I am going to finish my undergrad in CSD this fall semester and have been preparing to apply for spring semester for the graduate programs at the University of Central Florida, Baylor University, and University of Texas - Dallas.
There is not a lot of graduate schools that do spring admissions and I feel like maybe I should hold my applications until fall because there will be more options of schools available.
I guess basically I'm worried about attending UCF or Baylor because of their rankings as compared to many other SLP graduate programs such as University of Florida or University of Texas Austin. UTD has a great SLP program, which I am well aware of, so I am not too worried about that, but I have been reading blogs and comments online about UCF and Baylor that are making me really ambivalent about applying there. I am from New York and have no idea about Texas or Florida schools.
Should I just wait until next fall? Or should I not care about rankings and get my masters earlier?
