Awesome advice, thanks so much

I commend you for going back to school and taking a chance. I am also an older student in my 30's and feel a bit intimidated by it all. Best of luck to you!!

Awesome scores, how did you study for the verbal section? I'm having such an issue with getting the vocab words to stick!

Very impressed with the stats here I am in a different boat though!! I am applying for Fall 2014 and feel a little pessimistic. Here's what I got.... BA in Psych-3.1 GPA overall & 3.5 in the major 18 credits of pre-req's in SLP-3.75 GPA 1 semester TA 2 semesters Research Asst Nsshla member -4 month internship doing cognitive therapy with Alzheimers patients -3 months volunteering at a Rehab Facility & observing SLP's -50 volunteer hours at a hospital -Just began volunteering in an after school program for children with Autism -25 clinic hours -Over 10 years experience as a office manager (I'm a career changer). Overall, I know that I have to really nail the GRE and my SOP. I have some great letters of rec as well, but I am still feeling like my Undergrad GPA is going to really hold me back. I'd appreciate any feedback or recommendations on how to strengthen my application. Does anyone have any advice or study tips for the GRE, as well? Thanks and good luck to all

What was your strategy for studying the verbal section? 170 is a fabulous score, I envy you! BTW, I'm sure your scores are just fine and will land you a slot in a great program!

Do you have any advice on how you memorized those 2500 words? When I practice 50 at a time, I have to go over them again and again to get them to stick. I've heard word groups help but all the words seem to blend together after awhile.
