  1. Hi there! First of all, I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I know it can be a difficult field to get in to because of how competitive it is. There are so many people entering with ridiculous GPA's that it really depends on who you are applying with and competing for a spot with. I too have been an SLPA for quite a few years now and although that will assist you once you are in grad school, getting there may be difficult unfortunately. I don't know if this is for all schools, but I do know that the majority do not take your post-bacc classes in to your GPA account UNLESS they are part of a degree program. My suggestion would be to try to get in to a second degree program. The University of South Florida has one online where you get a Bachelors of Science degree in CSD, and it is very good. Since you have taken some classes already, maybe they will transfer over? Florida International University does not look at GRE scores, but GPA may be difficult. If you are bilingual you have a better chance of getting accepted quite honestly since it is a bilingual program. Aside from that, it will be difficult to get an acceptance with a 2.86. I would seriously consider looking at a second degree. It is one thing they do not tell you with those bridge programs is that when applying for your masters in SLP, majority (if not all) do not consider that as a GPA. I know a lot of people that took classes to boost GPA, but because it was not a degree it did not matter in the long run. It is very unfortunate. My biggest advice to you is to pursue a second degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders (assuming your first degree is not in this!). It will take less time and be cheaper over all than just taking post-bacc courses. Good luck!

    FAU

    Hey guys!! I called FAU yesterday asking for an updated status on my application. Since I just moved due to getting married, some of my mail has gone missing. I was curious if they mailed anything and I missed it. Based on what they told me, some letters of acceptance have been sent out. The lady on the phone told me based on those replies they would send out more letters within 2 weeks. Has anyone received notice yet?? I got in to FIU's program but I think I'm leaning more towards FAU due to distance. If I get in anyways!
  3. I called them yesterday and they told me they had mailed out acceptance letters already and based on those replies would send out more. I guess that means I'm wait listed or rejected from that one!
  4. Hey! So I called FAU yesterday to see what the status is on my application and I was told the first wave of acceptances have been mailed out. She said I would hear their decision in 2 weeks once they heard back from those applicants. I was accepted in to FIU's program 2 days ago after an interview. Not sure they are still conducting interviews after this week though.
