I took a Kaplan course which was a bit pricey but definitely helped with some strategies on how to approach different question types. I'm sure you could also get those strategies from the test prep books but I personally needed a class sort of setting.

There was actually no interview (at least I didn't have one) which I was surprised by! I fulfilled the speech prerequisites as a post bacc. My undergraduate GPA was a 3.6 and my post bacc (just the speech related classes) 4.0. My GRE was 4.5 on writing, 156 verbal and 150 math. Other than that theres the extracurriculars, personal statement, and recommendations. I had done a bit of volunteer work related to the field that I also incorporated into my statement. As far as recommendations go, Hunter didn't require recommendations come from speech professors/professionals whereas many/some of the other programs did/recommended it. At the open house, the director really emphasized that if someone can speak to your skills and write a great recommendation for you then have them write it. I had a recommendation sent from my undergraduate advisor (who worked closely with me on a senior research project) and a supervisor of one of my volunteer opportunities (who is an SLP). But you don't necessarily need that popular speech professor if you feel that letter won't be as detailed as you'd like.

I'm also wondering about this! Thought I'd bump this thread up in hopes of getting some insight! Thanks!

Yes! Would love info on Hunter if anyone has any! Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am attending NYU's admitted students welcome event next week and am wondering if anyone had any ideas about what the attire should be? Just some details, it is a breakfast with the faculty. Jeans seems too casual but I also don't want to be over dressed. My thoughts were dress pants and a nice blouse but I wanted to gage from a group what others thought? (I also hoped this thread could be helpful for anyone attending an admitted students event in this field). Thanks for any advice anyone can offer!

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had any updated information on NYU's program? A lot of the things that I have read have discussed disorganization and lack of personalized attention but they have also been posts from the 2006-2011 range. Is anyone in the program, an alumni of the program or have gone to a recent open house have some sort updated information? What is the program like in terms of support from professors and clinic experience? How heavy is the research expectation?--what I mean to ask is how does the research element play into the education on a day-to-day basis. I am very interested in research and theoretical aspects of SLP that NYU emphasizes but what does that look like in practice? In the professional world does NYU have a positive reputation? I know some of these may be very insider questions but if anyone on this blog has perhaps spoken to someone who attends about the program anything you could share would be a great great help! Thanks!!!
