Which programs are you applying to?: University of Georgia, Western Michigan University, Hofstra, Mercy College, Molloy, Touro College, Nazareth College, St. John's University, CUNY Queens, Kean University, and Clarion University.
Where are you from?: Long Island, NY
What are your biggest concerns about applications?: My biggest concerns about applications fall into the CSDCAS realm. Working with CSDCAS to apply was a struggle because their site was confusing for me and they left out a lot of details when I called asking specific questions and now I fear that it is shown in my application. I'm really concerned with my GPA because I got two C+'s during my undergraduate career in non speech major courses such as math and science. Like I'm sure others feel, I am concerned with how I look "on paper" as opposed to how they would view me if someone form the department sat down and met with me.
My GRE scores are not competitive unfortunately (I'm a very bad test taker thanks to nerves): V 142 Q 140 writing 3.5
My GPA seems average (compared to peers in my current undergraduate program) but maybe a little low for the competitive major? GPA: 3.252 Major GPA:3.422
I currently have applied to 10/11 schools I listed above and have received an interview with Mercy College mid/late February.
