    Hello, I'm curious how CF and SLPs negotiate your salary offer. How can we know it's a good offer compared to other peers in the area or even within the company? This is such a taboo topic so how do we make sure we are in a good position? Within the package, if salary is not high, what benefits can we negotiate to make up for the pay? Sign on bonus? Relocation bonus? promissory projected increase? what else?

    The national licensure for SLPA have changed as of 2020. Check the ASHA site for more details. https://www.asha.org/certification/2020-slpa-certification-standards/ Here's the rundown: 1. SLPA program or Bachelor's degree in SLP/CDIS or SLP core courses+Bachelor's degree in another field. You need one of these 3 2. 3-hour course (1-hour on each topic - ethics, patient confidentiality, and universal safety) 3. 100 supervised hours (80 direct and 20 indirect - teletherapy counts!) 4. pass national exam! 5. maintain licensure every 3 years!

    @Ivy27 Hi! are you in the MA SLP program at St. Augustine? I know the school is not accredited. How will students get certified by the board? Do we need to get additional approval and proof of the program's standards?

    @Cece93 Which schools did you apply to, if you don't mind sharing?

    I believe UT Dallas puts everyone who was not offered admissions on a waitlist. If applicants decline offers, they go down the waitlist and send new offers until their cohort is full. I may be wrong, but it's been a while so I don't doubt that's their system. Fresno sends out notifications the first 2 weeks of November. We should hear back soon.

    I believe post-bacc programs do not offer loans or financial aid. I paid for my courses out-of-pocket. I just worked and saved up for each semester. I hope this helps

    It's been over a month. Do you think we should call the department?

    From what I've learned, there's no point changing your hook/intro, past experiences, and current experiences. These should be set in stone. The only part of your statement that differs for each school should be the last paragraph, connecting your experiences/ambitions to the specific school. I hope that eases the anxiety on writing "multiple" letters. (because you really don't!) When doing your research for schools, look at what concentration the program highlights! If they emphasize Med-SLP training, but you're interested in education, most likely their faculty's researches and clinical preparation may not be ideal for you. Only apply to schools you truly stand with! Your desire to go to their school will make the writing process easier. Good luck!

    Congratulations everyone! I completed my application on September 15 (due date). My evaluators emphasized submitting their letters on the deadline date even though I asked for the letters back in May. They said there's no point submitting early, but from your early acceptances I think it would have made a big difference. Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear back from UT Dallas. Just staying hopeful

    Hi! I think you have a pretty good chance Like you said, some schools have waived the GRE scores entirely so your other experiences should stand out. Don't forget to link your experiences back to speech! Good luck!

    I would suggest calculating your last 60 credits GPA to see if that GPA is higher than your overall. Then, research grad programs that will base your application off the last 60 units. That will increase your changes! Also, highlight in your letter of intent your research, work, volunteer, internship experiences. Don't just list them, but write a story and make sure they flow together. The idea is to not tell them what you did, but rather what you've learned from those experiences and how it's influenced you in the field. If you still think you're not a strong candidate, don't be discouraged. Just take some time off to gain more experience and volunteer hours. Good luck~

    I would recommend keeping it to speech-related experiences. Unless there are huge gaps between your experiences, then provide other non-related work/volunteer experiences, but describe how you incorporated speech/language components during those time. For example, if you worked during the summer at a coffee shop you can put something along the lines "providing effective communication and services with team members and customers." I'm applying this cycle as well! Good luck!

    Hello everyone! I'm interested in UT Dallas's program. Can anyone share their personal pros and cons to the program? The website had a lot of information about the facilities and services provided, but I was hoping to talk to someone who is currently attending or have attended the program. Thanks in advance!
