Hi all! I am currently a junior speech pathology major at a small school. Due to the size of our school and the size of our program, only two to three speech path classes are offered a semester, and they are only offered at certain times. For example, the three classes I just started for this spring semester are only offered in the spring of even numbered years. I have 25 observation hours along with 16 hours and 15 minutes of clinical practicum (field work). My grades for my major classes have been ok (A's and B's mostly), and my other classes. My overall cumulative GPA is a 3.369. Due to some personal things at home and a death in the family, I decided to for-go participating in field work this semester. (It would have been close to 40 hours of field work by the end of the semester.) My question being: if I take this semester to get my grades up and my head straight, did I mess up by not taking the clinical practicum class? I'd like to go to graduate school and pursue a Master's degree, but I've been worried that my GPA and clinical hours will not be good enough. I still have a year left to get hours, but how much do clinical hours matter in grad school applications? Thank you
