it. Your answers and LORs are everything. Make sure you build good relationships with professors who can attest to you as a student and as a person. I do not think I would have gotten in if it hadn't been for my LORs. Good luck to everyone in their academic endeavors!

3.92 CSD GPA

This is my top choice, feeling hopeful!

had a lot of extracurriculars and an in-field applicant!!!

Interviewed 2/14, Niche Research Field (Set to Present Research at CSHA), High GPA, Strong LORs, Not a lot of Extracurriculars or Clubs

This is my top school! Decline if you are not going
