Hi all, I'm currently planning to do my post bacc in CSD online from an American institution. I'm looking ahead to masters programs and desperately need advice from those who have already been through this. I would have preferred to do my masters online from Canada (I'm in Ontario) however after weeks of research I cannot find any American schools who offer this and allow me to do my placements here in Ontario. I contacted ENMU about their masters as I didn't mind attending campus for one semester however they got back to me basically saying that (despite it still being on their website) international students must attend their masters on-campus at ENMU because of 'difficulties in obtaining placements in Canada'. My options for a masters or even post bacc are extremely limited due to my low undergrad GPA (75% - Honours BSc Biomed.). I plan on doing my post bacc at ENMU online due to their admission requirements and low costs however I'm now unsure of where to go for my masters. I would love if people could share any success stories of being a Canadian applicant who got their degree in the USA. I don't want to be far from Ontario as my family and relationship are here and I am also solely responsible for funding my education (long travel distances are not ideal for my financial situation). What masters would you suggest? Are their ones that would primarily look at my post bacc? Ones that take a lot of Canadians? Won't drain my pockets? Ultimately, because this is the profession I want, I will move wherever in the USA to obtain it if necessary, I just don't know where to go or get advice. I'm the first in my family to go to school too so I really don't have many resources here. TL;DR What masters programs are the best for Canadian applicants who did poorly in undergrad Bonus points if you can list online masters that you did that allowed you to practice in Canada THANK YOU

I need advice please. I've decided I want to be an SLP after studying to become a researcher. I don't know where to go from here. I'm currently in my final year of my undergraduate degree (Honours - Biomedical Sciences) in Canada. I always thought I would go into research, particularly related to the brain and I took many classes geared towards that. Now wrapping up my degree, I can confidently say that I do not want my life career to be research and instead have decided I want to be an SLP. Unfortunately, upon further investigation I have discovered that I do not meet the requirements to be admitted into these programs. My gpa is way too low. My university doesn't use a traditional scale so I didn't even realize how bad it is. My cgpa at my university is a B+ but that apparently translates to a 2.3/4.0???? B+ for us is 75%. Students admitted to SLP programs in Canada are mostly hanging around 3.9 so any attempt to get in would be utterly futile. Furthermore, I have not taken linguistics classes or participated in the programs required by the USA, or had any related shadowing/volunteer experience. I'm really starting from 0 here. I looked at taking a post-bacc here to take certain linguistics classes but I was told I have to wait 2 year after graduating to do that because I need to be a "mature student". I don't see any use in applying to Canada so under the assumption that I will get this degree in the USA, where do I go from here? I'm not even competitive for American schools let alone having the prerequisite classes. I would love any tips, guidance, or personal stories that may help me. I feel completely stumped but I know this is what I want to do. Please Also, I know beggars can't be choosers but I'm also trying to pay attention to the cost of things. I can't afford some of these international tuitions let alone the living cost of America.
