oh, wow, thank you all so much for your input. i greatly needed all the different perspectives and i'm definitely more at ease. as for my current college, paying definitely isn't a strain and one of the (many) reasons i chose to attend the school. i'll be sure to talk more with my counselor about the prospective paths i can take, but i think i just might stay put, at least for the next two years, and figure out the rest as it comes. really glad to consider a field where so many people are willing to help :-) much, much thanks for all the thorough advice!!

Hi there! I'm currently finishing my senior year of high school (too young to be on these forums? ) and I've never felt more confused. Only after I submitted my statement of intent to register for college did I find out about speech language pathology, and ever since then I've been researching a career whose major isn't even offered. It's a tiny liberal arts college with none of the prerequisites offered. My degree will be a BA in liberal arts, with a concentration in social and behavioral sciences. And my college's unique curriculum makes it difficult, I think, to transfer out (eg a mandated study abroad junior yr). I'm in love with my school, but I definitely put myself in a disadvantage... I was planning on applying to 3 yr leveling masters programs, but after all this googling, it just seems kind of silly to pursue a pathway knowing from the start that I'll be an out of field applicant...is it too difficult to apply to only leveling schools, with no prerequisites? I feel like slp suits me so well. I don't want to give up so soon. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help! PS congrats on all your acceptances & hard work!!! (-:
