JIH Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am a senior and currently in the process of applying to speech-lanaguage patholgoy graduate schools. I have an overall GPA of a 3.98 and a mjor GPA of a 3.99. I am super worried because my GRE scores aren't great, I got a 155 on verbal, a 145 on quantitative, and a 4.0 on writing. I studied for months and even took a class. I am just not good at standardized tests. I worked as a writing tutor and a speech science tutor, a peer mentor for sturggling students, and I was a classroom assistant for an English class for a summer. I was a student coordinator for an aphasia group therapy program, which was a great exerpeince. This semester I recieved an opportunity to work one on one with an adult with apahsia and help them author a book which has been an amazing expereince.This is a program for 2nd year grad students but I was offered a spot because they needed another person. I am also tutroing ESL and am going to be a TA for an ESL class in a few weeks. I am in a sorority, president of my honor society, and a memeber of NSSLHA and the linguistics club. I am applying to 7 schools, all on the east coast which I know is very competetive. I am very nervous that I am not going to get in because of my quantitative GRE score. I tried so hard on it and I am going to be devestated if that keeps me out. Has anyone gotten in with a quant score around a 145??? Thank you!!!

HopefulFutureSLP2016 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Honestly, you're stats are quite impressive and much better than mine. Not to mention your EC's are awesome. From one sorority woman to another, I wish you the best of luck! If you don't get in anywhere, I honestly would be shocked. My stats are very low so therefore I'm applying to places that had acceptance stats similar to mine that I found through ASHA's edfind. (my GRE scores are trash compared to yours..I didn't take a class for them but I am also very bad at standardized tests) Where are you applying?
