AspiringSLP35 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I am looking through ASHAs stats for grad programs and its depressing!! Majority of the schools are for students with high GPAs and those with low GPAs might not get it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysaFalcon Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Personally I didn't have the "perfect" high gpa. My cumulative gpa from undergrad was a 3.34. It took me three application cycles to get into grad school but I got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avschilling Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Not always! I did not have a "high" GPA I had 3.2! BUT I did have over a 300 on the GRE! Once has to be able to out weight the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEIM Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 We'll see. My first GPA is crap...but my 2nd BA in COMD is much higher. I also have the same fears that my cGPA will basically disqualify me but I'm going to give it a shot anyway! AspiringSLP35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurespeechpath1 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Not necessarily! Yes they look at numerical first but they look at personal statement and experiences second so if you have a GPA an GRE that aren't "perfect" but solid experiences and a golden personal statement it'd help a lot AspiringSLP35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slptobe! Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Definitely not! I didn't have a great gpa and got in! I've also met several people in my program that have said the same, so don't give up! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImHis Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 You have to find the school that values you. Go visit and speak with the professors/directors. I had a 2.7 overall and 4.0 in CSD courses and got in. There is a school for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
