What are my chances?

Recommended Posts

I've read through a lot of threads here but I haven't really found anyone that seemed like me that got in somewhere. I'm really really terrified I just wasted 4 years of my life in undergrad pursuing a degree that I can't do anything with. My GPA after this semester will probably be in the 3.19-3.25 or higher range. I think 3.33 is as high as I can get. Taking the GRE in a month. My practice test scores are rough right now (145 range for both) but I think I can get those up easily in a month. I do research with a PhD student at a school studying children with learning disabilities and reading comprehension intervention. I teach a college level course for freshman students who are Speech & Hearing majors about academic success. But I don't have any clinical hours/experience/observation technically. Does that matter? I have have a second concurrent degree in Family & Human Development. I have hardcore anxiety about asking for LORs because I don't have a close bond with any professors. HELP anything is appreciated or link me to another forum where I can get more info. Sorry this is long and very "me" focussed but just haven't had anyone reliable to ask.

If I were you, I would keep studying for your gre and then try to gain more experience volunteering somewhere so you have more to write about in your personal statement/talk about in interviews. You can use your second degree to help find opportunities I would think because you have a lot of knowledge! 

Let me know if I can help in any way, you can do this! :)

You ranges for gpa and gre are almost identical to mine! Feel free to message me but like others have said I think that you need to work your strengths. Talk about that research experience in your letter of intent and experience. There is more to a future clinician than grades :)
