Slp2018j Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hey everyone! This is my second year applying to the SLP program. Do you think it is advantageous to mention that it is my second time applying (it might show that I am a committed student that is passionate for SLP)? If I do mention it, how should I phase it to show that applying to the program a second time is advantageous/a good asset to my application? Thanks in advance!! smileyslp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendallSLPA Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I am also a second time applicant, and I was going to mention it was my second time applying. I think it shows that you are very committed and determined on being an SLP. For me I am going to highlight my improvememts since last application cycle. For example, last time I applied I didn’t have any experience in the field except for my undergrad degree. This time around I got my license as an SLP-A and landed a job at a Early Intervention clinic working with a variety of different clients which allowed me to get loads of experience. If you are going to mention that you are a second time applicant, if I were you I would highlight any improvements you’ve made on your application since last time. Good luck! smileyslp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarieSLP2b Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am applying for a second time to the same program and I rather start off with a fresh slate and not mention it to the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelsHud Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I am not going to mention that I am a second time applicant. I just want to start off fresh this year but I am applying to a program I applied to last year but not telling them lol smarieSLP2b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysaFalcon Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Personally I applied 3 different times and never mentioned that it was multiple times. I personally never thought about mentioning that fact in my letter of intent. Instead I just tried to make my application stronger in other ways like experience, letters of recommendations and the programs I was applying to.
