  1. Do you guys know how many applications they got this year and how many they accepted? I am also considering applying there and looking into some other programs as well. I would like to get some idea about overall numbers. Thanks.
  2. I wish I could do that. My native language is Turkish and I think there is no hope for me to find a school having Turkish in their program. I am so interested in Bilingual programs though. I studied German also, but I am not as fluent at it as I am in English.
  3. Great thread! I would love to hear about California schools. It is competitive for sure. But have no other choice. Thanks for all the information everyone!
  4. Yes, in order to get financial aid, you have to apply for second bachelors. Just taking by prerequisite classes, schools do not provide financial aid. That was the reason for a lot of people switch to second bachelors even though they start as non degree seeking students. I am also a Utah State online second bachelors student. I will graduate in May. I would highly recommend it. Prof are very nice and helpful. It is tough at times, I admit you will need to study A LOT! However at the end, you will feel confident that you know a lot about the field.
  5. I am using windows phone and I wish there were some useful apps for windows. I would be so happy. Anyone knows any? I have magoosh one, it is pretty helpful. But I wish there were more.
  6. Do you have any friends working as an Occupational Therapist or Physical therapist, maybe even an assistant? They generally have friends working as SLPs. My friend called all her friends and her friends called all their friends. Eventually I found some SLPs to observe. Otherwise it would have been impossible for me to get some observation as well. It is really irritating I know.. It seems like nobody wants to help even though they had the same issues years ago. Good luck!
  7. Occupational Therapy can be considered close to speech therapy. I have a friend working at school district as an OT and she loves her job. As far as I heard, Occupational Therapy assistants are also in high demand. They have also better income compared to a SLPA. My friend really tried to convince me for a while to go for OT.
  8. I totally agree! I enjoyed all the classes I have been taking! All the professors are very helpful and they are very good at their field. I am so glad I am a student of USU. I will ask for recommendation letters from them, I have to actually. Hopefully I will be able to get at least 2. I would be sooo happy! I also highly recommend USU for prerequisites or second bacc. In my opinion, USU has been doing this for a long time and they are expert about it. Good luck!
  9. Pandasa, I am a current student of Utah State University. I am taking my prerequisite classes and thinking to take my ASHA requirement classes from them as well. This is my second term. I have taken 6 classes so far. I wanted to let you know that it is pretty intense. Their 2nd bac. is 12 classes total, I think. Which means you will need to take 6 classes per term (fall and spring) or maybe divide into 3 terms (fall-spring-summer, they have a summer term) and take 4 classes per term. This second is more doable, but I tell you their classes are intense, you will need to study very hard as most grad schools want to see all A's in the post-bac transcripts. As you know the field is very competitive. Also, you should give a decision pretty soon. Fall term classes of Utah start in August 25, if I am not mistaken. Briefly, Utah online is doable! I like their system and I would recommend it. Hope this helps!
  10. They do not have an app for windows phones, right? The only ones I see on their webpage are IPhones and Android. I wish they created an app for windows phones.
  11. I am planning to get Magoosh as well. You have a three month period. So I think it would be very helpful. Good luck!
  12. Oh great!!! It says there they extended it. I was not sure if that was for only once. Big difference in the price. Thank you !!!
  13. Does Magoosh always have discounts?? I am planning to take GRE next year, but I will not be able to study for the next couple of months. I see it has a huge discount now, I really do not want to miss it. Thank you!
  14. Thank you so much!! That is very helpful!! I am thinking to try CSUN. I am a bilingual as well. I also studied German and trying to learn Spanish which is highly important in SoCal I see. I have worked as an English Language Teacher in Turkey for 7 years. I have done 25 hours of observation here in USA in a school district, just to get some general idea. Also volunteered in a Rehab again to see how it is with seniors. I just do not have any work experience here in US. This is my second year here and I am an online student of USU taking prerequisites. Online masters would work perfect for me. I am wondering me having no work experience here would affect my application in a bad way? I saw that you got rejected from CSUN though... My GRE is awful, I am studying for it for a better score. I am not a native, so it is like hell for me. I am just trying to decide on what to do. I do not want to waste my time for something that I can never get.. During my observation hours, I loved the department! I feel like I can do it. Thanks again.
  15. twinguy, For your applications above, what other extra stuff did u submit other than your GRE and GPAs? Any observation hours, voluntary work, work experience?? Thank u!
  16. Can somebody tell me what CSUN statement of purpose criterias?? How many words, tell them about what?? There must be some information about it. I just cannot find anything about it on their webpage. I am thinking to contact advisor, just wanted to check with you guys as I see some of you applied there before. Thanks.
  17. Congrats to you guys! My application for Redlands Uni is rejected. I am so much wondering what your GPA's and GRE's etc. are like. What other stuff did you present them in addition? Thank you.
