@rebeccank17 I would say go for it, if you have the money to do so. I had a GPA just slightly above yours, average GRE scores, and 4 years of relevant work experience. I retook two courses that I got C's in the first time. I retook them at ENMU online and got A's. I don't know if that is specifically what got me into 4 of the schools I applied to, but every bit helps!
I agree with @HooHooHooHoosiers When I graduated undergrad, my GPA was a 3.1 with slightly above average GRE scores. I retook every class I got a C or worse in and made sure I got an A the second time around. I took a couple graduate courses and worked as an SLPA for 2 years, too. I got into 6 out of the 8 schools I applied to this year.

@hellooo I am required to take four classes online this summer, from your experience would you say that this would be manageable through ENMU's program?
I assume you're taking 2 8-week courses in the Summer 1 session and another 2 8-week courses in the Summer 2 session? I think it's possible if you are extremely motivated, organized, and have the expectation that you will not have much free time during the summer. I had an exam/paper/major assignment due every week.

Hi,
What is ASD? Sorry if that's a silly question. I'm planning on taking it the class. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
Autism Spectrum Disorders. Good luck!

I took the graduate level ASD course at ENMU last summer. It wasn't a CDIS course, but I thought it was very helpful and extremely relevant to the field. It is pretty intense because you have an assignment due every week, but since you're not working, I think it is definitely manageable. I was working at an ASD camp 40 hours a week and managed to still get an A.

Hi!
I don't know the total tuition, but it is a little more than $8k a semester for in-state students (for fall/spring semester). I believe there is a summer session as well if I remember correctly? When I looked into the program, it was around $30-40k in total. Hope this helps!

I'm turning down UMass Amherst, FAU, and NMSU today. Good luck everyone!!

Hey @hellooo where did you apply? If you don't mind me asking!
I applied to: U of AZ, UMass Amherst, U of the Pacific, FL Atlantic U, San Diego State, NM State, U of Houston, and U of Redlands. I got into the first 4 schools, waitlisted from SDSU and NM State, and rejected from UH and U of Redlands. I considered LIU Post, Adelphi, and U of IL Urbana due to high acceptance rates but ran out of energy/money haha

I agree with Felice. I have pretty similar stats to you. Cumulative GPA of 3.1 and my last 60 credit GPA was 3.7. I knew my GPA was pretty bad so I didn't even bother applying my senior year and gained experience as an SLPA and worked at ASD summer camps. I researched heavily which schools looked at the last 60 credits and applied to schools that catered to my bilingual/ASD background. I applied for the first time this year to 8 schools and got 4 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Don't give up hope!
Hi! I applied to one school that only uses last 60 credits, and after it seemed like everyone else had been accepted/waitlisted/rejected, I emailed the director and a got a rejection the next day. It was my top choice school, too, so I followed up to ask how I should strengthen my application for next year and didn't receive a response. Another of the schools I applied to admitted to only evaluating the major GPA. This is the same school that hinted at an assistantship, but I was also denied.
Were your GREs above 150? It helps to balance a lower GPA with a higher GRE. Mine was 155V, 154Q, 4.5 Writing so not spectacular, but above average at least. I also calculated # of students accepted against # of students who applied. I applied to my dream schools of course, but also applied to some schools that had 30-50% acceptance rates in hopes of getting just one acceptance.

I think some good options would be to gain some more hands experience in the field or work as a RBT for a year and reapply next cycle. It sounds like you already have some good experience with ABA, and I know some therapy places for that also have a speech pathologist working there, which could provide an excellent opportunity for you to gain more experience.
Have you already researched these schools on edfind to gather what kind of applicants they accept?

I've visited all 3 of these programs a couple years ago, so I'll try my best to offer my insights. Right now I'm deciding between ASU and another program.
I felt that SDSU's program was my least favorite compared to both Arizona schools and it has a much smaller on-campus clinic than the other 2. I met with a professor and he was very nice. I just had better experiences at both Arizona and ASU. Both have really nice clinics and all 3 of these schools have great bilingual programs. I liked that Arizona has a separate pediatric clinic and overall I think they have a really academically strong, yet supportive program. ASU also had great facilities and they definitely place an emphasis on pediatrics if you're interested in working with kids. Also, all the faculty I met were very warm and caring. However, if you want to stay in San Diego, it might make more sense to go to SDSU since you'll likely have the opportunity to make connections with other local professionals as opposed to going out of state.
That's a bummer that you can't visit. It really helps to get a feel for the program, but I hope this helps!
Did you find SDSU's environment supportive/collaborative? I've talked to a UA graduate and they told me that the professors really try to make sure the environment is collaborative and not competitive like other programs can be. I think that is one of the things I am most worried about and hated most about undergrad.

Does anyone know if schools notify you when all spots are taken and if you've been officially rejected so you can stop hoping?
-
I have to re-take Neuro before starting my graduate program.. does anyone have any recommendations? I know Neuro is supposed to be more rigorous than some other classes, but my past professor talked like a robot and could not understand why over 50% of the class was failing so I'm hoping to do better the second time around. Thank you in advance!

Def SDSU if this is where you want to live. I live in CA and attend school in AZ, and there are differences on the state level that gets lost in the curriculum. For example, CA has a law called Larry p and AZ does not. Both are great programs though
Is the Larry P Law really followed?? I heard rumors that in CA, black students are given different IQ tests because of their race and are automatically test for AAVE dialect, but didn't know if it was true.

Does anyone have any insights on these schools? I applied to them for their Bilingual Certificate, but I am out of state and cannot afford to visit them both and don't know much about the rest of the department/professors. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
-
Do schools reach out to you about scholarships and funding? Or are you supposed to ask them? I've been accepted into a few schools and haven't gotten any emails/letters about funding/financial aid. Is it just assumed you get no awards if they don't contact you?

I think it's also important to remember that no placements are guaranteed, so don't go to one program only because you expect a placement at a particular institution. You should go for the whole educational package.
I agree with Parler75. A couple of my friends went to MGH and almost everyone goes there hoping for a medical placement, but in reality there aren't that many because MGH competes with Boston University for medical placements. They ask you to make a list of most wanted to least wanted placement settings, but don't always honor it.

Yeah I love Dr. Fabiano-Smith! I met her at ASHA in November and she's why I took a chance applying to UA instead of the other AZ schools. I submitted my application 1/11 and got accepted on 3/1 to the 2 year program, which is when I realized I know nothing about the rest of the department or UA at all haha. If it helps my stats are:
Last 60 credits GPA- 3.7
GRE- 155 V, 154 Q, 4.5 AW
SLPA & Bilingual research experience (Spanish & Vietnamese)
-
I recently got accepted into UA's program, but was wondering if anyone could give me insight about the school? I mainly applied for their bilingual extension, but does anyone know what the rest of the department is like? Are professors generally knowledgeable and willing to help? Are classes and the clinic located around the same area of campus? I live on the East Coast so I don't think I'll be able to visit the campus so any information would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Is it a bad idea to not go out 1-2 months before moving? I honestly have no time (and limited money) before my grad program starts to look at apartments in person.
