Need honest opinion on chances of getting into grad school

[grodreeguez]

So, I have a lower GPA within the major (3.43 to be exact), an overall 3.1 from my last 60 units, and a cumulative of 3.0. I didn't do so well in community college but over the years and once I transferred my grades have been steadily increasing. But I know that my GPA will hurt me among other applicants. However, I'm bilingual (English and Spanish) and know some ASL. I've also been working as an special education aide in my hometown school district for about 2 years now and have gotten to shadow SLPs. I have some volunteer work but I'm not sure it's enough. I still haven't taken the GRE and I'm not applying until later this fall. 

Do I have any chance of getting into grad school? Or should I not even bother applying?

Your GPA is low, but being bilingual is a huge asset and can really help you. Make sure to emphasize that in your SOP, study hard for the GRE, and get some killer LORs. Be willing to relocate or attend online. Look for new programs that people might not have heard of and therefore will have fewer applicants.

There are tons of other posts on here from people in your situation. Many of them don't get in on the first try, but there are also lots of success stories out there.
