I am new to this thread. I was/am trying to get into Speech Pathology programs. Long story short, my first choice was to apply for School Psychology programs. My husband is in the Navy, and there are no schools near us, so I had to change direction. I'm glad I found this thread and hope to get some good information.
First question: How competitive is it to get in? People are being rejected from SLP programs with 3.8 Gpa's. I was wait-listed.
Second question: I have seen a couple of NASP approved distance learning programs. Has anyone applied to those, or know their reputation?
Third question: What are the schools looking for?
I have over six years experience teaching high school. Work experience with kids on the spectrum. Numerous years of tutoring experience. Teaching abroad experience. A good Aw score on the GRE. (5) and a gpa above a 3.5 for last sixty hours.
I've shadowed a School Psychologist. and have a lot of volunteer hours.
I appreciate any insight provided. Thanks and good luck to everyone waiting to hear from schools.
I do not have an research experience in School Psychology.
