  1. I agree, there is no such thing as a "safe" school. I got rejected to the schools I thought weren't the most competitive. Just do your research, I used asha's ED find page to look at stats and see if I fit within their ranges and do your SOP for each school, I did a paragraph saying why I wanted to study there and I feel that helped a lot! I didn't do that for the "safety" schools and I feel that hurt me.
  2. PS. school is never a waste of time! you can do other things! Congratulations on your accomplishment, and remember things will fall into place
  3. Amvat, if this is your true passion please do not let anyone tell you that you can't! Please don't give up. I almost gave up my junior year and switched majors into family and child development and while I was in those classes I felt like I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this and I was sad because I didn't think I was good enough to get into graduate school for SLP (because of the constant saying of grad school is impossible to get into), but I decided to go back into the Com. Dis. major and do everything I could to bring my GPA back from a 3.2 to a 3.7 and apply to grad school! and I did it! I am so proud that I pushed myself to go for what I truly wanted and not be my own worst enemy! You prove that person wrong and prove to yourself that you can! Good Luck to you in any direction you choose, just choose what you love and what makes you happy!
  4. Nmsu also offers this. You apply as if applying for grad school as a "leveling student" which means you will complete a year of pre reqs but you won't have to reapply because you are already guaranteed a spot in the program if you finish all all pre reqs with a great of B or higher.
  5. Your percentiles are super good! I think that's a great score. 4 & higher is what they look for
  6. i know ENMU offers summer online classes they might offer it but im not sure but you should check
  7. My professor tells me ranking matters if you are trying to go for PhD but not for emoloyement
  8. Wow you'll have an amazing story for you statement of purpose. I believe passion is big but you also need to back it back with actions such as relevant experience and the number games such as GPA GRE and letters of recommendation! But if this is what you really want please pursue it!
  9. Would it be lame to get one of those rolling backpacks?? iv really don't want to carry all my books and laptop on my back
  10. I thought I was the only one who looked for stuff in garage sales!! Those kids have great stuff!!!! I can't wait to use all this great stuff! it's funny because all slps I know love pens! They even talk about them haha so not sad at all! Just a common SLP trait
  11. Oh and work on your statement early and really show your passion for the field, what your interests are and what it is about speech that will drive you to be a great grad student
  12. It may seem impossible to get in but have faith! I know it may not sound like actual advice but I drowned in anxiety thinking I wouldn't get in but you'll end up where you need to be. Research schools get good letters and work on your GRE! It all seemed easier when you actually start doing it instead of just thinking about it.
