    The exams aren't bad at all! I got like a 95 on the last one. Super straightforward, like as long as you take the time to listen to the lectures/ review the material they are super easy. They record it and then I think the prof might just glance over the video if they are suspicious or something? I'm really not sure. But it's not creepy or anything. This is my second course through USU and both experiences have been great! 

    Thank god someone doesn't watch you! I had 2 online classes that did that and it was awful. But yeah that class sounds good, I'll definitely have to look into it!

    I would highly recommend Utah State University for aural rehab online. Taking it right now and it's very straightforward and simple! I only have to put in minimal time each week. Their courses are also relatively cheap compared to some other schools I've looked at! 

    Thank you! I just found a syllabus for it and it doesn't seem too bad! How are the exams? It says they use Proctoria is that someone actually watching you or do they just record it? This is the only thing I don't like about online classes lol

    I am currently taking Aural Rehab right now and can honestly say, it is one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I have taken Molecular biology, cellular biology, neuropsychology, physiology, neuroscience, etc. and this is the class that is giving me a hard time. It is actually ridiculous. There is just SO MUCH INFORMATION. I currently go to Saint Mary's College, our aural rehab professor is super hard. We are all struggling a lot. We often complain about how much information there is. It definitely takes up a lot of our time. I don't get low scores, and this class, I have experienced some of the lowest scores I have ever received. Honestly, just trying to get out with a B. 

    I do not know how this class is at other schools, but for me, it has been difficult. 

    I have taken summer classes before and if you want to have a job during the summer, you'll be totally fine. I worked part time and was training for figure skating everyday while I was taking summer classes, and it was fine!

    Omg, that sounds atrocious! I haven't taken those hard classes, but I can imagine! I got into Saint Mary's and very likely I'm going there and was considering taking it in person during grad school, but I also wanted to get it out of the way. Are the other classes there that difficult? I've heard from a friend that grad school there isn't too bad and that the professors are generally nice.

  4. Aural rehab is the only prerequisite that I need to take before I start grad school and was looking at all of the options and it seems like University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is the best option, based on other posts. Does anyone have any insight to the course? Passed syllabus? I'm going to try to have a job during the summer as well and want to make sure this class won't take up too much time.

    I personally did it to try and stand out. I was also trying to be the best applicant I could be and it could be helpful if deciding between your application and another applicant. However like @Lwc23 mentioned some schools might only look at the letter required. I'm not sure how it was handled by CSDCAS which letters were sent out but I just did it anyway. 

    I'm just curious how was the application process applying to that many schools? Also if you wouldn't mind, what were your gre scores? I'm interested in Governors State University and would like some insight if I have a good chance. Thank you

    As much as it sucks to say this, I would retake the GRE. I know for a fact at the University of Alabama, they will not take a GRE score under 300 but they will take a student with a low GPA with a gre score of 300 or higher

    I don't believe that any of those schools I am applying to have a hard cutoff score. I also heard that it looks bad to have gre scores that close for some reason which I believe would happen to me

    I would agree with the above that you should probably try to retake the gre to get a few more points, try magoosh! If you have a opportunity to gain more experience that you could write about in your personal statement, that would be great too, but I think you might just want to go for trying to retake the gre as a priority. Let me know if you have any questions! 

    I bought magoosh, but I have not been finding a lot of time or motivation to do it because when I was watching the videos and doing practice problems I was not learning the concepts at all despite watching the videos. I know it takes awhile, but I did study the whole summer too. I just freak out during those long tests. Do you not think that working as an ABA therapist would subside my current gre scores?

  8. Hi, I'm a senior now and I am in the process of applying to grad schools for fall 2020. I recently took the gre and scored fairly bad (V:145, Q:143, writing: 4.5). I know SLP schools generally look for 150 for each section, but I am not sure if I could improve because I did study the whole summer and that's what I got. Should I try harder or try to beef up my applications some other way? I do not have research experience because it is extremely competitive at my school to get in one. I do have experience with volunteering over the summer with children who had speech sound disorders and I worked with children for a summer camp (not SLP related). Other than that I just tutor people in a linguistics course. I really want to get into grad school, just didn't leave myself much opportunity to stand out that much. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
