Ccceeewww97 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Is it ok to use the acronym SLP in my personal statement? Some of my schools have a 1 page limit and typing out speech-language pathologist takes up a lot of space lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibliophile222 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 In a research paper you would want to type out the whole thing first, then put the acronym in parentheses and use the acronym in the rest of the paper, like so: "I have wanted to be a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) since..." They'll like it if you follow the APA style! MarineBluePsy, Bmay80, Ccceeewww97 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
