I still haven't heard anything from them and my GoldLink still says forwarded to department so I guess that means waitlisted -
2018 Speech Pathology Graduate Applicants
mhilley1996 replied to ObsessLP's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Hello everyone! Hope you're all managing your stress well and good luck! Which programs are you applying to? The University of Montevallo (where I'll earn my B.S. in CSD), East Tennessee State University, Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee, University of West Georgia, University of Georgia. (6 schools total) Where are you from? Albertville, AL. I wanted to stay close enough to home for my Pawpaw, my biggest supporter, and most important person. So I was somewhat limited, unfortunately, but I'm happy with the schools I chose. What are your biggest concerns about applications? My scores are not *super* competitive, but I'm hoping that my undergraduate research, bomb rec letters, and well-written personal statements will make up for them. GPA: 3.6, GRE: 146 Q, 154 V. (300) AW: 4 (Any input from people with similar scores or experiences is appreciated!) -
That's very encouraging, thank you! I know some of the schools I am applying to say in their essay prompt to explain any unusual aspects of your academic history, but some do not. Is it still appropriate to mention my mediocre grades in essays that don't ask? Also, do they look at what classes those grades are in or does it matter to them?

Hello all! Here's the deal: I graduate from the University of Montevallo in May 2018. I'm the former secretary and current VP of NSSLHA. I've done qualitative research in the area of aphasia as primary investigator, and am positive I will be able to get above average recommendation letters from professors. BUT, my GPA is on the low end. I took dual enrollment classes in high school and ended up with several B's and a couple of C's. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life then, and of course had no idea how competitive SLP programs are. Assuming I get all A's this fall, my GPA will end up being a 3.56. My current GRE score is 294 and 3.5 writing. I'm retaking it in the beginning of November. I'm applying to severallllll schools in the southeast. My top choices are University of Tennessee, University of Memphis, East Tennessee State University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (long shot, I know, but many of their faculty have done research in aphasia and I thought I might have a chance considering my background.) What kind of chances do I have? Any advice as far as personal statements, recommendation letters, etc would be much appreciated!

I actually was mistaken and I made a 298, 144 quant and 154 verbal and my current GPA is 3.49. Thanks for the help!
