Best of luck to all of you! I hope everyone's hard work pays off
I've heard back from one of the schools and it happens to be my first choice so the wait is over for me but I thought I'd share my stats to give you an idea of what's considered to be "competitive enough" or acceptable.
- subGPA: 3.72 (but A's and A+'s in the prerequisites)
- cGPA: only 3.2 (so those of you who are worried that their cGPA might ruin their chances, you have hope!)
- 1.5 years of volunteer experience (hospitals, schools, private clinics)
- 1.5 years of research experience in SLP with publications (research experience is not expected; I think it just shows your genuine interest in the field)
- strong recommendation letters from 3 SLPs in addition to 2 academic referees
Good luck everyone! April 1 is just around the corner
