Congratulations Hailey! 🍾🎉🎈🎊 I have been waiting for this grad school video! Break a leg! Merde!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

thanks so much!

I ended up going to Redlands for my SLP program as an out of field! Yes, it is so expensive, but the class sizes are small so you do get a lot of attention and support. But geez, that cost feels criminal sometimes.

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

That's awesome! It's a lovely school! Education is expensive no matter where you go 😕

[@MsAlonzo26]

Heeeey Hailey! I completely understand you. I attended the CSULA preview week and their presentation was lacking enthusiasm. I'm glad I got accepted but I also got accepted to other CSU's. It really left a bad taste 😑. On the other hand, CSUN has been so informative and welcoming but it's far for me. I'm still waiting for UCLA. I got accepted to UCR but their financial package was not that great 😔. If I go to CSULA it's closer and affordable. Anyone wants to drop their two cents, please do lol Congratulations 🎉 please keep us posted! Wishing you more success!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi there, congrats on your acceptances! That's super exciting. UCLA is notorious for being the last of the UCs to send out there decisions so I'm sorry to hear that you're still waiting. I hope everything works out for you. Either way I'm sure you'll make the right decision for yourself. Fingers crossed for you!

Congratulations Hailey, I’m currently attending Cal State LA for my bachelors and I’m thinking after graduating to find a graduate program as well. Any advice LOL ?

For them sky’s the limit. Im glad you join the golden eagle family and wish you the best in your educational goals.

[@foodancooking]

Hailey why you don’t consider UCLA as one of your decision ?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi, UCLA doesn't offer a program for SLPs.

[@samanthasteinbrecher3305]

This was so relatable. I'm going to Redlands and the only con for me is the price )):

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

It's crazy expensive for sure!

[@Alexis-ev2vc]

You mentioned that at the university of Memphis, it is going to take two years to get your masters. Is that including the out of field leveling year?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Alexis, it's not a leveling year in the traditional sense as the courses are built into the regular curriculum. Out of field students are in the same classes as those with CSD background, and taken an additional class during the school year. Some students have to taken phonetics and language development the summer before. The total for the program is 2 years + 1 semester.

[@Alexis-ev2vc]

Congratulations Hailey! 🎉 I was over here trying to guess which school you had chose the entire time only for it to be hidden behind your hair 😂

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

lol gotta keep you on your toes 💀thank you!

[@TechVHD]

Are all, every single one of the schools you applied to, able to let students who are admitted, even without a csd bachelors, in, to the masters program through making up the classes needed through which way(s) for each school ? Example: (examples, only, could be right or wrong) SDSU: through summer Memphis: throughout the program or summer East bay: Etc: Etc:

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hello! Yes, all of the school I applied to have the leveling coursework built into the curriculum. Only Memphis requires a summer class in language development, but you can test out of the course.

[@TechVHD]

All of the schools have the pre masters classes needed built into it? Can you list out how they work (summer/throughout/etc) for each school:

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

WAITLIST UPDATE: Rejected by East Bay, accepted by SJSU. SJSU actually called me and notified me that I was rejected in error and it was supposed to be an acceptance.

[@foodancooking]

So hailey you are going to northern Arizona/ Memphis

[@MsAlonzo26]

Memphis is lucky to have you! Sounds like a great change from Cali. Take good care of yourself!

[@ChiaraJade811]

Memphis is very lucky to have you. Very happy for you that you felt welcomed when you visited the university.

[@andreamtnguyen]

hi hailey!!! i’m also transferring from west valley to csu long beach for speech pathology! best of luck in your grad school journey! did you have an interview with all the schools you applied to? could you also go little more in depth about how you got into grad school the first time you applied? i know it’s not always the case for everyone

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Andrea, that's awesome! Long Beach has a great SLP program. The only school I applied to that required an interview was Cal State East Bay. As far as your second question goes, it's really just the luck of the draw. SLP is a very competitive field. I was both accepted and rejected at various schools. Thanks so much for watching.

[@MsAlonzo26]

I got rejected from CSULB 😎

[@emelyannett]

San Jose State is very hard to get in. I went to SJSU for my undergrad

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

It sure is

[@Berkeley2023]

Congratulations 🎉

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

thank you

[@carriegoodman5450]

I’m looking into NAU! But I’ll only be a junior this fall, I still plan to tour it!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

That's awesome!

[@christinaalexandra9824]

I’ve just been watching SLP related videos and I stumbled upon yours! Congratulations, first off, for getting into and committing to grad school! Im a sophomore in college and also hoping to become and SLP. I’m actually from around the same as you haha. The college I go to doesn’t offer a CSD major so I’m also going to have to go the “untraditional” route with getting to grad school. I’m majoring in psych and Spanish and I’ve been able to take a lot of linguistics courses through those departments. I’m going to give U of M a look because I haven’t really heard of it before but it sounds like an amazing program! Good luck with everything!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Christina, that's awesome. I might be a little biased, but I think SLP is a pretty cool field. I hope everything works out for you! Thanks for the well wishes.

[@pujabaldawa6185]

Hey!! Is UCLA test optional for the students applying for fall 2022?( Undergraduate) And are most of the unis test-optional for fall-2022 undergrad applications?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hello, I am not sure which test you are referring to. Regardless, the only source for this information is going to be the admissions website of the school. It's probably too early to tell to be honest. I doubt they have made any decisions about the upcoming admissions cycle.

[@southtext3400]

What made you choose the schools you chose to apply to?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

I applied to these schools because they accepted out-of-field applicants and had the leveling coursework built into their curriculum.

[@southtext3400]

We can see the logo of the school you chose on your shirt in the thumbnail. Congrats on Memphis!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

thank you!

[@ingrid78]

Great job!! I came across your page by accident. Absolutely love your content. I am a community college transfer student myself, your information is very relatable. Has anyone on here applied or taken the CSUN SLP graduate program? Any feedback on that would be amazing !

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Thanks for watching! You could probably get in touch with some CSUN alumni on gradcafe or the SLPgradschool subreddit.

[@melissasanchez7268]

Girl, so exciting. I want to get into the MPH program at SJSU

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Melissa, that's great! SJSU has a lot of amazing grad programs. I hope it works out for you!

[@vishwamehta2225]

UCLA is such a competitive school, after completing your graduation from such a prestigious university why did you applied to university of Memphis as your choice which has around 85 percent acceptance

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

There is so much that goes into choosing a school than its rank or reputation; chiefly, the alignment of the school with your specific needs and interest. Anyway, the number you cited is likely the acceptance rate for undergraduate students. Admissions for SLP programs are highly competitive and the acceptance rate for the cohort at UofM is slightly above 40%.

[@vishwamehta2225]

Thank you so much! It is so nice that you take the time and effort to answer every doubt in the comment section 🥰 best wishes for you🥳

[@georgewilbert]

Also important to look at more than just acceptance rate or total school rank when talking about rankings. Especially grad school, but undergrad as well. University of Memphis is ranked 31st in the country for SLP. Right below Columbia and before University of Michigan according to US News
