    Non-stats math pre-req?

    Hi Peachyspeachy,

    You could perhaps look into taking the College Algebra CLEP? That would probably be the most inexpensive and quickest way to get the Math course done. My Undergrad required me to do a Math course as a prereq for my Stats class and I took the CLEP to test out of the Math so that I could go straight into the Stats course. I emailed Dr. Melnick about that yesterday, since my acceptance letter also said I needed to send them a transcript of a completed math course, and he said to just send my CLEP results to the department as that will be sufficient enough to fulfill the Math requirement.

    Hope that helps!  

    I emailed Dr. Melnick a few times asking questions about their program's requirement, and he never bothered to reply. So I decided not to apply to Worcester.

    @WesttoEast18 Thank you so much, this was extremely helpful. I know about the last semester externships, and it is something that I loved about it. I have heard wonderful things about their program and I want to attend (but I am also very far away) and tuition is way cheaper too. Thank you so much :)

    That sounds great! Congratulations! But if you live far away, will you still receive in-state tuition rates?

    Some people have already posted they've been waitlisted by U of South Dakota on the results page, but I still haven't heard anything from USD yet. I'm wondering if that's normal? How about other people who applied to USD, have you heard acceptance/rejection yet?

    Also, any insights into the USD SLP program is deeply appreciated!!!

    I've heard really good things about this school!  I was invited to interview but declined because 1. The distance- it was so far north and personally further than I wanted to be.  I know NY is cold during winter, but I hear it's even colder than average up there (pretty much Canada that far north lol).  2.  This may be personal preference but I wanted to earn a M.S. after graduate school versus a M.A.  I've read that in our field, it really doesn't matter but for me it was just personal preference.   If you don't care about either of those things then you should check it out!  I have heard from multiple people that it's a good program and since it's a state school it will be cheaper. 

    May I ask what specific good things that you've heard of this school?

    SLP Graduate Assistantship

    in Speech-Language Pathology Forum

    Posted

    Hello all,

    For those of you who receive graduate assistantships while attending a SLP graduate program, how difficult is it for you to manage time? I know that many programs require 10-20 hours of work per week in exchange of tuition reduction, but considering the challenging level of graduate school, that's a lot of time taken off from study. How do you handle the work and study? I'm considering to apply for assistantship, but I'm more concerned with my academic success and wondering whether I should still apply. I hope to hear from your experience guys! Thanks!

    How Important is Statistics in SLP Graduate School?

    Statistics is used in graduate school. Research is very important since it guides us in our practice. As mentioned by everyone else, stats is mostly used with interpreting standardized tests. For my program specifically, we read tons of research articles and we have to summarize the findings. It'll also help you during your research methodology course and with your thesis (if you're required to do one). 

    Thanks for the advice! Do you use statistic software often? Such as Excel and others?

    Hi guys,

    For those of you who are attending or have attended an SLP graduate program, do you use statistics often? How important is statistics in an SLP program? What kind of statistics do you use, if any? How heavily is your statistics analysis based on software, such as Excel and others? I'm really poor at statistics, especially using software. Your advice would be deeply appreciated!!

    Easy Program or Difficult Program? Which One to Apply?

    in Speech-Language Pathology Forum

    I am looking into the SLP programs that I can apply for Fall 2018, but I'm having some dilemma. School A requires more graduate coursework and research, and it offers courses such as Cranial Facial Abnormity (cleft palate) and two challenging courses in neurogenic communication disorders. On the other hand, School B requires no research, and it requires less coursework and doesn't offer specific courses in cleft palate and neuro, thus it's less challenging. I understand School A will get me more prepared for my SLP career, and I need to learn cleft palate and neuro stuff for my long-term professional development. However, my immediate concern is to survive grad school, and I believe I can do better with school B as it is less challenging.

    These two schools are similar in reputation, cost and distance. I need your opinion guys!

    GRE Score Confusion

    in GRE/GMAT/etc

    Posted

    I took my GRE General test on 10/31/2016, and the unofficial test score was published immediately to me after the test, with Verbal 162 and Quantitative 162. After about 10 days, the official score report was also published within my ETS GRE account, with the same scores (Verbal 162 and Quantitative 162), in addition to the Writing score of 4.5. Four free score reports have also been sent to four schools after the test with the same scores of 162 for both the Verbal and Quantitative parts.

    However, I was trying to order additional score reports yesterday, and surprisingly noticed that both my Verbal and Quantitative scores have been changed to 161 from their originals of 162. I don't know why that could happen and wonder whether it's a technical error that caused the problem. From my understanding, if the scores are published as official, there shouldn't be any changes after that especially after score reports containing my original scores have already been sent to universities.

    Anyone has similar experiences?
