I appreciate all you had to offer, definitely have a lot to consider if I decide to reapply. Thank you so so much!!

You're so sweet! I'm trying to stay positive, but after 4 years its so hard. Where were you an SLPA? I've been looking at a lot of SLPA jobs in Texas.

You can see where schools are in their accreditation process on edfind! As well as how many students applied and what their stats looked like. 

I totally get not wanting to retake the GRE. You definitely have a lot of experience which is a positive but unfortunately schools weigh heavily on GPAs and GRE scores. I’m sure many people don’t like, I certainly don’t, it but it’s a painful truth. I looked at some of those same schools when I was getting ready to apply and I know from the ASHA Edfind site many accept GPAs starting at a 3.0 which would mean you just fall inside the range. Have you ever thought of applying to schools that offer an even larger GPA range like University of South Carolina which shows the GPA range starting at a 2.5? I’m not sure that’s the best advice but I have a similar GPA and GRE scores as you do and if I had to do this again I would definitely find and apply to schools that offered a larger range. 
Alternatively, you could see about maybe taking some courses to boost your GPA? 
I wouldn’t throw in the towel just yet. You’re definitely passionate about this, you wouldn’t have tried for so long if you weren’t. 

I've heard there is a new SLP program in Miami that is easier to get into...Albizu University. Might be worth a shot! This is my greatest fear.....good luck, I hope it happens for you !

I applied to newer programs and I think that is why I have had the most success. I will be Concordia University - Wisconsin's first cohort, but I'm going to be a SLP thats all that matters. I only had a 3.4 GPA and 3.5 major GPA with 149 verbal 145 quant. 

My signature list the schools I was accepted to. I had to go out my "comfort" zone and apply to schools that cost a ton or out of my immediate area. I live in Los Angeles and there's no way I could have applied to CA schools only. Oh, and my cumulative GPA is low!
