OverCaffeinated

nope, its pretty much a choice of psych/ling etc mine is mental health and ling canada doesnt have a comd undergrad at all

awesome thanks thats funny, cause just yesterday i was like oh new zealand... :0 if i wanna email the schools, i'll ask them about international students, is there anything else i can ask? i kinda wanna ask what theyre focused on.. but i am not sure how to go about doing that... it seems so weird asking them any of that stuff...

my CSD is gonna be great my last 60 is also gonna be great my CGPA is garbage.... so ive tried looking at some of the unis that focus mostly on the last 60 credits. and honestly none of them are the ones im interested in but i guess i will have to apply to them anyway

u guys keep saying that MGH is competative, edfind says GPA: 2.46-3.99 Number of Applications Received: Full-time Students: 458 Part-time Students: 0 Total: 458 Number of Admission Offers: Full time: 144 Part time: 0 Total: 144 that doesnt seem that bad to me...

my real interest lies in rehab. so like teaching people how to speak again after car accidents and such. but research shows that autism disorders are growing world wide. so the smarter choice would be that. so im still on the fence ... but i think im leaning towards autism... and if i do choose autism i think it would be younger kids or school aged kids. definitely not adults

i agree.. i dont know what a safe school would be... none of the canadian schools are safe at all cause there is only like 5-6 of them.... i thought texas was less competitive i read that somewhere on here... maybe i read wrong... :s

that was comprehensive. thanks so much! ive been lurking the forums and such, and my top choices are california for (youre right) the weather, NY - because its my favourite city on the planet, and honestly doing my slp there would be a dream. rush cause i heard good things about the graduates and the jobs they get. and boston because of the variety of choices i can take honestly, i'll be taking a line of credit, so couple grand here and there wont make a difference, im already so much in debt its not even funny... im sure like most of us are.

these are choices... for now.... my choices university of nevada emerson hawaii st johns hunter CUNY SDSU ut dallas california state san diego state texas at austin vanderbilt dalhousie mgh nazareth mcgill western uoft st rose brooklyn cuny ithaca and i was wondering if anyone has any pros and cons? ive been doing crazy research, i have notes upon notes on SLP but i have a few issues im from canada, so its really easy to tell when a university/college is private, but im having a hard time telling an american one apart. I will be applying to Canadian unis but my choices are american since my CGPA is in the toilet. like actually. they dont exactly advertise that they are private, how do you know? out of these can someone tell me if theyre competitive vs less competitive. can someone tell me if maybe some of these arent that great? im planning to do my communication disorders assistant next year after i finish my undergrad. would take make a difference to any of these schools? Im volunteering with an SLP clinic so I will have reference from there and a ton of hours. Im hoping that will give me an edge along with my GRE scores.. (preparing for gre still)

That being said... When I apply should I apply with a Chicago address right away? Or apply with my Canadian address and switch to an American one later...

Are you saying if I get an apartment in Chicago I can pay in state tuition? Even if I'm a Canadian citizen? Cause that would really make my day right now cause "international tuition' is like 5x the cost!

hey, i have a question not specifically to chicago but thats where i am going. im going to be traveling from canada. so living somewhere downtown, but diriving once in a while to see the fam back in toronto. i'll have an ontario licensed car and an apartment and a canadian drivers license... will the state make me get an american drivers license? because it seems otherwise i have no proof i live in chicago... is that correct? or will the university give me like a temporary card with my address...? how does it work?

im having a hard time finding the difference between master of arts or master of science in the speech language pathology field right now my first choice is RUSH uni in chicago for Msc, however the uni of Il is right there with an MA... there is also an MEd in SLP? i just dont want to do an MA and then have doubts as to weather i didnt get hired because someone with an MSc did... thoughts? thanks
