tvl got a reaction from WannabSLP124 in What is your Plan B?
I chose to become a SLPA after undergrad because I needed a mental break from all the studying and stress. I feel that was the best choice I made. Not only do you get a ton of hands-on experience to solidify if you truly want to be an SLP before spending thousands but I also got great LORs from SLPs and supervisors. I also did the waiver Twinguy7 referred to but that is only for 2 years and you no longer can apply for it unless you are enrolled into a grad program.I took a few pre-reqs I needed that weren't required for my CD program but other schools did to boost my GPA (I did it through Eastern New Mexico online-super affordable). I taught English in Costa Rica over the summer and worked in a special needs camp to add to my volunteer experience. You still have a few schools to hear from, don't lose hope! But if all else fails take this next year to improve your application and do further research into schools. Hope this helps!

tvl reacted to panda1991 in SLP MA Program that accepts Lower GPA?
Do you mean 3.4-3.5 in major GPA, past 60, or overall? There are many schools that look at the last 60 units, and are willing to overlook a lower overall if the major GPA is high.

tvl got a reaction from kayyyyy_ in SLP Physical Science Prereq
I am late on this BUT just wanted to share in case anyone is looking for a Chemistry class. Shasta College has an online Chem for NON-science majors that I took last year and it was breeze! The professor was amazing and I actually enjoyed the class. Never thought I would say that about Chem lol.
