  1. Thanks for the insight, NorcalSLP! I am actually going to visit and meet with the department at UVA in the next week or so, so I will definitely be asking them directly. I currently work at a pediatric speech therapy practice and I also am doing work with the Chicago Aphasia Network so I'm getting a variety of experiences, doing everything that I can in that aspect. I've been told to re-take courses but I know CSDCAS takes ALL of your grades into consideration, so even doing so wouldn't really help me in anyway, especially after factoring in classes that I have previously/already retaken while in school. Who knows! But this was helpful! It has been discouraging to hear back from some schools telling me to just go for Psychology or something different, so thank you I won't lose hope just yet!
  2. Congrats to everyone! Although I'm a bit out of place here, seeing as I am actually applying for this coming Fall of 2017, I am getting ready to venture out to Charlottesville, VA in a couple weeks and would love any sort of advice you may have! I am going to meet with the department, learn more about the program, all that good stuff! Also, I have a lower-than-average GPA. I went to 3 different schools throughout my undergraduate career due to family medical issues, so between all the transfer and lost credits, I graduated from KU with a 2.8 cumulative. It's a very sensitive subject, but I'm not going to get discouraged and give up on my dream that easily! Anyway, if anyone would care to share their story or any tips for people like myself I would greatly appreciate it!
  3. Well, can't say I'm surprised that I got denied into grad schools this time around. It seemed almost impossible to try and compile an outstanding CDCAS application when I already had so much going on with my schoolwork in undergrad. Anyways, for all the people like myself who are feeling down, just wanted to put it out there that Karen George at Chicago Speech Therapy is hiring for people like us! I just interviewed and was BLOWN AWAY. I honestly would've never expected this opportunity to exist, especially because on their posting on indeed it was for an SLPA and I thought for sure I didn't have a chance without licensure. They do pediatric in-home therapy, but have three 'day' programs where kids come in and do language enrichment stuff. Super cool opportunity! Just thought I would share because it gave me hope and could really improve my odds for acceptance next year!
