  1. I would definitely ask the SLP professor. The bio professor's letter may be good, but since it was for one online course, it won't carry much weight. Not having an SLP related letter could make it seem like you did your post-bac, but weren't a good student in it/didn't form any connections. It could look like you're a fantastic psych student and researcher, but not successful in SLP (most likely not how it really is, just how it could seem to the committee when they are reading other's letters that are all about SLP stuff). It look like you have a strong resume though so best of luck!
  2. I would say focus on school the rest of this semester and get grades that can bump up that gpa even a tiny bit and show that you're most recent work is awesome. Also you need to think about how much time you'd study and if you think its realistic for your quant score to go up a significant amount in 21 days. My professors have told me that verbal and written are most important, and yours look good. However, I'd also think about the relevant work experience you have, letters of rec, your personal statement, and about the schools you are looking at. My biggest advice would be to expand the schools you're applying to. I'm not sure if you are applying to masters programs at the schools you listed or post-baccs, but for the masters programs, CU Boulder and U of the Pacific each get around 400 applications and only accept like 17%. They are super competitive schools that super students still get rejected from. If you're only applying to their post-baccs then ignore what I said. However, I'd still apply to more than four and look at how competitive they are. Use ASHA's edfind if you haven't http://www.asha.org/edfind/search.aspx !
  3. Everyone I've talked to has said that you need at least two from CSD professors and the other one can be from someone else (but really should be from a professor as well). I'd for sure ask the two professors for LOR. Try to get to know another teacher within the next month, you've had classes from them and are taking classes from them now. But if you still feel that you're bosses LOR will be 100 times better, then go for it. Since they give you the option to have an outside person write it, they can't be to upset about it.
  4. I know acceptance is going to depend on a lot of other factors, but just looking at the GRE, what do you consider a good, sound score? What scores did you use/plan to use? I got a 158V and 158Q. After taking the test, I was very happy. Since then though, I've looked on different blogs and people say they got 162 and aren't happy. I'm in the Midwest, but am planning on applying to competitive schools in the region, specifically The University of Kansas and The University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I'd rather not have to spend time focusing on the GRE for another month. Thanks for any thoughts!
  5. Your writing itself looks really good (grammar, conventions, word use, etc). One of the biggest things I saw when studying for the GRE was to make sure that your points are 100% related to the topic. You may come up with some awesome points, but it may only partially relate to the issue. I think that is kinda what happened with your GRE example. It related because you're talking about correcting negative, however the question asks about negative actions and I don't think answering a question wrong would quite count as a negative action, more of just a mistake. I think a better example was of the child putting away the dishes and interrupting. So I'd just make sure you have a thesis and two solid points that are clearly related!
