    Hi all, 

    I am interested in applying for an online SLP program. I've been browsing this site and there is so much helpful info from other people who have posted and answered before. My specific situation is that I am 33, have 3 kids, and have a B.A. in psychology and Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. As I am pretty busy in my normal life, I'd ideally be able to do an online program that I can kind of work around my schedule. I have some questions: 

    1) I don't have any of the foundation courses required. Do you think the best thing to do would be go for a post bacc before applying for an SLP graduate program? If so, do you think it matters where I do the post bacc classes (i.e. is it ok to go for the least expensive or does name matter at all)? And finally, does anyone know of a good post-bacc program that requires minimum in person attendance? I was looking at the program at University of Colorado at Boulder. I could potentially do a program located in the Northeast if it was like one or two weekends. 

    2) Or is it better to just go right for the SLP grad program and do the foundational courses as part of the program? I do think that could add significant time on to it though. 

    2) Does anyone have experience applying to any of these programs after being out of school for a significant amount of time? I graduated from grad school in 2009 and haven't kept in touch with any professors; how do people handle letters of recommendation? Are letters from previous employers sufficient?

     

    Thank you so much!! 

    I would recommend if you’re doing post bacc to do it where you want to get your masters. I did mine a few years ago and have noticed mang grad programs choose from within their system. If you have other degrees you’re probably pretty competitive for 3 year programs. Getting in is the hardest prt, if you’re able you could apply to a 3 yr program and a post bacc and see which one works out! I graduated in 2010, I did post bacc classes (not where I wanted to go to grad school) and it was hard to find letters of Rec. most want 2 academic and 1 professional, but some will accept non academic if you can explain why. I think it was harder to get in since I didn’t apply where I got my post bac. But I ended up getting my SLPA license and worked for 2 year, I was just accepted to the school I went to for that. It’s a long and winding road, but once you’re in your golden. Best of luck!  

    How do you decide?

    Hey! So I had a friend in a similar situation this year. She got into SJSU and USC for OT grad school. She always wanted to go to USC but decided SJSU was more cost effective so chose that. The day before final decisions she decided she had worked her whole life for that USC diploma and decided it was worth it to her. Looking at CSUN online tuition Vs Emerson isn’t THAT different, especially if you’re getting scholarships, so if Emerson was your reach school and it means a lot to you, go for it! Congratulations!!!!!

    I received my waitlist email last thursday. Not sure about rejection tho.. Which program did you apply? 2 year or the extended master 3 year program? I bet they might have a different date to send out emails since I applied for the EM program.. Wish you luck! 

    congratulations! fingers crossed for yoU! I applied to the 2 year program, I haven't seen anyone post either way (rejection/waitlist) I received an e-mail about financial aide today but I don't think it means anything yet?
