Thank you for the responses! So the bottom line is that it would be perfectly fine for me to simply focus on studying for the GRE and constructing my SOP since I already have some experience volunteering/shadowing/interning?

My GPA is a 3.71, and I'm hoping to raise it to at least a 3.8. I've also started GRE prep, but I just didn't know if it was common to have an extensive list of extracurriculars and/or volunteer experience because of the amount of applicants with great GREs and GPAs alone.

Hey all! I'm planning on applying to grad schools for Fall 2017 and was just wondering what kind of volunteer work, experience, etc. everyone has on their resumes in order to distinguish them from other applicants. Is it mainly all just SLP-related experience/volunteer work? I've done some shadowing and currently have an internship, but I don't feel like that's nearly enough. I'd like to get involved in undergraduate research, but my university doesn't offer it, and I live in a town with limited access for volunteer opportunities in the field. I'm always on the hunt for new opportunities though! I guess what I'm getting at is how much overall experience/accolades does everyone have, what is it/are they, and how much is actually related to speech pathology? Any insight would be fantastic!
