I totally understand where you are coming from. I currently go to Baylor University. My GPA is not very competitive and because I switched majors so late in my academic career, I did not build the relationships I needed to build with my professors. I have gotten my recommendation letters, but I'm afraid they are not competitive enough. My Major GPA is around a 3.55 and overall is about a 3.38. Fortunately, I did pretty well on my GRE: V: 152 Q: 158 W: 4.0
I have shadowed an Audiologist who is writing one of my letters of recommendation so I'm hoping that helps me out. While I am from Texas, I am looking at a lot of programs up north. I visited the University of Pittsburgh, but did not have enough time/money to visit the other schools which I think might hurt me.
I am applying to: University of Pittsburgh (dream school), Salus University, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Ohio University, LSU, West Virginia, and probably a couple other schools. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I would also love to know where everyone ends up at! Don't give up, fellow AuD applicants!
