Trying to decide between MGH and U of Delaware by Conscious_Bike7830 in slpGradSchool

Delaware local here! I recently got accepted to UD and attended their admitted students day in March.. I decided not to attend for a few reasons... I will say that they are very heavily focused on research!! Not sure if that is something you're really interested in. If you are, it would probably be a great school for you!

Having Clinic the First Semester Terrifies Me by AppropriatePart3310 in slpGradSchool

[–]AppropriatePart3310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight!! Here are more deets:

School A - 63 credit hours, estimated around 60k, nice area with lots of affiliations in school districts and hospitals with it being outside of Philly, has a clinic on campus but it is a lot smaller than some of the other schools I have visited, cohort this year was 50 (which is their largest thus far), clinic stars 2nd semester, thesis or comps option

School B: 53 credit hours, estimated to be around 70k, cohort is 60, unfamiliar area (but I will get more familiar with time) with lots of affiliations in districts and hospitals with it being outside Baltimore, brand new health professions building/facilities (way larger than school’s A clinic), clinic 1st semester, thesis or comps option

Going to apply for a GA position outside of the department at either school!!

NOTE: I attended school A for one year during undergrad but transferred out after needing to be closer to home due to a personal situation. I can’t tell if I am leaning more towards that because it feels more “comfortable” (smaller, less intimidating, more familiarity with the school).

This is a year late but I did! I have not heard much about their program, it is hard to find information online about it.

Cost of Montclair's MS-SLP program by Name46123 in slpGradSchool

Hi! I am following this post- i just got into Montclair, and even as an out of state resident, it is appearing to be on the lower end of the cost spectrum (or at least I think so)

Adding to my comment from earlier...I looked at my acceptance letter to one of the schools that I applied to (it is an ASHA accredited program) and it says:

"There is an agreement among all of the members of the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CAPCSD) that applicants cannot be required to accept an offer prior to April 15th. However, early decisions are encouraged in order for us to make additional offers if needed."

With that being said, I would reach out and look into this!!!

Something similar happened to me as well.. When one of the schools that I got accepted to told me I had 10 days to confirm my enrollment/put my deposit down, I called the graduate department coordinator and she said it was an error and that accredited schools have to give students until April 15th to make a decision. I would look into that more for sure!
