  1. Curious if you decided on a program. I just got off the waitlist at UW and it was definitely my dream school but it's a confusing decision because I already accepted a position at a different school that is a lot less expensive. I never got to attend the open house in Seattle and didn't expect my odds of getting of the waitlist were very high. What did you like about it there? How was the faculty?
  2. I come from a very non-competitive school, and I have dreams much bigger than what the school I'm at is capable of doing for me. Unfortunately, because of how easy my current program is, I have no idea what it takes to get into other programs other than the basic GRE/GPA minimums and averages listed on their sites. Specifically, I'm in love with the idea of going into the MedSLP program at University of Washington. Below that, I'm looking at state schools like Michigan State University and University of Florida, as two examples. I think I may be able to get into some of the less prestigious (but still good) schools, but hopefully I'm not in for a shock. The MedSLP at UW is definitely a stretch for me, but I'm really curious as to what kind of backgrounds get people accepted/waitlisted there. The stats I've seen on gradcafe are very minimal. That place really is my dream school. My stats: GRE- 155V/157Q/4.5AW (considering retaking to get that verbal score up, I've scored better on practice tests) GPA- 3.95 GPM- 4.0 My experience is minimal when it comes to the field of SLP because I transferred into the program last year from biology at a different school. I do everything that's expected though as far as NSSLHA, observation, a small amount of volunteering, and I've also done quite a bit of research in the past year. I think my resume was much more impressive when I was a biology major, with a high GPA and an amazing research experience in biochemistry that took me to conferences across the country. But honestly, I have no idea if schools care about that since it's not related to SLP (it shows I have an aptitude toward science-based classes though). I've also served on various executive boards for all 4 years of undergrad and have been a very active student around campus at both schools, just not particularly toward my field. And my LOR's come from two professors, each of whom I did research for, and a clinician I've shadowed a few times. I'm a good student and I know that my current school wants me to be a grad assistant and research assistant next year in their grad program, but I really just want to make it into some of these better schools with more opportunities specifically in the medical settings. Thoughts? Feel free to post your stats and school preferences too if you want. I'm curious to know what kind of other applicants are out there. I'm sure lots of you guys blow me out of the water!
