Thanks for the encouragement girl:) You are totally qualified too, and have a great chance. I will pray that God's will is the TWU cycle 7 for us. I know seeing all of the applicants and how competetive it is gets so discouraging. I have never been confident person AT ALL, but I know I am a competent therapist( I will never know it all, but always open to learn new ideas and keep learning after those CCC's) It is frustrating when you know that you are actually passionate about a field and have SLP's tell you that you would make a excellent speech pathologist. It just stinks, because on my end I see so many teachers who end up hating their job and decide they will do speech therapy.. so take leveling classes and get in before therapists like us, who have had actual experience. It is not like we will make so much money when we get out:) lol we do it because we love OUR JOB. When addressing slp shortage that should be something that counts. I can tell you I can take the GRE five times and never have the highest scores ever, but I can see a child, and be able to screen, and see children without maximum supervision and know what I need to target. So as far as grad school, I may not be able to score high on Gre, but I would never even second guess myself not being a competent grad student. praying for you girl, and if you get in and I dnt I wish you the best and much deserved. Lets keep each other updated, because I cant wait to know. I am loosing sleep, and my mind in the process. lol I wrote sue colten an email regarding status, as I am sure many have. No response yet,but I will let you know if I hear a reply. They probably think I have lost my mind, which I might have somewhere in the process:) lets keep in touch. are you on facebook?
