I think you have a great chance! If you really want it, go for it! I agree with snoves, apply to schools that look at applicants holistically. Continue volunteering and shadowing, try getting a part time job like an ABA therapist or instructional aide. Start working on your SOP early, get letters of rec from professors/supervisors who know you well, and study hard for the GRE!! I have a really low overall GPA (under 3.0) and an OK last 60 units (3.5). I took the GRE twice, both scores were barely average. However, I have unique volunteer experiences and worked as an ABA therapist for over a year. I was confident that the people writing my letters of recommendation wrote me amazing letters because of the relationships I created with them. I applied to 10 schools and so far interviewed for 3! I know they’re no acceptances, but the fact that they are considering me is a huge accomplishment for me! I was very close to not applying this cycle because I was so discouraged by my stats, but it is my dream to be a SLP so I decided to go for it. If this is what you want then work hard on your applications and show schools your passion!

Thank you!! How many applicants were there?

How are you all dressing for the interview? I’m from SoCal so I know I will be freezing, but how do you stay warm while looking professional? Haha

I believe some schools send emails/calls for interviews in waves. One school I applied for had an early application period, unfortunately I wasn’t able to submit mine then because I couldn’t get my letters of rec in time. I heard some people getting interviews early January and was getting worried. However they contacted me weeks later for an interview and during the interview they told me that they contacted people who submitted in the early application period first. I don’t know if that it the same for your schools, I would say the best way to find out is to ask the school itself

Congrats everyone! I'll be there for the Feb 24th interview!!

Hello everyone! Has anyone here been invited for Pacific University's upcoming interview? Or has anyone been to one of their interviews in the past?
