Hi everyone,
I am changing career paths from dental to speech pathology. I applied to GA State and unsurprisingly, didn't get in.
I have a 3.2 undergraduate GPA from Salem College (private women's college-rigorous) and my degree is a BS in Biology. I graduated in 2019.
I have a lot of volunteer work under my belt, including: crisis center pharmacy tech, advanced genetics lab TA in college, Salvation Army donation collector, research and writing volunteer for a domestic violence shelter, "big buddy" at child bereavement camp.
I have about 30 hours of observation hours at SLP clinics. I also have been a child caretaker (nanny) for over 2 years.
What advice would you have for someone like me to increase my chances at getting into a grad program? I really do not wish to take CSD undergrad pre-reqs outside of the masters program itself (mostly for financial reasons).
**Also, if you do highly recommend taking the CSD courses, do you know any online programs?
Thank you SO much!!
