    js got a reaction from Jolie717 in If you could go back in time to when you were applying for grad school and tell yourself one thing, what would it be?   
    As said above, try to relax... plan ahead, not in terms of completing applications (trust me, you'll get them done in time), but in terms of having something to occupy your time/mind/energy in the months between submitting apps and waiting for decisions. Chances are you will be a senior, you may even be part time, and suddenly you will go from the hugely active task of completing applications to the insanely passive task of waiting for responses. I would tell myself to sign up for a running race in early May and spend the spring training for the race. I would tell myself to set a goal of learning a new skill or hobby. You will need something to pass the time instead of just manically refreshing this website, CSDCAS, and the online portals for your programs. Something else, I would set a time (two times max) that I am allowed to check online for results/decisions etc. You will drive yourself insane refreshing webpages. Just relax! You have already done all the hard work! You will get in somewhere!

    Don't worry so much!  I convinced myself so badly that I wasn't going to get in anywhere that I felt nauseous for 3 months.  I ended up getting into one school outright, and into two off of their waitlists.  It's not worth making yourself sick over.

    js got a reaction from Crimson Wife in Very Low undergrad GPA, will a post-bacc help?   
    Something to consider is a second bachelor's degree. My first BA GPA was 2.73 (English). When I decided to go to school for SLP I found most post-bacc programs required a minimum GPA of 3.0. But since I already had a bachelor's, I applied as a transfer student and earned a second bachelor's, this time in SLP and it only took me two years. I didn't have to do distribution requirements. But every school could be different. My GPA this time was 3.98, and I was accepted to every program I applied to (one of them I was waitlisted, but was then accepted off the waitlist).
