Advice for getting into grad school
I just now am applying to grad programs and its my second cycle now. I graduated 4 years ago with my bachelor’s in speech- language hearing sciences and have been working as an SLPA for 3 years. I am slowly losing hope of getting into a program and worry its because my GPA isn’t the best.
I absolutely love the field and what I do but would enjoy having independence and being able to do assessments. Also having a pay raise would be nice because I feel like I have gained a lot of experience in a variety of clinical settings.
I applied last year for 6 schools and didn’t get into any. This year 2025-2026 cycle applied to only 5 and have not heard back.
I know this field has since gained a lot of popularity and I feel this may be the reason with a lot more applications coming in. Any advice would be appreciated! :) or if anyone has branched off into different fields?
