I got into Gallaudet!

Etoile · 03-24-2007, 12:53 AM

Well, I am not sure if this is the right place for this thread. I usually hang out over in the interpreting forum. But I wanted to share my good news.

I GOT ACCEPTED TO GALLAUDET!

I went to Western Maryland College many years ago but I dropped out. I did some other jobs, and for the past 5 years I have been an interpreter. I have always wanted to go back to school but I never had the time or money. But then I inherited some money...and Gallaudet started a B.A. program for interpreting...and so I decided to apply to go back to school.

I got into the HUG program, if you don't know what that is, it is Hearing Undergraduates. I'm going back to college full time! I am SO scared. I am going to be different from the rest of the students in a LOT of ways. I am older (26), I am hearing, I am shy, I will be living off-campus and driving to Gallaudet every day. So I'm pretty scared!

This is a HUGE change in my life but I am trying to look at it like it is a new adventure.

I am hearing. And yes, it is hard for hearing students to get into Gallaudet. So let's pretend you said "congratulations!" and leave it at that.

jillio · 04-04-2007, 02:26 PM

Congratulations!!

Defmusicman · 04-06-2007, 04:59 PM

For deaf , yes. As long that deaf person can comphrend and write like 3rd graders.

For hearing, not really. Gallaudet Univ only accept hearing as long that that hearing students do not make up more than 3 percent of undergraduate.

MaxUFC · 04-06-2007, 08:40 PM

Good luck!

And I will save "congratutions" to you when you get graduate from GU.
