    It is certainly an option that those students who have the disposition to learn proactively should consider! Not as good as a 3D program, but it can be better than nothing.

    I think this really depends on the student and the school.  I am completing my SLP post-bac classes online through 2 different schools.  I have had an entirely different learning experience from each school.  One has online live online lectures and research papers (UAA), and the other is more self-paced and has more projects that help apply the information (UMT).  I applied to a couple of online graduate programs, but I have decided that I would personally be more engaged and have a better learning experience by being surrounded by my peers on-campus.  I am a very hands-on learner.  Reading concepts in a book don't really "stick" with me as much as seeing/doing.  At the same time, the online programs tend to require more field experience (that you have to find on your own).  I noticed that UNC required employment.  Online is way more self-directed.  I feel like this really is a personal preference based on what you know about your own personal learning style and self-motivating abilities.  If the online style works for you, then I don't see why it wouldn't be equal in quality to an on-campus program.

    I don't know why either.  If you did well in statistics, you will be fine scoring standardized assessments.
    I'm in my second semester as a graduate student, and I did horrible on the math portion of the GRE.  
    I've done several diagnostics and have used lots of different standardized assessments.  I've also given standardized assessments to clients.  All you need to do is simple addition and subtraction and have a basic understanding of statistics. Converting raw scores is very simple and straight forward.  Attention to detail and analysis skills are more important than a GRE quantitative score.

    ToshaSLP got a reaction from Lunalulu2 in 3.4 GPAs   
    I got accepted with an overall gpa of 2.99, but my CSD gpa is 3.83. My first degree was in vocal-performance, and I have experience working with children with autism. I got accepted at the university I'm currently taking online post-bacc classes at. It's an online grad program as well. I think I got admitted because I'm currently successful in their post-bacc program, and I had good LOR's and a good SOP (I had it looked over by a writing center). I honestly thought I would get rejected because of my overall gpa, but that's not all they look at. I focused on making all other areas of my app really great. Oh, and I had GRE scores of V:157 Q:151, so not amazing, but definitely acceptable. Good Luck!!
