  1. @Blue J Thank you! I appreciate your honesty and your recommendations. I'm definitely going to look into Magoosh to help me improve on my GRE scores. I guess I'll wait this application cycle and try to bring up my scores and get some awesome LOR as well. I was starting to feel discouraged because every application cycle when I come onto this thread I see people with such high scores and it makes me wonder if I can do it. However, I will continue to try and strive for the best that I can do! Thank you so much
  2. Hello everyone, I am currently trying to take some CSD courses in order to meet the prereqs to get into graduate school. I'd like to get some of you guys' opinion, should I retake my GRE? I've taken it twice now and it seems not make much of a difference. I'm not great at test taking especially when it is timed. My GRE scores are a few points shy from 150 and for the writing score it is a 2.5. I know this is significantly lower than many of the scores I have seen on other threads. What do you all suggest? I would like to avoid taking it again just because it's so expensive and I don't have the money for that and paying for applications too. I am currently trying to find more volunteer opportunities in order to build my resume. I am trying to volunteer for students with special needs for the next semester. I volunteer at adult service sometimes and I also volunteer at churches. I'm contemplating on whether or not if I should try and apply this application cycle for the third time or focus on my courses and building experience before applying again. I appreciate you all's opinion and suggestions! Good luck on applications this term!
  3. Hello everyone, I'm attempting to apply to graduate school again....:( I would like some feed backs so I know how to prepare. Has anyone applied to a school that does not require prerequisites or if they require them, it's not necessary to have a lot completed. I really want to apply for Fall of 2018 but it's so disheartening when I read that you need prerequisites to get in. I've already earned my first BA and I am going to school right now trying to fulfill the prerequisites. I'm willing to move out of state if need be. I'm just super ready to get into graduate school so I can hurry up with starting the career I want to do. Anyone has any wise recommendations? Thank you <3
  4. You guys.....I guess we're going to have to keep waiting...
  5. @plume OMG! Me too! Thanks for letting me know!
  6. @speechpath17 @AlwaysaFalcon Did you guys get another email? I'm so anxious!!
  7. @kayyyyy_ Aww thank you!! :') I hope you hear good news too!!!! If you have already, congrats!
  8. @SpeechLaedy :'( Your story makes me want to cry tears of joy! I'm so happy for you! I'm currently on that boat. I've only been getting rejections and...I have about 3 more schools to hear from. Two of them is grad schools while the other one is SLPA. Either way, I just want to hear good news. I really want to get into grad school though. I'm praying. I hear from one of the three this Wed. I was on the wait list and then they said there's 4 spots left (eeekk!). Hope! I have hope! Regardless what it is, I believe God has a plan for me! Congrats to you! You've worked hard!!!!!
  9. @AlwaysaFalcon did you?!!! OMGIES!!! I'm hoping it's a good sign! Good luck to you! If you and I get in, hopefully we get to meet and know each other ^_^. Wed. is D day! ahahaha
  10. @pbandj It's for the students that are on the wait list (I believe) because I didn't email them. Thank you I was just hoping someone can confirm something for me but it was wishful thinking (because I was hoping for good news). xD Oh and congrats on your acceptance!
  11. Hello friends so I received this from one of the school I applied to...do you guys think it's a good sign?
  12. Hello, Is anyone having trouble trying to type your enrollment objective portion of the application? How did you guys do it? I don't really want to write it out if I don't need to. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know someone who got into SC Uni? I just want to know what are the chances of getting in. I'm really hoping I get into SC Uni. Thank you! <3
  13. Hello All, I hope everyone has been getting the results they want in regards to getting accepted into the school they desire. As for me, I'm still hoping. I'm on the waiting list (Western Carolina) and then I need to submit my application for South Carolina State Uni. I'm looking for other options in case I don't get into grad school...for the 2nd time. I wanted to get ya'lls opinion on something. I want to include in my personal essay the reason why I am pursuing this career is because I know how it feels to be insecure about not speaking correctly or not being able to get one's thoughts out. It's frustrating and I'm in that shoes. I'd like to help those who are going through that. However, I haven't been to a Speech Therapist and been diagnosed, I just know it because I'm going through it. How can I relay that in my paper. I know I had someone tell me they don't recommend putting something like that in a paper if it's not diagnosed professionally. What's all of your recommendations? Thank you in advance,
  14. @nnwhickerI can totally relate to you! I'm actually on the wait list for Western Carolina and I'm so nervous. I don't like playing the wait game, it's too hard. I asked for my ranking on the wait list and they won't disclose that because they don't know either... this stinks though, I just really want to get in and get on the track to start my career.
  15. @Sam______ You already did you interview? That's awesome! I haven't even got that portion yet. I'm really hoping to hear back from someone. Did you receive a confirmation regarding an interview via email or letter in the mail? Are you living on campus?
  16. I've been rejected from: Radford, Dusqusne, Appalachian, Long Island Uni Post. I'm still currently waiting for NYM and Western (on the waiting list). I'm in the process of finishing up my application to South Carolina State University. You guys, I'm feeling so nervous and anxious. ?
  17. @ElKel87 I'd love to get into NYMC, that was actually my first option. I'd love to get into it. If not, then Western Carolina or South Carolina State University. ahaha, well I really do hope that you get the results you want then! That's funny, I've never heard of wanting to get rejected ahaha.
  18. @Brandon Causey Oh! Ok, thank you! that's helpful!! I appreciate your reply because that really helps me. I wrote my essay and it's a little over 300. xD I can't help it that I want to tell them so many reasons why I want to be a SLP. I hope you get accepted! Let me know when you hear back from them, I'd like to celebrate and congratulate you! All the best for you as well. Did you apply anywhere else?
  19. @mɪs_spitʃ_pæθ Got'cha, so out state is ruled out. It'd be challenging; however, HAVE HOPE! I wish the best for the both of us! You know, if we both come out of the waiting list, that'd be AWESOME! I'm still anxiously waiting and April 16th seems like it's FOREVER away. If you don't mind me asking, what's your plan B? (which I hope you don't have to resort to but it's good to have a back-up plan in case). I'm thinking about applying for their undergrad program or taking online courses. If not, take courses at a community college and that's if their SLPA program isn't filled up yet.
  20. Hi, I saw that you're an ABA. If I got my BA in Japanese Communication and Studies, do you think they'll still hire me?

  21. @katelynmarie I'll definitely check that out then! Thanks for being so encouraging! I hope that I can get out of that wait list from Western Carolina too. All the best to you! I hope you get into your desired program!
  22. @ElKel87 That's awesome! Congratulations on getting accepted! Have you made up your mind on who you want to go with? I've heard back from about 5 schools and so far I'm just on the waiting list for Western Carolina. Thank you so much for being supportive. I hope that they do look beyond my test scores and see that from my recommendation letters and personal statement how badly I want to get into this program. All the best for you!
  23. @katelynmarie I forgot to mention, for App state, they normally send out a letter saying that in the portal should be your decision letter. I was too impatient so I checked everyday last week and then saw the sad news...x(
  24. @katelynmarie Thanks for being so encouraging! :'( It makes me want to cry because you all are so supportive. This may be a silly question and it may show that I don't know much but, can you tell me what an ABA is? I'm trying to find child care job opportunity that would allow me to work there with a BA in Japanese, no teaching certificate etc. Do you know how I can go about that? I definitely want this and I believe it when you said, "...if you want to be an SLP, you will be!...."
