Hi! Congrats on being accepted!! I'm currently in the May 2021 cohort at Speech@Baylor. Classes are offered in afternoons and evenings. You have asynchronous assignments due the day before your live classes, but they are doable Working is doable as well. I'm on the part-time track so I am able to continue working full-time until I start my clinic placements. Message me if you have more questions!

Hi! I think it's important to have a balance of school, work, and extracurricular activities. Getting into a grad program in California is extremely competitive, but that does not mean it is impossible. I have some friends from my undergrad program including myself who got into grad school who did not have a 3.9 CSD GPA. It depends on where you apply, the program's application process/review, who writes your recommendation letters, and your personal statement. I graduated in 6 years, I chose that route because it helped me long-term prepare for my major courses. I took 2 CSD courses each semester and that worked for me. I got into an online program with a 3.3 CSD GPA (3.6 last 60 units-so I made that clear in my essay) with below average GRE scores. My story shows you don't need super high grades/stats to get into grad school. I believe CSD advisors wouldn't recommend double majoring because CSD is a rigorous program and it requires a lot of time, dedication, and preparation for graduate-level courses. I'm sure it has been done, I'm not trying to discourage you. Minoring in gerontology is great! Also know your limits. You don't want to spread yourself thin and your grades and your health suffering as a result. I think if you have a game plan and stay on top of all your school work (double-major or not), you'll be okay! Graduating in 4.5 years will not look bad to a graduate committee. I graduated in 6 years lol..They will focus on your application itself (grades/transcripts, GRE scores, essays, recommendation letters). If you choose to double-major, good luck and stay on top of everything! Start your stuff early Let me know if you have questions!!

Hello everyone! I'm starting grad school in a week (summer start) and I'm wondering how current and past graduate students do with note-taking? I tried typing notes in class one semester during undergrad and it didn't work out for me (slow typer and I don't type "properly" lol). I've been a pen to paper kid, but I'm curious about using an iPad and pen. 3/4 of my textbooks are ebooks this term since it was the cheapest route. One thing I would like to do is write on the pages of my ebooks. I also want to mention I'm a part-time student, 2 classes per term. Looking forward to reading your experiences, etc

Hi! Awesome No, I haven't checked recently. Maybe there's one now or will be in the near future.

Hello all! I was accepted into Baylor's online graduate program for speech-language pathology back in January. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone who'll be in the program with me! Not sure if there is a Facebook group page yet..

THIS ?

Good for you for talking about your experiences and warning others! One of my close friends had a friend/classmate who went to Chapman for their master's program and said they were not happy with their experience.

I received an acceptance yesterday afternoon! I'm conflicted as I have committed to my top choice. MWU has a great program and it's 30 minutes from me, but it's pricy and full-time ?

Hi! Congratulations on getting an interview! Everything is virtual. We completed a 30-minute writing sample (camera's on) where we received prompts in the chat, wrote the essay on a word document, and emailed it to the admissions counselor. We were called in groups of 3 doing individual interviews. They give you 15 minutes. It was relaxed and the professors want to get to know you and what inspires you to pursue a career as an SLP. I'd prepare a list of questions to help you prep and questions for them as well. Good luck!! Be confident and own it

Hi! Congrats on your interviews. I've completed 2 interviews and I was asked questions like "What made you want to pursue a career as an SLP?" and "Why do you want to attend ___ University." I recommend googling interview questions to start and work your way from there Definitely think about your answers beforehand and know what you want to share with those interviewing you. I had to complete a time writing sample as well. I had 2 options: write about a time you experienced failure or write about your experience working with diverse populations. Lastly. Be confident and own it! Let me know if you have more questions!

Thanks! MacPherson and LaCroix

Hi! I had my interview on Friday. The whole interview day went pretty well! I was a part of the first group to be interviewed. The faculty who interviewed me were welcoming and asked me questions I was ready to answer lol.. I was kind of nervous, but I think it went well. I think I did okay on writing sample too. Overall, I walked away from the experience feeling positive What was the interview process like for you and when did you find out about your admission status?

Hi! I did submit a personal statement. I figured why not do it and see what happens lol

Very awesome! Thanks for the tips My GPA and GRE scores aren't anything to brag about. They're not strong but I plan to talk about my work and tie them into speech path.

So I know this is over a year old, wanted to give an update. I reapplied and have an interview scheduled for next Friday via Zoom
