    long story short: I have just finished my bachelor's last fall from CSUF. I also just took a SLPA course from Loma Linda and currently waiting on my license to be able to work as a SLPA. I plan on applying for grad school for next fall (or summer, if i can get into schools with a part-time track). here are some schools I'm thinking of applying to:

    University of Iowa

    University of Washington

    Portland State University

    Northern Arizona University

    University of the Pacific

    If any of you have been a SLPA prior to applying for grad school and have gotten into any of these schools, I would appreciate your input. My #1 concern are recommendation letters. I haven't made much "connections" with the professors during undergrad, I made a few but they were my general ed professors. It's obviously a bit too late for me to try and get to know them because I am done with undergrad. Where did you get your recommendations from? are SLP supervisors good to get those letters from? Also, definitely need help in study tips for the GRE, organizing grad applications, and how to do the statement of purpose. 

     

    HELPPPP.

    these are the only questions I could think of for now. LOL. but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! thank you!!

    I have a 3.4, 303 GRE and worked as a SLPA for one year. I got into NAU's summers only program. NAU does allow you to apply to both full time track and summers only track with the same application. I got into 4 other programs in Texas, Arizona, Alabama, and Tennessee. I advise to apply to different states and some "safety" schools that don't get as many applicants.  I got one undergrad professor for LOR, my clinical supervisor/teacher for the SLPA program, and my current SLPA boss. Study tip for GRE, I used Magoosh. It's 100% online and you can do a little bit a day. Worked great! Raised my score 13 points in just a few months of studying. Good luck!

    Anyone else doing the UT-El Paso writing prompt tonight?  I have a Skype interview with OLLU next Tuesday, and am still waiting to hear from UTA.

    I did the writing prompt tonight. Very broad topic that I had to ponder for awhile. I hope I did well as I only wrote 4 paragraphs. Still waiting to hear back from most other programs in Texas. 

  3. I am interviewing at Samford on February 29th so I'll let ya'll know how it goes! West Texas A&M said they will mail out notifications March 1st. I am interviewing at Our Lady of the Lake University (San Antonio) Friday March 4th. It's a group interview and they sent us a 12 page article to discuss. Anyone know anything about those kind of interviews??
