Oh wow thank you! I do have a ton of experience/volunteer stuff and I still haven't taken the GRE so who knows maybe I'll do super well on that.

Wow that's amazing! Thank you!

That's really good! Ahh I wish I could go out-of state. Unfortunately, I can't go to the east coast right now due to financial reasons. I'm going to work extremely hard these last few weeks for a B then aim for A's in my last classes! Thank you!

Yeah it's really competitive everywhere. I'll just work extremely hard to pull a B in the class and aim for A's in my last few classes.

Thank you to everyone who has replied! I just wanted to say that I have not gotten any C's yet I meant to say I may or may not get one. So far I have a 3.7 GPA outside the major and after this semester if I get a B which is what I'm aiming for I'll have a 3.6 in the major. I do aim for A's not B's and I understand I have a lot of B's right now...but after this semester if i get the B and not a C I'll have 4 A's and 4 B's. Then in the fall if I get A's in my major courses it'll be 7 A's and 4 B's.

Thank you! I haven't gotten a C yet I'm just worried I will get one after I take the final exam. There is still a chance I'll get a B if I do really well on the final.

I do aim for A's and I haven't gotten the C yet I'm just worried I will get a C in the class. There is a chance I'll get a B though I'm just worried I won't bring it up.

That's amazing!! Congratulations!! Did you get mostly A's aside from the 3 C's? I have a lot of experience like being a research assistant, VP of NSSLHA, volunteer experience, being a literacy tutor, etc. but honestly grad schools seem to care more about academics than experience at least from what I've seen.

If you don't mind me asking did you have mostly A's? And did you by any chance apply to schools in IL?

I know for sure I second guess myself. My anatomy professor told me he'd always be disappointed to see that I erased the correct answer on my scantron and bubbled in an incorrect answer, he said if I didn't do that he doesn't doubt I would've gotten an A in the course. I am praying and studying so hard for a B I always work super hard but in that class it never shows. I wish the course was offered over the summer, unfortunately at my undergrad no CSD classes are offered over the summer.

I use those functions on Quizlet but I never tried the fill in the blank method but I'll give it a try! Thank you so much!

I actually know a current grad student who got in with that same GPA!

Did you get mostly As aside from the C? I'm just really nervous because it seems like grad schools don't care much for extracurriculars and just look at GRE and GPA.

I just keep telling myself I haven't gotten a C yet and I might nice but it's a possibility which is horrifying. Thankfully my non-CSD GPA is really good but I feel like grad programs don't really look at that. Did you have more As than Bs in your CSD GPA?

There is a speech path professor who told us that emailing a school your waitlisted too will put you further down on the waitlisted not know if that's true or not though she might've just been saying that. I personally don't think it's a bad idea! Or even call and ask. The director of grad admissions Dr. Schellinger is actually really nice. I don't think it'd be bad to contact them and ask for more information just because you are showing interest in the school. If you don't mind me asking what's your GPA and GRE?
