Open houses

[soontobeslp2018]

Hi everyone, I’m a current grad student who will be speaking during a Q&A for prospective students. Regardless of the program, for those applying to programs what kinds of questions do you guys have. Related to classes and clinic, grad school life, etc. I just want to see what kinds of questions you guys have so I can have some beneficial answers

Here are some questions I plan on asking at my upcoming open houses/accepted students day:

1. Where do students do clinical placements? Does the program have connections to hospital or rehab facility placements? What populations do you usually see at the in-house clinic?

2. Can you get paid to do research? How competitive is it to work in a lab? How many hours per week do people typical work in the lab?

3. Are there scholarships that can be earned during grad school? (ex. for having high grades)

4. What is a schedule for a typical student like? Do students socialize outside of school? 

5. What does this program have that others do not? (Basically why is this program worth the money) 

6. What do you wish you had known before starting grad school? How can I best spend my summer to prepare for the program?

Love the list above, the only other thing I would add to this list is: Where are your students getting jobs after graduation? Kind of goes along with the person's first one above.
