  1. I recorded lectures on my mac and didn't ask for permission. I also didn't share them with anyone
  2. I bought a new lap top just because mine was older and running slower, but you really dont need to invest your money on a computer, there are probably other things you'll want to spend money on.
  3. I took it online! I didn't want to take it during my graduate school year, you have so much else to worry about! I can't imagine taking another class. I took it at USU and I really enjoyed it.
  4. Buying a house and student debt! How does that work, especially with CFY year being at a lower salary then when you get an actual job.
  5. I agree with everyone, try finding some sort of funding and really work on that. I think you miss all the shots you don't take right, but at the end of the day making a pro and con list and talking to people who know you might help clear up the decision. I love what I do, I came from a complete different background so I understand. its scary moving on when you know you don't want to do something, I am an older student now and I don't regret leaving behind my other career. Sleep on it and make a pro and con list. Also talk to someone, maybe an advisor etc. Also don't be swayed by online presence, there are a lot of misers that get burned out or went into it with the wrong expectations and reasons, there will always be that!
  6. I went to UMD and my whole class has some sort of funding. Its been very affordable, and if you get funding you get in state tuition.
  7. Personally I didn't, I think there are a lot of people that are willing to read your application, including professors etc that can give you very good feedback.
  8. I live in the Chevy Chase area which is close by, I attend UMD but if you want some tips on anything around the area let me know!
  9. I would try to submit them! Especially if they are in categories that you could not get in grad school, e.g. Modalities!
  10. I did some research there, Dr. Stillman is so nice. I think just getting involved with their faculty there can put you in a better position. You miss all the shots you don't take, rejection sucks, but it makes you better because you can get some feedback on what youre missing and retry. Its scary but you can do it!
  11. It depends for me, I like having my computer because its faster, but I turn off the internet because that can be distracting.I also like taking notes on paper when I am super distracted. Most of my class uses their computers.
  12. I think building relationships with the schools you are most interested in, maybe volunteer in a lab. There are always ways, if you want it you can do it!
  13. I agree with all of these. You need a pair of good dress pants, some flats and just regular clothes. You just need to look nice for clinic but you dont need to break the bank, marshalls, TJ maxx are great places to shop!
  14. I just posted a blog on ten things you need for graduate school. Things I wish I knew, You'll probably cry and its fine, its nothing to be ashamed of, you need to find at least one good friend, and when I mean good friend, like someone you can trust. It will make the difference, that you should put some efforts into building relationships with both your classmates and your supervisors. I wish I knew that, it was going to feel bad to not know anything but that feeling of being uncomfortable was just temporary. I wish that I followed my gut more, and wasn't so worried about what I was doing wrong or right and really just tried to connect with my clients that first semester. I wish I knew that there are SO MANY resources online. I underutilized my resources. I wish I had started working out my first semester and not just completely abandon my life! Also, that making lists and using priority lists for that matter was going to save me, you can't get everything done, its almost impossible.
  15. I am doing a 20 hour assistantship, which covers almost all of my tuition and gives me a stipend of 24k a year. It also allotted me in state tuition for Maryland.
  16. You might want to edit it and not include any redundant information, e.g. they know you have your bachelors in linguistics because they are reviewing your entire file maybe just getting to the meat of things. I would also suggest that you personalize the letter for each school or mention someone or some faculty work that youre interested in, especially since you mentioned that youre interested in doing research. Sounds great otherwise, good luck!
  17. YES, but at the same time I am trying to just take it all in and relax
  18. Look for ways to volunteer at any school you're interested in. Getting to know the faculty is essential and also raising your scores. Also have an advisor or someone look over your application or contact schools for feedback.
  19. I read look me in the eye which was so fascinating to me about someone who had Asperger just FYI, really good read. MASTER clinician is the bomb.
  20. This was my second time applying and I got in, I had a horrible undergrad GPA. I did a post bacc and got good scores on my GRE, the most important thing I did was research within the department for a year. You have to get to know people and have them write you letters. I felt like that is what would set you apart. My letters and your personal statement, also attending open houses and getting involved if you have the time. Good luck
  21. MY husband is a neurology resident and he works crazy hours. Sometimes he comes home and eats and passes out, but we try to do date night at least once a week and sometimes its ends up being every other week. But we text and communicate and laugh and sometimes I just read beside him while he's asleep. I think if you both talk and outline your goals and have realistic expectations of each other then it will work out and you'll appreciate the little time you do have together. You also have to be willing to put in the work-getting up early to see them before work even though your exhausted, or going out after working a long shift just because you haven't seen each other all week. Sounds like you're already willing to do the work by coming on here and asking for advice, best of luck to you both.
  22. I would say that after applying twice, the mistake I made on the first one was not listing my professional goals enough and what I Had to offer the schools. It was more of a fluff story, which is great but I think it needed to be more professional. That was my downfall. Speech Student300 had a great response and outline you could follow.
  23. Thanks, I ended up doing both Neuro and clinical Methods at Longwood and am paying 1800 for both They are going great so far
  24. wow so much good advice thanks everyone, Ive been reading mostly just for enjoyment and finding a different perspective, which it has given me. Just something to calm the nerves.
  25. i am having to do a prereq before staring grad school this fall, clinical methods, did anyone happen to find this class online? I am working three jobs this summer to save money and its more convenient for me to take online courses. Thank you anyone for your help.
