I applied to nine my first year, that was before I really had experience. Last year due to finances I only applied to four schools. I am looking into a wider variety of schools this year and paying closer attention to the average GPA and GRE scores of accepted students. I have found a couple of schools that accept students more than once a year and am in the process of applying to one at the moment. Your posts have given me some hope, thank you all for your help!

I have applied to master's programs for Speech-Language Pathology two years in a row now. The first year was while I was a senior (undergrad), the second time was the year right after I graduated. Both times I have been wait-listed to half the schools I applied to, but in the end was denied acceptance. My experience has more than doubled since my first year applying, I currently work part time in a preschool at a speech and hearing center. My GPA is only 3.4 and a 3.23 in my major (low for speech path students), and my GRE scores have been very average both times I have taken it. Has anyone had success in applying to graduate school a third year in a row? Any suggestions to make my application stronger, if I should even apply again? Thanks.
