Hey everyone, I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in speech-language-hearing with a minor in psychology and, while I don't have to start applying to graduate programs too soon, I wanted to see what my options were so I would know what I can work towards. Unfortunately, I didn't do too well during my first year in college so my GPA is far from spectacular and that's what's been worrying me the most. I'm aiming to apply to programs located in the Midwest unless, when the time comes, I'd have to expand to other regions. At this point, I can see myself with a 3.2 to 3.3 overall GPA by the time application season comes around. Possibly a 3.4 if everything works out. However, I'll still have three semesters to go before everything is set in stone. While my overall GPA is low, my major GPA is definitely higher. I have also been getting into a lot of volunteer work, such as spending a portion of the summer working at a summer camp for children with speech impediments, finding shadowing opportunities, and volunteering to teach English to non-native speakers. Would anyone be willing to suggest some less competitive schools in the Midwest? Thank you!
