I would agree with raising GRE scores. It is worth studying extremely hard one more time to see if you can raise at least your quantitative and writing a little more. I bought a Kaplan book because I never knew Magoosh existed. It gave good tips and tricks on how to go about the questions and what the scorers will be looking for in writing responses. I think it would be well worth your time to try that. 
Other than that, maybe some volunteer or work experience in something related? I know a lot of people work as an aide or volunteer at camps for individuals with CP or Autism. That could be something you could look into. Also more shadowing hours at all different settings. Then perhaps you could have one of those SLPs write a LOR for you. Then you could say you have X amount of hours in a bunch of settings! 
Best of luck to you!

GRE is worth a shot. I used magoosh and raised my verbal quite a bit. 

I was literally in almost the exact same position!! I took a gap year where I focused on ASL and ABA certification and I had a 3.5 GPA! I just got in and what I think helped me was really good/above average GRE scores, as well as a boatload of field-related professional and volunteer work. GPA and GRE scores show your potential as a student, whereas experiences, letters of recommendation, and to a certain extent personal essays speak to your clinical potential. It's obviously much easier to change your GRE score versus your GPA, so if your GPA is less than perfect, a high GRE will instill confidence in your academic abilities! Play up your strengths in any written materials and if it feels necessary acknowledge your weaknesses, but don't put yourself down! Word it as a challenge you met and overcame- because it is! Good luck!!!

Absolutely play up Spanish in your applications! I did and tbh I feel like that plus my volunteer experience is what got my foot in the door.
If you're interested in bilingual/multilingual programs I'd suggest checking out programs on edFind! San Jose State, San Diego State, and Fullerton all have strong emphasis programs if you're looking to stay in Cali.

Hey all! I just graduated from the undergraduate program at Boulder, if you have any questions about anything considering the area or anything, maybe I can answer any questions! 

Hi! I think a gap year can be a really good thing. I finished my undergrad in 3 1/2 years, and going straight to the graduate application cycle was stressful! This is a second career for me, so I'm too old to take a gap year! If your state uses SLPA's, this is also a great way to gain experience in the field while you are working. Enjoy your time off, and take advantage of learning about the application process at the schools you plan to apply to, so that you can take your time to prepare all the components! I know that west coast schools have a high number of applicants each year, and the extra time and attention to your applications will help you stand out! ?

I just got accepted to Hampton University, and my gpa was lower than yours. I am sure you'll get in. These days, being billingual and able to work well with others of different cultures well is an advantage( youll be surprised so many people are horrible at this) . So def play that up ( your Spanish)- thats really important for billingual families, as well as the fact that you are going abroad. Def use those 2 to your advantage. I made sure to highlight I was a beginner in Arabic and studied in Turkey. So if I can do it why cant you? Make sure you get some great references too.

Yes great idea! I also forgot to mention that I am going on a therapy abroad trip this summer and in addition to the internships and volunteering I was a teaching assistant this past year, but yes I am definitely considering all of the options you mentioned. Sorry, I just keep thinking of things. Thank you!

Hi! Wanted to start a thread for those who were accepted to CU Boulder! I was accepted and will be attending in the Fall. I AM SO EXCITED. Is anyone else pretty sure or strongly considering Boulder?? I will also be at the open house! Anyone going to that? I know for people flying in it's a holiday weekend.
 
For people applying to Fall 2019 who might end up reading this thread  :
I attended a very early information session in Oct where the presenter gave a TON of helpful information. I worked very very hard on my personal statement that had a decent amount of personality and voice and was by no means dry.  I had a ton of people read it! I think out of everything my personal statement was my strongest. Good luck to all who apply next yr!
