I just wanted to announce that I got into Northwestern's Communication Disorders grad program! I really wasn't expecting to get in! I now just need to sit and wait to hear back from the other five school I applied to.

Congratulations!! That's wonderful news. I am in the process of applying to Ph.D. programs, so I know how stressful the waiting can be. My best friend has a masters degree in Speech Pathology...similar field, right?

Big Hugs and Good wishes!

Yes, the two are the same thing. I know a lot of progams are trying to switch over to communication disorders. Where is your friend going to school?

Best of luck to you in your Ph.D. pursuits! I know I'm not quite as nervous because now I know that I'm at least into one school. I can actually start focusing on school and giving therapy now! LOL

I also applied to University of Illinois, Indiana University, Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, and Ball State University. I have a feeling it's going to be awhile longer to hear back from the rest, especially since most of their deadlines aren't until Feb.

Thank you all for your kind words (and cute smiley graphics, rainbow

Congrats, Erin-- that is fantastic news! Getting accepting into Northwestern is wonderful-- will your program be in Evanston, or at the Chicago campus? I know from trying to make referrals that specialists in Communication Disorders are sorely needed-- you're going into a great field!

I'm not positive, but I think it's in Evanston. It seems like there are always job offers for speech pathologists. I know in Indiana some schools are even offering jobs to SLP's right out of college. This is odd because to be a "full fledged" SLP you really need to have your master's degree. I think in this area there just aren't enough people to go around.

I love my field and I'm glad to be a part of it! I'm doing therapy now actually, and it's a pleasure to help others.

Have you heard from the other schools that you applied to yet?
