That was super helpful, thank you! If you don’t mind me asking did you end up getting accepted?

Good luck! I hope you hear back soon! The wait is the worst part.

Like everyone mentioned above, it depends on the state. I have mine in Arizona. I got a supplemental certificate through my undergraduate program along with my bachelors degree. After I graduated I was then required to do 100 hours of treatment with clients with 100% supervison from a licensed SLP. Then I had to apply for a liscense with proof of 100 hours completed and pay $300 fee.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to post on here and ask if anyone has recently had an interview with this school or have any experience with this interview process and can tell me about the process and kind of how the questions are in the interview?

Thank you!

I have a question about this program, do they only accept applicants from certain states right now? I was interested in this program but it seems they don’t accept from all states.

Hello all. Hopefully someone can answer my question. I was looking at the admission requirements on CSUNs website and it states that letters of recommendation should come from academic faculty. Unfortunately, for myself, I haven’t been in school since 2016 and even when I was in school I didn’t form any relationships with my teachers. So I don’t think I could get a recommendation from any of them. At least ones that would be good enough to get my into grad school. Plus my undergrad was an online degree. My question is, has anyone here applied and not used academic faculty? I have all my experience through my job as a SLPA and was planning to use supervisors and such to give me recomendations. Do you think they would not look at my application if none of my recommendations aren’t from professors in the field?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Aw darn that sucks! I’m sorry, my town was actually kind of the same. I got lucky though the SLP who superivised me to get my license actually helped get me a job where she was working. But, to be a SLPA, I guess depending on where you live, you have to get licensed. To get licensed, you need to have about 100 hours of interaction with patients under what I believe is 100% supervision of an SLP. Almost like you would be volunteering but you get to work with the clients. The SLP who does this for you will sign off on your hours and you can then apply for a license in your state. It costs about $200-300 if I remember correctly also. I’m not sure if the rules are different in other states though. I am going on Arizona rules since that is where I live. I have a bachelors degree in speech and language sciences and I also received a SLPA certificate from my college where I took classes based on being a SLPA. Im hoping this experience helps me get into grad school this time around. I am applying for a second time and I didn’t have much experience or anything that made me stand out on my first round of applications. If you have any other questions let me know and good luck! ?

You can be a SLPA. That’s what I have been doing for the past year and I have a bachelors degree.

I know this has been posted on here before but could anyone give me a list of all the speech pathology online programs that allow you to attend from out of state? I have found some but you must be an in state resident. Thank you in advance!

Would you mind sharing some of your LOI with us?

I am also a second time applicant, and I was going to mention it was my second time applying. I think it shows that you are very committed and determined on being an SLP. For me I am going to highlight my improvememts since last application cycle. For example, last time I applied I didn’t have any experience in the field except for my undergrad degree. This time around I got my license as an SLP-A and landed a job at a Early Intervention clinic working with a variety of different clients which allowed me to get loads of experience. If you are going to mention that you are a second time applicant, if I were you I would highlight any improvements you’ve made on your application since last time. Good luck!

If you don’t mind me asking what we’re your stats and what schools did you get accepted to?

I would also love to know what schools you were accepted to!

If you don’t mind me asking, what school did you attend?

I just wanted to see what everyone’s study tips were that really helped them to do good on the GRE. My first time around applying to the SLP programs I was rejected from all schools and I know my GRE scores were not good so I want to raise my scores for next application round to give myself a better chance of being accepted this time. Any tips would be much appreciated!!
