SLP advising

hi-- sadly, there isnt any magical formula on where to apply to. best bet is to go through ASHAedfind and look at LOTS of schools and find those with stats that are comparable to yours (if not lower).  also- there arent even any 'safety' schools anymore- its just way too competitive.  The GPA is a bit of an issue too- congrats though as most college students would LOVE to have that high of a GPA, just in our field, its right on the edge of first-admit and wait list for most schools. Great job on the GRE too.  you can find more advice and tips on a competitive application on my website-- www.slpgradschool.com
take care-p

wow- reading through this thread (and hearing the same questions from my own students) really makes me feel for all- the whole process induces too much anxiety as there are few answers out there and min guidance.  to help all those people out there and shed some light on the grad admission process, i started a website which offers guidance and advice on how to navigate the process. i've been on two different admissions committees so have a pretty good sense of whats out there-- check it out-- www.slpgradschool.com
good luck and be sure to take some time for yourselves-- its a huge thing but try not to let it overwhelm you.

Hi all- just wanted to share a new website I started- http://slpgradschool.com/ (or just enter slpgradschool.com) to help undergraduate speech pathology and audiology students improve their chances of getting into graduate school.  The site has tutorials- videos too- on all aspects of getting into grad school.  I've been in the field for 12 years and have served on two different university admission committees so have a pretty good sense of what schools are looking for.  On the site, I give you lots of strategic ways to improve your chances of getting in and even explain the parts of the process. For example, its the start of the fall semester-- if you are a senior, you should have asked the 3 or 4 people you've identified to write your letters of rec already. Check it out!
