GPA Question

[AMH]

Hello all!

 

I am a newbie to this site, and I'm SO glad I found all of you! From what I can tell so far, everyone is so helpful and supportive!  Thanks in advance for your insight.

 

I have one question.. is the GPA reported in ASHA's EdFind based on the overall GPA of applicants/admitted students or their major GPA?  Right now my overall GPA is kind of sad at 3.3 but my major GPA is about 3.7, so I just want to know where I stand with the schools and their stats!

Thank you!!

I believe it's overall GPA. Some schools accept students without a CSD major.

Agreed, though don't forget they also look at your major GPA!

Plus, that's just the "average" overall GPA... so some students get in with GPAs below that, although I'm sure they weigh the CSD gpa more heavily, so no worries. If you have certain schools in mind check their website too, as ASHA isn't always uptodate with that... sometimes their websites aren't either, so its even better to go the top of this page and click on "results search" and then type in your school and SLP  (ex. UCLA SLP   or Temple SLP) tog et recent results from last years application crowd to give you an idea of who got in and who didn't. Some post their GPA in the comments section, or under the column where it says if that person was accepted/rejected there is sometimes a red diamond--- hover over it and it will tell you their GPS and GRE scores. That will give you a better understanding of those accepted into that school... (Take it with a grain of salt though, as they don't mention their extracurriculars, and so some with 3.5 GPA and slightly above average GREs got into a school but then a person with 3.8 and average GRE didn't... so we don't know the deciding factors there)
