  2. Sorry, I just saw this. I'm sure you did wonderfully since it's all about you!! (:
  3. I interviewed 1/21 and they said they were doing interviews on 2/4 and 2/11. A total of 75 interviews for 20 spots! They said we would find out any time between the Monday after and February 15th. I was told I got accepted yesterday! (: Goodluck!
  4. Hi everyone, I will be applying next fall and will be visiting open houses and taking tours of about 20 schools this summer. A handful of which will be next week during spring break. Do you have any advice on what questions to ask them while I'm there? I'm the only one who's ever gone to college in my family and I applied blind to my undergraduate school so I'm unsure of what to ask to get the most information in such a short amount of time. I really appreciate any help you can give! (:
  5. I don't know If you will check this again, but I figured I'd answer in case you do look at it periodically. I am currently at Stockton University in NJ and will be graduating this upcoming Fall. I went to community college first and then headed to Stockton. 1. Is she better off going to a college where they offer both undergrad and graduate degrees in SLP so that she can, hopefully, just stay in one place for all 6 years? While this would be helpful, not every school prefers their students over others. There are some graduate schools that do not like other schools for example from what I've heard Temple and Montclair are not fans of Stockton's students. 2. Would anyone recommend an accelerated 5 year program such as what is offered at Boston University? I would recommend any 5 year program first and foremost. Graduate school is difficult to get into for even the perfect student and being immediately admitted is the greatest opportunity she can have. I personally wish I would have looked into that when I was in high school as it would have saved me the current stress I am going through wondering if I'll get in. 3. Does it really matter where you do your undergrad as long as you excel at whatever school you chose to go to??? It matters in the sense of what the program is like, but I don't believe graduate schools care about big name universities over a regular state school. 4. Does a big name school such as University of Virginia or NYU really mean that much in this profession? Big names do not mean anything in this profession, getting into graduate school and the praxis are the most important. 5. If you could go back to your senior year in high school is there anything different that you would do as far as applying to undergrad schools knowing what you know now about the education process for SLP? If I could go back to senior year (pretending I had your daughters GPA), I would make sure that I volunteered many places, shadowed SLP's if I could, and or worked in the disability community in any way possible. 6. Is there any advice you can give her based on your college experiences in SLP? My advice is to make sure she goes to a school that she loves and gets involved. The more she takes pride in her school the better she will do. Get leadership positions, shadow SLP's early, make connections with every professor whether they are for a core class or not, this will help when it comes to recommendations. Start studying for the GRE early and also the most important that I wish I would have known is save up about $2,000 just for graduate school apps, GRE's, Grad school open house visits, and any other expense. They are awfully expensive, and that limits many chances when applying to graduate schools. If you have any other questions please feel free to reply. I will do my best to help! (:
