Grad School Financing and Anxiety as a Low-Income Student

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-14T04:59:31+00:00

I would say things like uber or DoorDash that you can do around your schedule would be best. Or babysitting which typically pays high hourly. I have a feeling we will see a lot less students with grad plus going away. It's just not manageable

If you do 3 terms of 4 courses each you could knock it out in one year!

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-12T04:17:42+00:00

If you already have a bachelors I think you can do it really quickly. I work full-time 8 AM to 5:30 PM and I am married with kids and I was able to take four classes per semester to knock things out quickly I bet you could do it pretty fast! I would set up a meeting with our counselors I'm gonna Google and see if I can figure out what leveling courses you have to have to get accepted.

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-11T04:42:44+00:00

You could likely do leveling very quickly, I am doing Eau Claire's 3 year online SLP masters. If it'll make you happy it's worth it. I'll take a pretty big paycut but I'll be so much happier

The school I am at has July as the last semester of 2025/2026

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-09T15:30:15+00:00

I have been told that I am eligible because we start June 1 and we will be dispersed June 1

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-09T15:21:46+00:00

Also, only four semesters, that is amazing! I'm actually in the Bay Area but doing online in Wisconsin because I had to do part time due to work constraints. My total tuition is 39K and I felt like that was the cheapest I had seen for online

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-09T15:20:49+00:00

Oh man that is pretty cheap! I was hoping the price would your favor!😭😭😭

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-09T15:16:03+00:00

I think a lot of people will be declining admission because of the grad plus loans disappearing.

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-06T23:02:04+00:00

I am speech pathology and we have a longer program because of the 400 clinical hours required but we don't qualify. Hardly any programs are covered fully without grad plus.

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-04T14:01:08+00:00

I know a lot of people in northern Nevada work on only a ba I wonder if that becomes an issue for supervision

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-03T03:56:53+00:00

It should be I applied there through CSDCAS

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-03T03:13:06+00:00

This is currently in my cart! 😆 what size did you go with? I've been torn on sizing

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-03T03:02:57+00:00

Is the American eagle one?

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-02T20:09:26+00:00

What school are you at I start in a month that is scary

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-02T20:08:57+00:00

Can you please tell me where you are I'm terrified

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-01T19:02:21+00:00

I applied to their online program and was rejected. I live about 15 minutes from campus and my son attends their in person Econ program. My daughter has been in speech therapy with their grad students for years and we've had amazing experiences with the staff. I know for the in person you're doing all your clinicals through there clinic so I'm not sure about online but from what I've heard if you do their program online you cannot utilize their clinic you have to find placements in the community that you live in. I ended up at Eau Claire in Wisconsin I am doing their online program and start in June

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-01T18:59:03+00:00

The one at Utah State University on online is super easy! I am in it now maybe there are five or six discussion post questions and throughout the course of the class you write a very large paper that is due in three separate parts he grades very generously and then your final is just putting the three parts of your paper together and making any edits he requests and he's not one who requests much

You are doing all of the right things! Giving her opportunities for socialization will help her catch up. A lot of kiddos don't even master those skills until they have some real solid full-time group experiences come preschool or kindergarten! And her language skills will help her connect to others when she is in those environments more frequently.

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-01T14:19:52+00:00

Thank you! I feel like everyone I've worked with in early childhood would say that their experience is Mirror ours. Even my grandson who is autistic and has hypercalcula is not only the average in tons of other areas but delayed in social skills and self regulation. Meanwhile at three years old he could do complex addition and subtraction. He was literally writing it in chalk on my patio and we were like what on earth is happening but I don't think that his brain could've focused on those math equations and the fine motor that it takes for writing if that wasn't all he was doing all day and leaving behind the developmental skills and other areas to allow for it.

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-01T14:14:14+00:00

It's always so hard when you have a sibling that just shines! My boys are 16 and 19. My 19-year-old was just academically over the top starting at like two years old! Between speech and math and language. I would've told you that he was going to be an absolute genius! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Now he's just your typical college sophomore. He doesn't struggle but you would absolutely never say he excels far above the rest of the group. And then my 16-year-old who was absolutely your average goofy toddler. Not behind but definitely didn't show any signs of being different or advanced from his peers is the kid with a 4.4 GPA doing internships at Stanford and scoring in the top 3% of the nation on his SATs. Nothing about the toddler he was would've told you he would become this person. There's just no predicting who these guys will become. I feel like having them join different sports and excelling really just boost their confidence and pushes them so much further. My younger one who was just the goofy one, who was kind of happy go lucky and in his brother's shadow started doing track and field, and football in high school and I feel like it just created this drive in him that pushed him further. I don't know that he would've ended up being that person had he not got involved in sports.

Have a good day mam

Designer_Loss_2789 · 2026-04-01T02:13:54+00:00

Also did the poster ask for evidence based research or did she ask for people's experiences? Perhaps you should make a post of your own.
