Im going to make a hampton groupme, do yall want to be part of it? i think it would be a good way to talk to about things regarding school.

Please go w/ the cheaper option

I majored in the same thing-Teacher Assistant, Sub Teacher, Nanny, Child Care Worker-anything centered around children really. Im currently a sub and I think this job is especially good since you can work with different age groups and different developmental levels while seeing how things are done in a classroom setting. Good luck to you.
-
congrats! you have to do whats best for you. would you have been going out of state? that is very expensive. either way good luck to you and next year youll be in a program.

Have you checked ASHA? Look at the acceptance rates, narrow them down and then talk to the directors of the programs to se if you have a chance. Honestly with your stats, you cant be too picky-you may have to apply out of state. Hampton University just accepted me, and I had similar stats. Make sure to get good LOR's, highlight relevant experience and write a bomb ass statement

Got accepted! Will u be attending?
-
I just got accepted to Hampton University, and my gpa was lower than yours. I am sure you'll get in. These days, being billingual and able to work well with others of different cultures well is an advantage( youll be surprised so many people are horrible at this) . So def play that up ( your Spanish)- thats really important for billingual families, as well as the fact that you are going abroad. Def use those 2 to your advantage. I made sure to highlight I was a beginner in Arabic and studied in Turkey. So if I can do it why cant you? Make sure you get some great references too.
-
Get a job in the field too. Sub teaching/TA/ childcare center. Experience is a good place to start and play up your Spanish speaking skills.
-
I've officially been accepted to this school! But before accepting I want to know how this school is from students who actually attend? The clinical oppurtunities, the cost, housing-all of those factors I need to know about.

Just wanted to let all of u know. My son who had a low gpa barely 3.0 last sixty
he scored 148 149 and 4 writing on gre got into grad school a couple of days ago. We believe he got in due to the fact he visited the campus and spoke with the department head before he applied. He also gave them a resume. He was denied at first and then a couple of days ago they accepted him. The depart head said she was pulling for him.
It it is possible don’t give up.
please do tell what schools these were! my stats are similar as well.

Im still waiting on Hampton University. I applied like April 3rd. This is taking forever. I am going to go ahead and start applying to other programs for next year since this is my last chance.

I agree with Felice. I have pretty similar stats to you. Cumulative GPA of 3.1 and my last 60 credit GPA was 3.7. I knew my GPA was pretty bad so I didn't even bother applying my senior year and gained experience as an SLPA and worked at ASD summer camps. I researched heavily which schools looked at the last 60 credits and applied to schools that catered to my bilingual/ASD background. I applied for the first time this year to 8 schools and got 4 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Don't give up hope!
where did you get accepted to?
-
Anybody go to Hampton? I want to apply there, but I am starting to second guess myself. First of all my gpa sucks, and my GRE isnt great either ( with the exception of my AW score). I am praying I can get in. I am pretty much done with the process, but wanted to know other stats who currently go there just to have a vision of my chance of getting in. And Ive already researched their usual stats, but it would be nice to see if anyone here has some similar stats to mine.

Welp heard back from Radford and was rejected ( was expecting that). I am now waiting on Hampton. Anybody else get accepted to Hampton now or recently, if so what were your stats. This is really the school id like to go to

Hi there! Another average student here. I decided to apply this year just so that I wouldn’t regret not trying (I graduate in May) and I actually got into a program!! I still can’t believe it and don’t even believe I deserve it. But anyways, my overall GPA is a 3.56 and my CSD GPA is only a 3.3. My GRE scores were also not super impressive (145V 151Q and 4.0W).
I was accepted to Pacific University in Oregon because of my interview. They believe that your numbers don’t say anything about your potential for being an SLP or about you as a person.
My experience isn’t super crazy either. I have volunteer experience in a rehab facility for a summer (5 years ago) where I translated for the SLPs because they did not speak Spanish, I spent a lot of time involved in the deaf community and pretty fluent in ASL, and I now currently work as a Respite Worker with children with developmental disabilities, mostly autism and Down syndrome and through my job I get to observe their therapies and implement the strategies during play.
HOWEVER, what Pacific also saw in me was that I come from low income communities, first to go to college, and from a single parent household where I am the oldest and have had to carry that extra load of responsibilities from a very young age and that it has also been a challenge to my studies.
Most schools will not see all of that, they will see my numbers and 300words about why they should pick me. Idk what your story is, but if apply strategically you will find those schools that look at you, your experience, and your passion, you will just have to be willing to pay a little more or live very far lol. But you can do it!! If I did it you can too ?
PS: I used a book called “Graduate Admissions Essays” to help me write my personal statement, I recommend ✔️✔️
congrats on being accepted! i love to hear stories such as this!
