Which undergraduate degree should I choose
ccspeechie replied to fbaerga's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
@jomyers.onlineI could not have said it better! I absolutely agree that majoring in special/elementary education can really prepare you for graduate school and a career in speech-language pathology. It was a great fit for me, so I recommend undergraduate students to consider it! I go to Seton Hall in NJ for undergrad. -

Which undergraduate degree should I choose
ccspeechie replied to fbaerga's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Hi there! I just applied for my Master's in Speech Language Pathology. For undergrad, I double majored in Special/Elementary Education and Social and Behavioral Sciences. I have always known I wanted to work with children, and this route has given me countless student-teaching experiences. I also would choose your undergraduate program based on funding in addition to what program they have. For example, my undergraduate program gave me almost a full ride. They did not have an undergraduate major in CSD. Instead, they had a 4+2 program where you would major in Special/Elementary Education for four years with a concentration in Speech Language Pathology, then automatically enroll in their 2 year Master's program for Speech Language Pathology. This experience has been an amazing fit for me personally, but everyone is different! I know others who have majored in Linguistics and Psychology and loved it. Good luck! -

SLP Graduate Applications -- Letters of Rec
ccspeechie replied to ccspeechie's question in Questions and Answers
Hi! Thank you so much -
Does anyone know if NYU offers funding for CSD students?
ccspeechie posted a question in Questions and Answers
I am struggling to find information about New York University's funding opportunities for students in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program. Do they offer any funding in the form of scholarships, grants, research assistantships, graduate assistantships, etc?-

Hey! First off, it'll all be okay! You seem like you have put thought into this and I know you'll make a great decision. In terms of taking the GRE in 2 weeks or not -- you're either getting your full money's worth by taking the exam, or getting half your money back by not taking it. It is totally up to you, but I think taking it in 2 weeks with the intention of seeing where your scores are at will be helpful practice. Since you need the scores for school a few years from now, there is less pressure. However, you do not want to drag out the process. Personally for me, my test dates have gotten moved around because of COVID. Without a test date or a "end goal" in mind, it was very hard to study. I recommend getting the GRE out of the way. Whether you take the exam in 2 weeks or not, try to make a plan that is best for you, stick to it, and try to have your final test scores within x months. Make a plan. Tell yourself you will allow yourself to retake it x times and you will study x amount per day. The worst thing you could do it drag the GRE studying and test taking process along. It's not fun (everyone can agree to that) so work your booty off to get the scores you want --- and you will have them for when your graduate schools need them. Also last piece of advice -- Magoosh's GRE package is great! It was truly worth my money.

Hi! For all of my grad school applications, they require 3 letters of rec. I already have the first 2 confirmed. As for the 3rd letter, I am deciding between two professors. Professor A: I took her intro to comm disorders during the fall of sophomore year and received an A. She is also my advisor for NSSLHA which I am the co-president of (for my junior and senior year). She can speak on my academics as well as my communication skills, leadership skills, etc through NSSLHA. I thought she'd offer something new about my leadership skills since the other 2 professors I asked are speaking about my academics. Professor B: I took her hearing and speech sciences course during the spring of junior year and intro to audiology the summer between junior and senior year. I received a B in both classes. I worked my booty off in both classes and she knows how engaged and involved I was in the class. I would call her to clarify questions and to ask questions about my interests (such as how cleft palate relates to hearing impairments). I think Professor B knows me better but I was worried that the two B's would look "bad". FYI the second B I was .5 away from getting a B+. If I meet with her virtually, I can describe to her my involvement in NSSLHA and other ways I show my leadership skills. She can still speak on these skills but not as much on a personal level than professor A. Which professor would be best for my 3rd letter of rec?

Hi!! I am having the absolute worst time re scheduling my GRE exam so I can take it from home. I was supposed to take my exam in June at a testing center near me, but that testing center closed. Proctor U is impossible to schedule with. Every single time I click any date in the near future, it tells me "It appears the time you selected has been blacked out or the exam time would extend into a blackout". None of the proctor U customer service people have helped me. ETS had my friend on hold for 2+ hours and then dropped the call. This same friend was supposed to take her GRE last weekend. She met with her proctor, scanned the room, etc, and when it came time for the exam, ETS was giving them trouble and they had to cancel her exam. Has anyone been successful in scheduling and taking the GRE from home?

Hi! I am a junior in an undergraduate program for Special/Elementary Ed and Speech Language Pathology. I wanted to list my GPA, work experience, leadership experience, etc and ask where I should apply to? I really love the following programs: BU, Emerson, MGH, Northeastern, UT at Austin. Do you think I will be accepted to those programs? GPA: 3.88 cumulative. 3.4 in my 6 speech prerequisites. I received a C+ in Anatomy but will be retaking it in the fall. However, grad schools will not see it in time. I will update them though when I get my new updated grade in December. Leadership: Co-president of NSSLHA for junior and senior year Internships: NYU Internship (accepted but canceled due to covid), internships at 3 schools in NJ (Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade) Work Experience: Teacher at a daycare from freshman-senior year Volunteer experience: Service trips to El Salvador, Haiti, Boston, and West Virginia. I have logged about 30 hours in various settings shadowing SLPs. Letters of Rec: I know I will have strong letters of recommendation from one speech professor, and two education professors GRE: I have not taken yet but am scheduled to take it on June 1. I have bad test anxiety but have been studying for months
