I'm from New Jersey and am in the process of signing a lease for an 8/1 move in. My orientation starts August 27th, but I wanted a few weeks to get furniture and get adjusted to the area. From what I've seen, 9/1 is the most common move in date, but 8/1 exists too. I started looking online (apartments.com, zillow, trulia) but I found those were limited. I googled "best boston realtors" and contacted some realtors that way. They were able to send me different listings with video tours and pictures. Then I went to Boston end of April to see some apartments in person, found one I liked, and started the application process. So I think this month would be the best time to sign a lease. Good luck!
Great idea, I filled out the form!
When I was in high school applying to college, my school had this calculator that took your GPA and SAT score and you can see applicants with scores similar to yours which really helped me get an idea of which colleges I would get into. I know college GPA and GRE scores aren't everything, but I think being able to compare your numbers with others can be helpful.
My best advice is to look them up! Google search terms that I've used so that I only get actual pdfs of resumes and CV's:
"SLP resume" filetype:pdf
"SLP CV" filetype:pdf
Most of the ones you'll get are for professors - while yours won't be as extensive, these are the people that are evaluating your application so they'd be good to emulate.
You could also see if the school(s) you're applying to have any samples or advice. These are KU's:
KU Sample 1
KU Sample 2
KU Instructions for writing a resume/CV
General advice:
Resumes and CVs are slightly different. Be sure you know which you'll be submitting. CVs are used most often in academia, and tend to be longer. Resumes are used most often in industry, and are usually 2 pages or less.
In SLP, it's best to stick with APA if you're going to be citing any of your work. If you're a first, second, third, etc. author on any papers, you'll want to bold your last name.
Anecdotally, you should include key things that the program looks for in their applicants. You'll usually find this on their homepage. Do they really push interprofessional teamwork? Highlight that in your bullet points. Do they really want their students to focus on evidence-based practice? Highlight your experiences with using evidence to make decisions in your resume.
I've already doxxed myself to the moon on this site, so here's mine: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uRJlskRwQPcEsX4vY7h6RY91yCn99CIDczV0UKfN2rw/edit?usp=sharing
* please don't plagiarize, my CV is published on my website so it would show up in plagiarism checkers, I'm just linking it as a potential resource. Absolutely feel free to borrow the formatting, though!
DM me if you'd like me to look yours over! I don't check my inbox as often as I should, but I promise I'll get around to it!
I would never claim to be an expert, so please take everything I've said here with a grain of salt.
I'm a bit picky about what I wanted (2 bed 2 bath, central heat and ac, as close to campus as possible) so I wanted to start early. It paid off because I got everything I wanted. I had to pay a broker fee equivalent to 1 months rent, but I didn't have to pay last months rent so it kinda evened out.
I think the pandemic has made it easier to do the whole process online which is great if you can't see places in person.

Please forward this survey to anyone you know that is in CSD/SLP/SPLH or interested in applying for SLP or AUD grad programs!
Hi all!
When applying, I found it pretty difficult to get a sense of what the GPA ranges for admitted students meant for my application, and would have loved a bit more information. As this is data that programs likely gather already, I plan to propose a request for changes to the data that Edfind displays. I created a survey to determine if these changes would be supported by other students! There are questions about how you would use the data, but those are optional. Your answers will remain anonymous.
Proposal 1: Including average Cumulative GPA of admitted students for each program
Proposal 2: Including average CSD/SLP/SLPH Major GPA of admitted students for each program
*This is not for a class or research project it just really would have helped me.
Update: FYI for anyone who cares, I messaged them on FB and they said the fact that Tufts wasn't listed on the site was just an oversight, they're gonna add it. Tufts students are also eligible to shop at MIT Furniture Exchange (once it reopens).
Anyone still waiting to hear back from schools? I'm still waiting on UConn and Kean. UConn is probably my second choice so I'm really hoping to hear back this week (they originally said we would hear back around 3/15)
Your job as a teacher's assistant is related to the field, so you could definitely draw on that experience for your personal statement in your next round of applications! I've heard in and around that it can help to email the programs that you received rejections from to ask if there are specific things that you could focus on before that next round, so that you know where you should focus your energy. People have had mixed luck with that tactic though, and sometimes receive canned responses. I've heard that it helps to email the admissions director directly to avoid those sorts of responses.
If you don't want to wait a full year to apply again, you could look at programs that have later deadlines or programs that do rolling admissions.
Nova Southeastern - July 15
Valdosta State University - rolling admission, deadlines in July, October, and March
Midwestern University - May 1
NYU - Priority deadline is April 27, final deadline is June 7, classes begin in September
University of Central Florida - rolling admissions, deadlines in October, January, and February
Emerson Online - June 25 and October 29
Baylor Online - rolling admissions, next cohort deadline is June 28
UT Dallas - February 15 and September 15
Salus University - May 1
Here is a list of other opportunities that you could use to strengthen your application:
Other Related Jobs/Volunteer Positions:
Volunteer or work at a preschool: this experience will improve your knowledge of child speech and language development
Volunteer or work with adults with intellectual disabilities: working with adults with communication differences will ready you for work in the field. In this sort of a position, you will likely gain experience with data tracking and goal setting as well. The process that we use to create and track goals at the company I work for is incredibly similar to the IEP process that SLPs use in school settings.
