Hello! Im currently working on my resume but Im confused on what kind of resume grad programs are wanting, like the ones we send out to apply for jobs or? If anyone could send me an example or template that would be great! My email is jacqueline.martinez23@hotmail.com ?

Hello Everyone! This may be a silly question but is there a difference between a letter of intent and a personal statement? Can anyone provide me with any examples of each? the program I am applying to wants a letter of intent and I just want to make sure it looks right. Thank you! Jackie

Thank you so much for your response!! I've also heard that its not difficult and that I shouldn't study for it. Thank you again!

Hi! Quick question; Im almost done with my online SLPA certification program and Im based in Texas! What is the Jurisprudence Exam like? Was it difficult? Is it something that I would have to study for? I realized this is more than one question (haha) but I just want to know what to expect and is it difficult to obtain the license here in Texas? Thank you!!

I applied to this online post bacc program from a school called ELMS College! They are based in Massachusetts but I live Texas so I did everything online (since it is an online program haha) and I'll be certified in May of 2020! I have been working full time and doing the program full time and right now Im doing my clinical practicums at two elementary schools! Also in my opinion it was not difficult at all, the program requires that you have at least a 2.6 gpa (undergrad) and you are definitely above that. I was surprised that they accepted me into the program but was also relieved! Also the classes are manageable! I would recommend the program. let me know if you have any other questions!!

Hello! If it helps I graduated from my uni with a 2.7 GPA and my degree was in Linguistics! After I graduated I looked for a post bacc program that would help boost my GPA and found a program that will help me become a certified SLPA! As of now my CSD GPA is a 3.9 and I've been told as well that most programs will look at the CSD GPA! I also wrote in my personal statement that I'm bilingual and how much of a need there is in the area im located at so I hope that will make me look like a "competitive" applicant. Overall I just wanted to let you know that I also have a low GPA during my undergrad but I've been constantly telling myself and with the help of others that I will definitely get into some grad program! So good luck to you and Im sure you will do great! Jackie

Congrats!! This gives me hope haha but, per above, do you mind sharing your stats or experience? ?

@mhocking Hi Morgan! Thank you for your response!! I was literally freaking out to everyone I know whenever I saw my overall GPA because I had calculated differently than what CSDCAS did. I hate that they calculated my repeats and failed courses. I want to reach out to the the program director from TWU about CSDCAS but im not sure how to word it haha but I mean they stated on their application this: "Admission Requirements for Successful Applicants: Minimum GPA of 3.0 required for last 60 hours, " Im going to assume that I am good since my last 60 is a 3.4! but thank you though, I like that your professor was blunt and im sure we will be just fine! I will definitely let you know how it goes and you let me know too! ? Jackie

@futurespeechpath1 Thank you for your response! I felt better reading your comment! I'll try not to worry so much hahah but thanks again!!

Hello Everyone! This is my first time applying to Grad school which is also my first time using the CSDCAS site. I applied to TWU which is my DREAM school to get into the SLP grad program. Anyways, my overall GPA is a 2.92 according to the CSDCAS calculated gpa and its low due to my undergrad (I started out as a nursing major that was a mess and then switched over to a linguistics major and I did not find out about speech language pathology until my last semester) after I graduated from uni, I went straight into a SLPA certification program and my CSD GPA is a 3.91 (boy does your grade change when its something you are interested in and love to learn about! haha) My last 60 credit hours GPA sums up to a 3.4. My question is, does anyone know which GPA does the program mainly look at it? Im scared that they will see my overall gpa and think wow she sucks and throw the whole thing away (not literally but maybe?) Ive already submitted my application since its due Jan 1st but I've been stressed out and scared since I really want to get into grad school in the Fall of 2020. (i've applied to other schools but TWU is my main one!) Other random facts: Ill obtain my SLPA license in the spring 2020, i am bilingual hence the reason I applied to TWU bilingual track, Im currently doing my clinical observations at two schools in and wow is the need for spanish speaking therapists a huge deal. I've gotten LOR's from two SLPs and supervisor from work. Thanks to anyone who responds! Jackie
