Question

Posted (edited)

Hi everyone!

Like most of you, I have recently finished applications for SLP Master's Programs and am minorly (majorly) freaking out! I don't have many friends who are in SLP grad school, so I'm pretty much in the dark about what my chances of acceptance are. I was hoping to post my stats and get some feedback from you all. :) My BA is in Linguistics from UCSD, and my Post-Bacc is in Communication Disorders from CSUSM. I have applied to CSUSM, CBU, SJSU, CSULA, CSUF, Chapman University and the University of Redlands. Also, I am 22 years old (Don't know if that is relevant!)

Cumulative GPA:3.65

Major GPA; 3.79

VR: 160

QR: 146

AW: 4.5

Experience: I completed a six month internship with a school-based SLP, and have been working as a Registered Behavior Technician with non-verbal children with Autism since May 2016. 

I would appreciate any and all feedback! Please be brutally honest :)

Well, if you're looking for critiques, I would say that your quantitative score is low, but I don't know how important that is for your program (I think it is important?). Apart from that, I would say your chances are somewhere between 0 and 100%. It's really hard to say, because programs are really selective and subjective and you just never really know what they are looking for in a specific year. Graduate school applications are so strange, because it isn't really like the undergraduate process where you can figure out their acceptance patterns and place your probability. A representative from a program I went to told me that writing samples and letters of recommendation are the most important, which is good to know, but that's only from one person's perspective in one field in one school, you know? Your experience seems like a good leg up and it's certainly noble and needed work, but hard to say if that's what will be impressing the adcoms this year. Good luck to you!
