  1. It is hard to answer "will i get into grad school" because each application is different. One person may have a high GPA and very little experience in the field and another may have a low GPA and a ton of experiences in the field. This question very much depends on what schools you are applying to, and what the focus of those schools are. For example, if the focus of a school is being billingual, and you don't have billingual experience you may not be as competitive. But if the focus is on working with children, and you have alot of experience working with children, then you could be a definite yes for that school. It all depends on the context. Generally speaking, I would say that you have met the expectations for most grad schools and that you are a strong applicant. Best of luck to you!
  2. So it seems that there are two pathways from reading about your stats: the first, is to take some post-baccalaureate courses and retake your GRE(as you said), to vie for some more competitive schools. The second, is to work on your experience and qualifications for the field. This could take the form of working with children, internships, volunteering etc: if you gain enough experience, this can offset your GPA and put you in a more competitive position. Being an SLP-A is great, but I would shoot for some other experiences as well. If you have a broad range of skill sets(such as taking ASL classes, or gaining some other certifications), this would only serve to help you in the professional field. Best of luck to you!
  3. Hi folks, So I just transferred into a CommDis program, and I am receiving good marks: but I am wondering about certain facets of the grad school application. For example, student research at my school is incredibly hard to come by: this is because there is a large number of CommDis majors at my school with frankly, all of the same qualifications, so the chances of any student(even with good grades) being accepted into one of these positions is few and far between. Is there a way to offset this in my application, or any organizations that allow students to participate in research? Additionally, I am wondering about what is considered an "average" resume for grad school, and also what is the top standard. I have had some experience working with children, and I am doing a ten week internship with an autism program next year. I plan on doing tutoring, as well as doing a weekly program as a teaching assistant with The Literacy Project(A program which helps both highschoolers and adults graduate with a high school diploma). I am also a member of the NSSLHA chapter at my school. However, I feel that these things seem sub-par at best on my application. I am attempting to get a job working as a PCA one-on-one, but those jobs are also hard to come by in my area. Any advice or ideas? Thank you for your time!
  4. Hi, I recently finished my associates degree and I am transferring to complete my undergraduate in CSD. I received a 3.4 cumulative GPA for my associates, and even though I can raise my GPA for my bachelors, I am concerned because I know that graduate schools look at the last 60 credits, and therefore some of my community college grades will be looked at. I received two A's and two C+ my last semester of community college. Should I try to retake the two classes I received lower grades in at the institution I am transferring to? I want my graduate application to be as competitive as possible.
