There is still hope after denials!

Well, can't say I'm surprised that I got denied into grad schools this time around. It seemed almost impossible to try and compile an outstanding CDCAS application when I already had so much going on with my schoolwork in undergrad. Anyways, for all the people like myself who are feeling down, just wanted to put it out there that Karen George at Chicago Speech Therapy is hiring for people like us! I just interviewed and was BLOWN AWAY. I honestly would've never expected this opportunity to exist, especially because on their posting on indeed it was for an SLPA and I thought for sure I didn't have a chance without licensure. They do pediatric in-home therapy, but have three 'day' programs where kids come in and do language enrichment stuff. Super cool opportunity! Just thought I would share because it gave me hope and could really improve my odds for acceptance next year!

Hey there! I see in your post that you interviewed with Chicago Speech Therapy! I was wondering if you could share more about your experience or if you have heard anything more back from them?

 

Thank you!!

I have been seeing more and more about Chicago Speech Therapy and it sounds fantastic! Wish I would have known after my first round of rejections (or before!). You are absolutely right though, there is hope. I will say that applyong after graduation vs during your senior year, are two entirely different experiences! 

Keep your chins up if you do not get in this year. One look at the results page and you will see that there are soooo many great candidates out there getting rejections too. Don't take it personal, just move forward and work to improve yourself as a candidate :-)
