I just received an e-mail saying that I made it to the interview round at Boston University!!!! I can't even describe the weight that has been lifted off of my shoulders! I hope that you all receive good news in the near future!
@autismadvocate - quick question...Where did you get those admission stats? I was going off ASHA EdFind, but was told those numbers were out-of-date.
...like I need any help in my neurotic state....buuuut, I'd still be curious =)
Please and thank you!
A lot of schools sponsor some kind of in-house research colloquium or competition, others have conferences aimed at students and welcome undergrads. Do a research project and present it somewhere. I never asked my undergrad adviser about grad school because she wasn't particularly helpful. I did go to two of my professors that were familiar with my work and talk to them about my plans and ideas. They were full of advice. If you've got or have had a prof that's working in the stuff you're interested in, he/she's the one to go ask questions of. You can join your major's and/or interest's association, which offer student discounts and may offer methods for you to publish, present, or other types of research. Find one of you profs that's doing research and see if you can help with the project. You probably won't get any publication credit, but you can list it on your CV and have that prof write a letter of recommendation that mentions what you did.
