Hi all!
So I've been reading the threads from the past few years (SO helpful) and decided to start one for this year! I would appreciate any advice from people who have gone through the application process, and would love to hear from people applying for the fall 2017 season as well. Does anyone have any advice on narrowing down options of schools to apply to? I'm looking for a Ed.S. Program that is:
1. NASP accredited
2. Affordable (possibility of funding, assistantship, out of state tuition waiver, etc.)
I have some schools in mind mostly based on location and tuition but I don't really know much about many of the programs on the NASP website.
Any advice, things you wish you had known, information about programs, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
Do you know of any programs that are well-respected but still affordable? I have a 3.96 undergrad GPA, am currently studying for the GRE, and have experience working with both young children with disabilities as well as culturally diverse youth. However, I have no research experience. Will this affect my chances of getting in to a good specialist program?
