- Notes
- This is my first acceptance and I cried tears of joy! However, I need to make a decision by March 15th with a non-refundable $1000 deposit and have not yet heard back from the other two schools I applied to. This is the highest rated program I applied to, but also the most expensive program by quite a bit, and I have to be considerate of my family needs when making this decision. Fingers crossed that the other schools send out decisions soon! For those who may be wondering, I had strong GPA in my last two years, with a rocky past (was re-admitted via fresh start 8 years after starting my bachelor's degree.) I repeated some key courses and boosted my grades. I took two graduate level courses as an undergraduate and earned an A in each. I participated in independent studies for additional experience, and worked part-time jobs in related fields (ABA, substitute paraprofessional.) I have worked for the past two and a half years as a SLPA. I spent a lot of time on my essays and obtained strong letters of recommendation. It can be done! I was wait listed, but not accepted to any programs during my first application round. Don't give up on your dream! Best of luck to those still waiting!
