<p>My daughter plans to get her MS in SLP. She is very worried because she did not do that well on her first attemp at the GRE. Current info on her:</p>
<p>Attending state university with current GPA of 3.75
Rising senior
Undergrad Major: Psychology
Undergrad Minor: Communication Disorders (university does not offer major in this or SLP)
GRE unofficial score: 940
Related Extracurriculars:
- volunteered summer at Center for disabled children (shadowed a therapist)
- currently has a job working with autistic children at various private homes
- currently assisting professor with research
Misc info:
- most of her pre-college (high school) education was at american schools in other countries (Saudi Arabia, China, Ireland)
- Began college with major in Journalism but found out about SLP from boyfriends mother who is a SLP and became passionate about it. Her last two semester grades have been all A's.
- Her current college offers an MS in SLP but is very selective. They only have 35 slots available per year.</p>
<p>Can anyone share typical GRE/ GPA/ etc. requirements at various schools offering MS in SLP? I have found some information on the internet but would like more.</p>
<p>Update: my daughter is now taking the MLIC GRE online prep course.</p>
<p>Would still like a response on original post if anyone can share.</p>
<p>I don’t know about each school but the schools in my state (California) have their minimum requirements on their website. Also, it helps to do a tour of the schools and speak to someone, even the administrative assistant, to get an idea of exactly what they look for. One of the private universities I visited was adamant on getting superb letters of rec from academic sources, GPA in the prerequisite courses to be above 3.7, and some volunteering/observation. Most schools require GRE scores to be above 900 but some schools don’t require GREs at all. They just want to make sure the students that enter their school will do well. I’m actually researching schools now for the masters program in Communicative Disorders and keep hearing horror stories of how difficult it is to get in as each school has a very limited number of students they can admit. Good luck to your daughter. She sounds like a great candidate and have her keep up the volunteering/observation.</p>
<p>I got into Texas Tech and Eastern New Mexico with no GRE. I bet there are schools in Cali that dont require them either.</p>
<p>Second update… my daughter retook the GRE and got an equivalent of a 1250.
Verbal Reasoning - 161
