    They made me write an essay about why I wanted to do the scholarship program, and then I discussed that with them in person. They asked "what would you do if _____ (a specific situation that I could encounter as a SLP, but not a clinical situation) happened." Then they gave me more info about the scholarship program.

    I go to TC, what would you like to know? If you want to be a medical SLP I think both schools would be able to help you achieve that goal. TC students get 3 outside placements and I believe NYU students get 2, and both schools have similar placement opportunities.

    My understanding is that you can do your CFY in any state. But I heard it is troublesome to get the TSSLD license if your grad program is not in New York.

    Last year they emailed me IN MAY that I was waitlisted, so if you have another choice just forget about Touro for now.

    Harlem is probably your best bet, but it is getting more expensive too nowadays ?

    The bilingual program at TC can apply to any language! I don't know how confident you feel about conducting therapy in German, but not everyone in our cohort are native speakers of the language they are pursuing. In terms of the program, if the placement coordinator cannot find a placement for you in German, then she would place you to work with other bilingual clients and you can just treat them in English. You could always change your degree to the dual certification program once you get here if you decide to pursue it. In terms of certification, the required test for NYS is not very hard if you are proficient in the language.

    1. We are very strong in terms of research! In a lot of classes we get exposed to the latest research in the field, some of which are conducted by our own professors. Not everyone participates in research but everyone who wanted a research position in a lab got one as far as I know. We do have paid research positions! Obviously it is a little bit harder to get depending on the professor's funding but it is possible. 2. Most people live in the dorms, some live off campus around the area, and a small number try to save money by commuting from home. Most people babysit, some do work study in the school or retail. It is definitely possible to be working part time for 10-20 hours (at least in the first year) as long as you manage your time. 3. A few people get in every year. It is really competitive though and everyone in our year who had gotten it are bilingual. 4. The fact that multicultural focus is infused throughout the program! Also, only one extra class was necessary to get the bilingual extension so it will save time and money.

    I am a first-year student at TC and would be happy to answer specific questions that any of you may have!

    USU offers it online!

    When I had to do it, it seemed like they looked through everything but were only really concerned about criminal records. I wouldn't be too worried!

    You don't need to have all of them completed in order for these schools to accept you because they're not listed as pre-reqs (unlike Hunter). But it's recommended that you complete them before starting grad school because you'll be so busy during grad school talking additional courses would be a struggle. It has to be pure math (algebra, calculus, etc.). If you don't want to take a class you can take the CLEP exam to fulfill these requirements.

    Your math score is not excellent but I think it's a reasonable score (especially for Speech), and the other two are great so I wouldn't go through the trouble of retaking. And yes I think you would be a great candidate for these schools, just make sure your essay is also good!

    It's such a small decimal place that I don't think it will be an issue!

    Me and some girls in our program commute 1+ hr, and it can suck because we have to get up 2 hours earlier than everyone else and can't go to every activity (study session or hanging out). But it will be worth it in the end because we save so much money by living at home! I spend my time on the train reading for school or studying so at least I'm being productive. And we stick around on campus to do work if we are already there.

    Psychobiology is listed under behavioral sciences not biological sciences on ASHA's website so human genetics is probably a better bet. http://www.asha.org/Certification/Course-Content-Areas-for-SLP-Standards/ But ultimately it's up to your grad program to decide what counts and what doesn't. If there is a lab components it might be easier to argue that it's a bio course.

    You can watch the lectures whenever you want for USU. For most classes, you just have to submit the assignments by a certain date, and the exams are typically open for 4-7 days so it's very suitable for people who work!
  17. zurako
    In general, yes. Some schools may require that you finish the majority of the prereqs at the time of applying, so make sure to check out the specific requirements of your target schools.

    I had 2 speech professors that I barely talked to in my online classes wrote my recommendation, because most schools I applied to wanted recommendations from professors in the discipline. Sent them information about myself and snippets of my personal statement so they could personalize my recommendation. I got into most of the schools so you'll be fine. If you're worried they won't be personal enough, you can always send a third recommendation from someone who will write a stellar recommendation. I had my supervisor write me one and sent it to the schools anyways.

    I highly highly highly recommend these resources: All the official GRE books, powerprep by ETS and Magoosh. My goal was 330+ so I only did questions that were very similar to the real exam, to get me to understand how ETS thinks. I've done all the material by ETS multiple times and analyzed why the right answer was right. Magoosh's math and sentence completion questions were also very similar in style as the official questions, reading comprehension not so much. I heard Manhattan is good too but I have never done it personally so can't comment on it. I also memorized all the words from the Magoosh vocabulary app and wrote very basic outlines for 50+ essay questions.

    I found out about the field early in my senior year and didn't feel prepared to apply to the 3 year programs directly, so I took a gap year to do pre-reqs. Ended up with plenty of acceptances so it is definitely doable! The above poster already offered really good advice, and I just want to emphasize that whatever you do in your gap year should add value to you as an applicant. So you could do something related to speech that you can talk about in your SOP.

    Maybe you could try to retake some classes at post-bacc programs as a non-degree student. Your GRE is good but if you could get it above 160 for both that would really offset your GPA!

    I know Lehman College offers spring admission but I have no experience. Edfind is not terribly accurate so I would go with whatever the university is telling you!

    I took classes at USU and it's great! Specifically, audiology was one of the easiest classes to get an A in and that class is completely self-paced so you can even finish early if you work hard! You only have four exams and some quizzes so it's really manageable. Classes cost around 335 per credit and they're usually 3 credits. There is also a Facebook group and everyone is incredibly helpful.
  24. zurako
    I don't remember the exact number but it's around 350 per credit with the fees. Most classes are 3 credits.
