If you just missed getting into grad school, there is still hope! The same thing happened to me last year and I've worked as a Speech Therapy Practice Associate at Chicago Speech Therapy during my year off. I've gained amazing experience at a multidisciplinary practice and I am happy to say I was admitted into multiple programs for Fall 2018. This experience also reaffirmed my passion for the field and the grad schools I applied to this year were very impressed with the experience I've gained prior to starting a grad program. If you are interested in this position, here is a link to find out more and apply.
Above all, don't lose hope! If you are really passionate about this field, taking a year off to gain experience and re-apply the next term is a wonderful back-up plan. Stay positive and spend time enhancing your resume. Take it from me that it can be done and is totally worth it
