Hi all - I'm considering applying to Molloy College in Long Island, NY, which is currently in the "pre-accreditation" stage of ASHA Certification. It has a five year trial run, if you will. My professors have always stressed the importance of ASHA Certification, but have never told us what would happen should we go to a school that isn't yet fully ASHA Accredited. What's the process for a school like this? Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject? Furthermore, if you've gone/go/know anyone who attends Molloy and want to give me some imput about the program in general, that would be awesome!

Hi everyone! I'm a current senior (eek!) at Iona College in New York and I'll be applying in the fall for grad school! I'm super nervous, as my GPA isn't the best and while I have lots of research, volunteer work, lots of club involvement and all those pretty resume boosters, my biggest concern is that there will be once glance at my numbers and that's it. So currently, I'm studying like mad for the GRE and I'm hoping to score well on that to balance out the less-than-decent grades. I eventually want to go on to work with swallowing disorders (I've a slight obsession with them, and I've no idea where it came from) so if anyone can offer any insight into schools that may have research or curricula in that area, I'd really appreciate the heads up! I'm taking my final two classes for the summer, which will bring my total to five classes since May, so I've not had much time yet to start my school research. That being said, I can't offer much as to where I plan on applying. I will probably apply out of New York, since living so close to Manhattan makes this a more competitive area than other places, or so I've been told. If anyone knows of any schools that have been known to accept those with lower GPAs, I'd take that direction, too! I'm certainly not resigning myself to not getting in anywhere, but I am prepared that it's a possibility. Best of luck to everyone! It's so nice to see such a friendly crowd!
