Hi! I have retaken 2 CSD courses (scored a B-, B originally and got A's in both for the retakes) in them and my GPA is a 3.74 in CSD currently with the two retakes. My other CSD grades are very good! I have two transcripts - from community college, a 3.0 (which was my first two years out of highschool) and currently, at university, a 3.72 which is a huge improvement (and I think I can speak of this on my personal statement, and my grades really prove I've worked my butt off). I worked at a developmental center for 2 years, I just finished a job as an instructor for kids in a low SES demographic where I created lesson plans, and also have subsitute teaching experience. I currently volunteer in the CSD department at a hospital for 8 months now and have racked up around 60 volunteer hours (and have been given an opportunity by the SLP's to actually practice therapy on clients). I'm going to have really great LOR's, one from my prof who's on the admissions team, and one from a SLP who is a supervisor at my undergrad university / works at the hospital the admissions head worked at / knows all of my profs who are on the admissions team. The CSD department at my university knows me very well. I am bilingual, I have been an active member in my student org for almost 2 years now and am taking on a chair position this semester. My GRE scores the first time around weren't stellar - 144 Q, 153 V and 4.5 AW but I plan to retake them this semester before apps are due! SO, with all this information, I ask of you - what are my chances of getting in, given all my academic patches?! *ALSO: I am from the midwest.* Thank you!
