With everyone in the midst of application hell, lol, I thought it would be neat to see what, if anything, makes you unique? Experiences, background, employment, etc. I have been a licensed massage therapist for over 10 years and I recently started back into the modality of craniosacral therapy. I started exploring and found some connections and cross over between CST & speech development issues. Not sure if it will help my application but it's fascinating!

That's where I'm torn... I have the 2 academic professors as well as a local well known expert SLP who I have been working with. So I have all the required and was thinking of adding the other for good measure. Still not sure but leaning towards no.

Thank you!!

Like everyone else I am up to my neck in grad school applications. I swear its a full time job itself, lol! Background: 3.6/3.7 GPA taking GRE in a few weeks Nontraditional student (married w/2 kids) I have my letters of recommendation in the works but I had an idea and wanted some input. I have been a massage therapist for the past 12 years and have recently startied exploring any potential crossover into the field of speech. I have several clients that have been with me for years and I was thinking of asking one of them (CEO, Ivy League educated) to write a letter on my behalf from the side of a patient. He can't speak of my academic ability which is really the point but since I have those covered, I thought this might be a ice addition...kind of thinking outside the box. Yes/no? Thoughts?

Me three, lol!!

Good Morning everyone I'm starting my last year at West Chester University and getting ready to start the application process. I'm a "non-traditional" student at 36 and married with 2 children. Because of my family situation I am limited to local universities or online for graduate school. I will be applying to West Chester, Temple and LaSalle. I have been obsessively checking and comparing admission stats, lol. Praying I get in somewhere!! Nice to "meet" everyone

Bumpity bump bump... saw some acceptances listed

I'm curious if anyone here has been accepted to any of these... I will be applying next year and I'm trying to see what I'm up against, lol.

I'll actually be applying for Fall 2014 admission...I graduate in Spring 2014 from West Chester University. I'm married with 2 little ones so I don't really have an option of moving. I will be applying to West Chester, Temple and LaSalle, which are all local for me and probably one of the Distance Programs. Trying to get an idea of the stats of those approved to any of those programs to see what my chances are, lol.

Newbie here... good luck to everyone!!! I will be applying for Fall 2014 and I'm constantly checking on the stats of those accepted to the schools I will be applying to. It's stressing me out so I can't imagine the stress on all of you, lol. Hope everyone gets some good news today!!
