not sure where youre applying to but im guessing SLP? then 3 academics is better in my opinion. audio is kinda not 'really' related so i think 3 csd would be strongest

i know CSDCAS allows for 2 majors, but ORPAS doesnt. as buggy as CSDCAS is right now it seems to include a lot more details than ORPAS -

anyone else kinda annoyed that orpas has no space for awards or leadership..? or i cant find it...? i mean im putting the leadership under volunteering right now, but its asking for site population characteristics... not impressed with the way this is organized right now. unless ofcourse i just simply cant find it -

ORPAS is finally open! and I already have a question. For the pre req forms, any idea what the heck the URL is for? I was able to find one URL for a couse syllabus for one of my courses... but no course websites for any of them. Any idea what comment or URL theyre looking for? -

Recommendation Letters
OverCaffeinated replied to gosparkgo's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
So what I heard from my faculty on the ad com is that some of them will read the first 3 (your top 3) and the skip the other 2. And some of them said they will read all 5 because they all have something to contribute. So I would get more than 3 only if the other 2 are strong enough that if they're read they will add to your admissions package. If the other 2 are trepid I feel like it will be more damaging rather than helpful. My 2 cents. -
personal statement length?
OverCaffeinated replied to n22's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Unless there's a specification (and there usually is. Try emailing ) I would keep it 3000 characters. I think that's about 500 words -
my grades in first 2 years sucked and the grades in my last 2 years are fantastic. i was told not to mention the grades unless i was sure i could spin it in a good/ flattering way. a lot of people told me not to do it. so i wont be including it. dealers choice though, i mean it could be damaging if written wrong, or it could help your overall persona stand out.

well he would be one of the 2 academic ones and the third will be an SLP I have been working with. Or do you think that he should be the 3rd one, leaving the Slp out entirely and the first 2 should be professors of some of my courses....?

I thought I had this one in the bag however someone mentioned to me that they will be not be asking our research supervisor for a letter because they have not taken a course with him. i have been working 9 months now with a professor who is on the admissions committee of my top choice grad school. Tell me Im not crazy and thats a good choice for a rec letter? i know the prof wont be able to read the letter, however it is a better choice than just to ask a professor who knows me right?

Education-Focused Graduate Programs
OverCaffeinated replied to kharkins's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
im pretty sure a lot of the people in slp want the school aged children. i cant know for sure, but ive worked with a lot of slps, mostly in a school setting. those who work with the elderly population, also have a school setting during the day, etc it shouldnt be a problem you should do more research on the particular area you live in though, just to be sure -
cant say about the other things, but ASL will not. theres not a lot of ASL use in SLP.

Worried about my GRE score :(
OverCaffeinated replied to SLP student's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
its hard to say. some schools have a gre and gpa cut off. in those schools u wont be able to get in but some schools look at the overall application, i think in those schools you have a pretty good chance. i would look for schools who take a holistic approach to admissions. -
