Hey all- Congrats to those of you who have been admitted! I've been following the thread for a long time but haven't posted yet. This is my first year applying for the graduate program but my hopes of being accepting are dwindling. I applied to 10 schools and so far have been rejected from 5, Wait Listed at St. Xavier, and I am still waiting to hear back from Florida Atlantic University, Seton Hall, Montclair State and William Paterson University. I graduated from NYU this past September with a major in Communicative Science and Disorders. My overall GPA was a 3.1 since I did somewhat poorly in 2 major classes (Anatomy & Physiology and Acoustic Phonetics) my sophomore year. I never retook the classes at NYU, but am regretting that now. Since I don't know if I'm going to be accepted any where this year, I thought y'all might have some insight into what to do to boost my application for next year. Do you think I can retake those classes online (or at another school) so schools I apply to can see the new grade I get to override the other? Or am I out of luck since they probably should have been taken at NYU while I was still there? I've thought about asking NYU if I could take them this summer, since I know they are offered but I'm not sure if they'd let me since I have already graduated. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
