Hey everyone!
We had 3 great schools attend our grad school panel! We definitely learned a lot about each program. Read about them and see if any interest you! :)
UT – Austin

• Study a lot more, more reading
• Graduate courses – 1 or 2 big projects/papers instead of lots of homework and busy work
• Balancing is hardest (work, clinic)
• App process – standout of crowd, volunteer
o Statement of purpose – give yourself a deadline, let others read it, do not use words: passionate/passion,
o Make it easy for people that are writing letters of rec.
Get everything to them at once
• GRE – don’t look at writing sample
• SLP – 1st year – more concentration on classes
o 2nd year – more time working with clients
• Aud – 1st year is 15 hours of clinic a week seeing patients, 12 hours of classes each semester
