How I got into Grad School (low GPA and GRE)
katherinexo replied to Kslptobe's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
I graduated in 2016 and thought becoming a behavior therapist would look good on my resume and application. Plus the experience working with children has taught me alot that I can utilize in the future when I work. For me, there weren't any special qualifications needed to become a behavior therapist. I had experience working with children with special needs. You do need some credits in child development, but your degree should cover it! -

Distance learning computer
katherinexo replied to JennWilhelm's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
I use a Macbook Pro from 2012, and it still works great! I think the most important thing for distance learning is reliable Wifi ? -

ONLINE SLP GRAD SCHOOL
katherinexo replied to Goodstories1023's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Yes, grad school is a lot more challenging than undergrad! For me, I only work part time as a behavior therapist on Monday/Wednesday. Then dedicate school work on Tues/Thurs and Fri (if needed). I like my online program because I can control the schedule. Most of my classes revolve around watching lecture videos that are pre-recorded and having a midterm and final (sometimes we'll have a third exam but it depends on the professor). The courseload still feels like a full time program because I have to study daily! But I think compared to a traditional program its not as rigorous .- 1 reply

I called up every clinic and school SLP if I could volunteer or observe them. You'll def receive a lot of no's, but out of that there'll be someone who'll say yes to you

How much does it cost to apply to a school?
katherinexo replied to A-1's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
I think I spent around $900 (more or less) to apply to 5 schools. That includes the fees from CSDCAS, transcripts, other supplemental fees from the school itself, and the GRE. -
Should I buy or rent my textbooks?
katherinexo replied to Jordyn_M463's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
I just started my program this summer, and I've been renting since it's almost 50% off compared to buying the actual textbook. But this upcoming fall semester, I purchased a book since it's cheaper than renting. Trying really hard to save as much money as I can! The books I see that are worth buying are probably the anatomy/physiology books. -
Tote bag for grad school
katherinexo replied to slp2be2018's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
There's a brand called Dagne Dover that make great coated canvas and leather totes. I love their backpack which is made of scuba material (idk what it's called lol). It's pretty expensive but I think it's worth the price Better than purchasing $30 bags that fall apart within weeks/months! -
Graduate programs in Speech Pathology (California)
katherinexo replied to Brennn's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
I got my bachelor's in Kinesiology, and did an online post bacc program for a year! I wanted to stay in CA but it was so competitive that I only got accepted into an online out of state program. But I'm happy with where I'm at. My advice would probably do the post bacc, it's a lot cheaper than doing the additional classes needed when you're in a grad program. Also it's a great chance to show that you are serious about the field and aim for the best grades possible.- 13 replies

Like what @zamz had stated it was very easy to apply for. When I saw the application opened, I applied immediately in case it was a first come first serve basis. I was in the cohort base since I had no classes related to speech language pathology besides a stats class and child development/psychology. You don't need any experience, the first class in our semester required us to do observation hours with an SLP for an assignment. Very glad we had to do this because some schools require observation hours. Good luck

Paying for a consultant / coach?
katherinexo replied to SLPtobe22's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Personally, I didn't. I did have a few friends who paid people to read their personal statement, which I think is worth spending your money in. And investing in some GRE classes like Magoosh or Kaplan. Other than that, I wouldn't hire a consultant. Try asking around for free advice about interviews -

Applying for Masters, Fall '19.. low GPA :(
katherinexo replied to k_shin's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Aw some of my speechie friends were afraid of applying to SDSU's master's program since their requirements are so high! So I understand where you're coming from. I applied to CA schools all over but ultimately got rejected, the one school that accepted me was out of state and an online program. I have pretty average stats, but you can totally get in if you have a lot of experience to balance out your stats!- 9 replies
