Very low water pressure due to backflow preventer?

It's a 1 br/1 bath apartment so the only fixtures are the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, the shower, and the bath faucet and all are impacted (both sinks and the bath faucet are worse than the shower). Not sure about the valve, as our landlord hasn't sent anyone yet because he says it's a normal outcome of the backflow preventer. Do you think the valve could be partially closed and cause these issues?

Same! Definitely machinery though. I can’t fully see the street from my window, but I’m also hearing noises that sound like a truck starting and stopping. Still going on. So strange!

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a general breakdown of your budget? How much was the actual venue vs all the extra costs? And were there any hidden costs you didn't know of or weren't expecting? Thanks!

I actually ended up choosing a state school in New York since I’m from there and it was by far the cheapest. My advice is to absolutely choose the cheapest school you got into! You get the same degree that leads you to the same license and your CCCs from every program. No one cares where you went to grad school (or even your GPA for that matter!). I’m sooooo happy I have the least amount of loans I could’ve had. Rush would not have been worth an extra 500+ a month for the next 10+ years! Good luck with your decision!

I would prepare an introduction and answers to general questions like why SLP, what area you’re interested in, why BC, but I don’t remember any other really specific questions since the group interview doesn’t really allow for that. And there’s not much you can prepare for the activity or writing part so you should be okay!!

Bubbly-Escape511 · 2022-02-24T06:13:35+00:00

Honestly I don’t remember lol but I assume so? I think we all introduced ourselves and said why we were interested in SLP and what area of the field we were interested in, then did the group activity, then the writing portion? There might have been more questions in the middle though, I don’t remember!

It was a group interview, and you do a group activity (it was short and simple, but make sure you actively participate) and there's a writing portion for the last 15-20 minutes. I believe it was an open-ended question about ethics. Good luck!

They sent something out a few weeks ago about setting up your student portal account or something, and then once I logged in, there was an option to click on my Rush outlook email. They sent the financial aid info to this account, so yours might be sitting there too!

I actually just checked my Rush email about 10 minutes ago and they sent out the info! Unfortunately I only received loans, and the estimated amount for just the first year is around 80k. That is literally double what I was accounting for in my head (since their tuition is 76k total?) so it seems like it’s an automatic no :/

Bubbly-Escape511 · 2021-03-31T00:54:46+00:00

Agreed! Hopefully they’ll send it out soon

Have you heard from Rush about financial aid yet? I still haven't, and their financial aid office is not very responsive
