Do i have a chance to get into grad programs??

[ajj294]

I am from NY and I am currently in the process of applying to speech graduate programs and was wondering if anyone on here or someone they know has gotten into slp grad programs with my type of profile or something similar: 3.4 cumulative gpa, 3.6 major gpa, 145 Verbal 145 Quant 3.5 Writing (GRE), I have experience being a special ed paraprofessional in lifeskills classrooms, experience working as a clerical worker at a speech-lang. pathology practice (also observed sessions alongside clinicians at practice), and also have experience being an activity coordinator at a summer camp working with children diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. If someone could give me some insight I would really appreciate it!

Definitely. I've been out of college for a few years now and have been working as an SLPA for 2, but got into 2 grad programs with a 3.1 GPA and worse Quant GRE scores. That's not to say you'll get into every school you apply to (hardly anyone does), but I am sure you will get in somewhere. I applied to 15 schools, got into 1 expensive private school and 1 cheaper state school. I chose the cheaper option. Make sure to use ASHA Edfind and each school's specific website to find out which ones accept students with stats like yours. Also, use your work/ volunteer experiences in your statements of purpose as much as you can. 

If you have any other questions i'd be more than happy to answer. Good luck!
