me too:) So excited to get started & meet everyone else that will be in the speech-pathology program at Tennessee!

Apply to a range of schools. A lot of schools do not just want a person with a really high GPA/GRE...experiences also play a HUGE role in the decision process, generally speaking. I was freaking out about grad schools & where to apply because my gpa isn't a 4.0 (since I took a lot of math/science courses before switching my major). However, I had internships for the past two summers & volunteered with an SLP in an elementary school this year. Also, your statement of purpose will allow you to explain any inconsistencies in your record & if you really have a passion for this field then it will shine through in your SoP. I applied to 10 schools...got into 4, 3 rejections, and 3 waitlists. So don't freak out too hard! I was definitely freaking out thinking I couldn't get in since my gpa wasn't as high as most people but I got in one school you may want to look into is St.Ambrose in Iowa. They're fairly new, so they are just establishing their program. But don't limit yourself you can be just as qualified as the person with a super high gpa! Soooo sorry this is so long!! Hope this helps a bit

Hello all, Does anyone know anything about Eastern Illinois' program in SLP?? I have just been accepted there & was wondering if anyone has any additional insight other than what is on their website. Now I just need to decide between them and University of Tennessee! Thank you!!

I went down last week for my interview, and absolutely loved it!! I'm excited =) Do you know when we find out about the funding?? I could really use some! (haha, as we all could!) I've been doing a little searching on the internet for apartments & such...ehk, I should probably go down & look around though because I want to find the perfect place without too many distractions!

I am also most likely going to be attending UT for their M.S. Speech Pathology program! I would also like any information that anyone has to offer about the area & where to live....thanks
