DOUBLE MAJOR UNDERGRAD SLP HELP!!

[smartypants14]

Currently I have a 3.4 Campus GPA. I have three semesters (i wanted two but im trying to raise my gpa so im staying an extra one) and i want to bring it up to a 3.7! idk what my grades are gonna be like this semester. I want to apply to the SLP programs in california at the CSU's. I have work experience with autistic children and im a double major (psych,SLP) and i have plenty of research experience. What ca n i do to boost my chances and what are they? Any information on any of the master programs would be awesome!! im currently looking at SJSU,CSUN,CSULB,and Fresno.

Thanks!.

-Make sure to build a relationship with your SLP teachers in the next few months so you can rack up several letters of recommendation. It would also be key to get a letter of recommendation from a professor who is familiar with your research experience.

-Write a killer personal statement. I'm currently applying and having an extremely hard time with this. Make sure you brainstorm what you would write about well before the deadline!

-Keep working on your GPA. A GPA of 3.6/3.7 tends to be average for this field, so try to bring it up as much as possible.

-GRE. Study for the GRE. I studied for about three months and my score skyrocketed. Take a Kaplan course if you need something more structured--but definitely spend a summer preparing for the exam to reach your maximum score.

Good luck!