Volunteer or work at a Speech Therapy private practice
Obtain SLPA licensure if your state utilizes SLPA's.
Clubs/Student Organizations (you can sometimes join as a community member even if you're not enrolled at a University):
Best Buddies
Start your own CSD or Pre-SLP club! Nancy over at the Sunshine Speechie podcast had some good tips on how she got a Pre-SLP club going at Clemson University, but I can’t find the exact post.
I helped found a student organization that provides cultural equity training to undergraduates in pre-health majors.
Leadership positions are highly sought-after, but they really do offer you a leg up if you can get one! A way to obtain leadership positions is getting really involved in the activities and events that organization is working on - they'll recognize your motivation and commitment and will be more likely to want to give you more responsibility.
Observations/Job Shadowing:
It’s always worth it to cold-call Speech Pathologists in your area to see if they’d be willing to let you job shadow for a day or two. Try to branch out: ask SLPs in medical settings, at schools, and in private practice settings.
You could also sign up for the Master Clinician Network (I think it's $50ish) for informal observations online. I did this during Covid-19, as the observations that I had set up fell apart as soon as the pandemic hit. *keep in mind, these will NOT count towards the 25 guided observation hours required by most programs*
Continuing Education/Professional Organizations:
There are TONS of free and low-cost CEUs available since the start of the pandemic! They usually offer certificates for completion. Doing a couple of these will show your school that you are dedicated to learning more about the field
Join the NSSLHA! If you can, ask a local university that does offer an undergraduate CSD program if you can sit in on their meetings.
Try to find a practicing SLP that would be able to mentor you through your next application process: they might be able to edit your personal statement, help you polish up your resume, and they might be able to find you other opportunities that you wouldn't have otherwise known about!
Undergraduate Research:
See if one of your previous psychology or linguistics professors offers volunteer positions in their research labs. Most master's programs really want to see research experience, even if it isn't directly related to Speech Pathology.
Offer to volunteer as a research assistant for a Speech Pathology professor at a few programs that you're interested in. If you're not able to move at this point, ask if they would accept a remote volunteer to work on administrative tasks. It never hurts to try!
See if any local universities offer research credits as one-time, a-la-carte electives. You could work on your own research project, and may even be able to present your work as a poster or presentation at a research symposium or convention!

Congrats!! I'm actually still waiting to hear from Emerson, but feels like I'm rejected since it's been so long. Don't know if you were at the grad student open house for Emerson but I was actually very impressed by the experience of the students. It seemed like the program is friendly to out of the field students and takes students' traveling preference into consideration when it comes to finding placements. I do think Emerson has a smaller campus but oh well it's right next to the park.
Don't know that much about NEU but the reason I applied to them is that the research and labs are exploring and developing the integration of technology into SLP.
Just wanted to see if anyone here has had success with seeking SLPA or Speech & Language para positions on Linkedin. Or, if you're a CF, did you use this site at all in your job searches?
Also, feel free to drop your handle or PM me, I'm trying to grow my network a bit and would love other undergrad/grad student connections. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jomyersonline/
See:
r/slp: Is it worth making a LinkedIn profile in SLP?
r/slp: What are your opinions regarding LinkedIn?
A blog post from all the way back in 2011 about groups to join on Linkedin, most of which are still applicable
@Bspeech Yes it was the graduate application portal. Mine also still says "submitted", but now there is a new tab under "print receipt" that says "view your decision letter"
From the UVM website: The department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Vermont is actively working to be inclusive and implement fair and equitable treatment during the graduate application process. We are aware that bias and other forms of unfair treatment have historically put some students, especially students of color, at a disadvantage with regard to standardized testing (GRE) and grade point average (GPA). In response, we are committed to a holistic process of review to consider the entire profile of every applicant.
Basically, it's not that the program isn't competitive, it's just that they have a holistic review process for applications. They'll put additional weight on letters of recommendation, personal statements, and your resume. Last year, they received 110 applications, admitted 72 students, and had 16 enroll. These are some strange stats. I'm assuming it's verified, so for SLP schools, that's a pretty good chance for an acceptance letter or at least a chance to get off the waitlist! (65% acceptance rate)
The last few years, they've been sending admissions decisions between mid-February and late March.
SUNY Plattsburgh: Out of 43 applications, they admitted 29 students, and 19 enrolled. (67% acceptance rate)
From meandering around the forum, some schools will offer acceptance and allow you to complete levelling courses if you're out-of-major. Just make sure that the schools you're looking at accept out-of-major students, and email the program to make sure.
