I live in Seattle and must emphasis its greatness. I have lived in New York City, Washington DC, Portland OR, Burlington VT, Oaxaca Mexico, Lisbon Portugal, and Fairfield CT and feel my opinions are pretty well rounded. I do not want to leave Seattle. I am planning on attending the UW post bacc and hopefully the Grad program because of how much I love it here. If you have been offered admission I would definitely recommend accepting!

Hoping to apply Fall 2014 to UW- Seattle. Was hoping some Fall 2013 applicants cound share their credentials to give me an idea of what to expect... Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Because I am looking at Post-Baccs, I have a pretty good start on my personal statement. At this point, it's doing the research to figure out what's going to make my application stand out as 1 of the 30 to admit instead of 1 of the 500 who apply. I speak Spanish fluently and have Portuguese experience so I am beginning to look into some international volunteering over the summer to take a bilingual approach in addition to some local job shadowing and volunteering in clinics... I just imagine that everyone who applies has similar backrounds (experience in education, tutoring, SLP clinics, etc) so I am brainstorming how to make my application stand out to catch and hold the admissions comittee's attention.

Thanks so much for all the words of advice. I am eager to get into school and start my program and the more I learn the more I realize to take my time and put all the pieces in place. Any thoughts from applicants of Fall 2013- things you would have done differently or wish you'd thought of before applying?

Is a post-bacc advantageous to an application in lieu of pre-reqs? I have the opportunity to take my pre requisite courses at University of Washington with the potential to get accepted into their post-bacc. Is it worth an easy acceptance at Portland State U or the time and chance with UW...

I am building my way toward Grad school in SLP. I've applied to Portland State University's Post Bacc program and was wondering if anyone knows how competitive it is? I also wonder if a Post Bacc could ever put an applicant at a disadvantage for any reason beside grades. Could a post-bacc at a less competitive program hurt an application to a more competitive school?
