dial1010usa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Smartypants14- I'm glad you started this. This will help many of those who are applying in spring or next fall. GradCafe is a great help to everyone in anyways and every ways. What are you planning to do till spring? My daughter is trying to get into SLPA program if she get in. Its very competitive. She will be working at the same time to gain more experience. She will do volunteer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartypants14 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 im seriously considering going abroad to teach English. Some programs pay for your training and living. If not, then im going to retake the GRE, look for a job with an adult clientele, take a Spanish fluency exam, andddd...possibly volunteer? dial1010usa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missthang Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I had an adviser at the career services center look at mine. Not sure if your school has something like that or not but I am forever grateful for his help! It's great to get an outsider's opinion on it because any one who personally knows you might not give you a good critique (like my mom thought my rough draft was perfect and he scratched through half of it and said "try again!"). I met with this graduate adviser (not sure of his actual title, but he helps with writing personal statements, interviewing, resume building, and of course finding programs and their requirements) 3 times over the Fall semester and once he finally gave his stamp of approval, I then took it to the writing center to make sure any grammar, punctuation, etc. was caught before sending it off. Our university has a specific graduate school person who only works with graduate students so I asked if I could use her rather than a fellow student who works in the main writing center. She helped me with a few sentences that needed a little revamping to get rid of the "I believe.... I think.... I want...." sentences. It was fine to have a few start out that way but of course I didn't want so many of them starting off with "I". Definitely get someone who has read tons because they know what will catch your reader and what they want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
