Toya Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi! I was accepted to NAU and I am so excited! It's my first acceptance and honestly, I didn't think I would get in due to my GPA and GRE score. Thank goodness they look at other areas as well. Has anyone else been accepted? If so, where are you from? I am from CA and have been an SLPA for almost three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_liza_ann Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Congrats! I applied to NAU too, but for the Full-Time Track. Do you mind sharing what your GPA and GRE scores were? My stats are low and "not competitive" (less than 3.5 and below 300/gre) so I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get accepted anywhere this cycle ?

I read so many things from individuals getting in with a low GRE/GPA score and it gave me hope. I thought if they can do it, so can I. With that being said, my terrible scores are CumGpa 2.8, 3.5 in major. My GRE is less than 290! My SOI talked about all the experience I had and how I worked two jobs during my COMD courses (sort of explained that I worked over 45 hours a week and still had a 3.5). Prior to being an SLPA, I worked as a teacher's aid with deaf children for 5+ years. I am also fluent in ASL and had amazing LORs. miss_liza_ann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard back from NAU for the full-time track and was accepted with similar stats as you. My undergrad GPA was a cumulative 3.1 but I did have a 305 combined GRE score. I think that they weigh heavy on the personal statement and letters of recommendation, instead of solely looking at GPA/GRE. miss_liza_ann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendallSLPA Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hi! I heard from them a week ago and was also accepted to the summers track as well ? I have been an SLPA for 1 year now. I’m very excited to start the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
