Hey, guys. I got off the Waitlist for UofA early June. Thought I’d share my stats for future applicants.
GPA: 3.73
CASPER: 1st Quartile
Experience: 5+ years volunteering at a Sunday school (ages 4-12), 2 years at Big Brothers Big Sisters (ages 9-10), 1 year working in an SL4 Facility (ages 70+ usually) and babysitting experience (varied ages).
References: two good ones and one that I suspect was mediocre.
Bonus assets: Fluent in French, B1 in 3 other languages (Italian, Japanese and Korean). Also, two separate study abroad experiences.
SOP: really hyped up my experience working with elders who have speech disorders as well as my desire to do bilingual (FR-EN) speech therapy.
