Hello there! I'm a second year undergraduate at Georgetown University. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have a speech language pathology program, so I'm majoring in linguistics but making sure to focus on neurology and phonetics/phonology classes. I had something really terrible happen right at the beginning of my freshman year, so it tanked my GPA and I wasn't involved with anything on campus. Second semester, I got straight A's. I took a semester off for Fall 2020 due to health complications, and am going back for Spring 2021. My dream is to go to George Washington University for the post-bacc, then a master's. However, I'm struggling to find ways to get SLP experience without being in an SLP program for undergrad? Also, does anyone have any other recommendations for how to get more involved? What kind of things are grad schools looking for in an applicant? Thank you in advance!
