Hi there! I'm currently writing my personal statement for grad school, would anybody be able to help me edit/look over it? Thank you soo much in advance :)

I guess I just want it as a backup plan if I don’t get into grad school.. at least having a cert can possibly get me something like a SLPA job vs. wasting all my time taking the prereq courses on its own and not having a cert + not getting into grad school. It’s comforting to hear that 5 courses isn’t a lot haha there will be an observation course. Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! I am looking into taking my pre-req courses for SLP and came across the post grad cert in Speech and Language Sciences at Brock. I like the idea that you get a certificate but do grad schools look favourably upon it? I’ve also taken into consideration that i would have to take 5 courses a term for the certificate, which might affect my grades versus if I only take 2-3 pre req courses on my own per term. Brock is quite far from where I live (Toronto) so I will also have to rent a place. My alternative option would be to do the CDA program from Durham then take the pre req courses on the side so I can get some clinical experience/have a back up plan if I don’t get into grad school. If anyone has done the cert, could you share if it’s worth doing or am I better off just taking the courses separately? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
