Any thoughts on Bank Street and Columbia? I can't find much information about Bank Street in terms of ranking

Does anyone have any insight/info/experience regarding Bank Street College of Education? Any advice regarding the application process (particularly the essays/interview) would be greatly appreciated.

Could anyone point me in the direction of the best online prep for the GRE. I am aware that Manhattan Prep seems to be the best of the best and I will mainly be using their materials (Strategy guides/5lb Book/Online Exams) as well as ETS. However, I need a program with a large volume of questions in order to practice pacing and endurance. Right now, I'm torn between the following options: 1. Barron's - offers 3,000+ practice questions and 4 exams for $69, 2. Kaplan - offers 2,500 practice questions for $200 Price is not a factor but value is! I am not interested in video lessons/explanations, just practice. I've been perusing the forums and I'm seeing a number of conflicting opinions on which of the two offers questions that are most like the actual GRE. Which of these quiz banks offers the most useful and realistic types of questions? Additional Info: I have a little over 3 months to prepare I have taken two full Kaplan practice tests and scored V: 154, Q:146 and V:157, Q:153 without any prep My goal scores are V: 165 and Q: 157.

Surprisingly, I'm having a difficult time finding somewhere related to Speech or Disabilities where I can volunteer in NYC. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can any seasoned applicants share what "safety schools" they applied to? I'm starting to believe that there's no such thing. All SLP programs seem to be extremely competitive.

I know that there are some SLP graduate programs that do not require prerequisites in order to apply or be accepted. However, given the competitive nature of the admissions process for programs, this seems to be impossible. Does anyone know of any success stories of being admitted to SLP graduate programs with little or no prerequisite courses?
