Speech Pathology

<p>Hi I'm a sophomore at a FL university majoring in Communication Science and Disorders, hoping to one day be a speech pathologist.</p>

<p>I think I posted in the wrong thread, so I apologize, I just need some advice. BADLY!</p>

<p>Here's what I've done so far:
Current GPA: 3.67
Volunteer 40+ hours: fed homeless, worked at a student run Pantry, played with disabled children, and a variety of activities
8 hours: volunteered at a alcohol free student ran event
Preschool: 18+ hours: played, watched, and assisted in caring for 3-4 year old children in a school setting.
Member of Pi Eta Sigma: Honor Society</p>

<p>Over the Christmas Break I have contacted a Rehab center in a hospital that I plan to observe volunteer at, aiming to get 25+ hours and I also have the opportunity to observe at a Nursing home during the break as well.</p>

<p>In the Spring I plan on doing research with a professor, in which I will be grading her results and assisting.</p>

<p>What advice can you give me to be a more competitive applicant?? If you are currently aspiring to be a speech pathologist or are one what did or are doing to help stand out. I feel like I'm not doing enough.</p>

<p>Definitely do research, that can only help you. You’re right, you aren’t really standing out. What really inspires you, makes you passionate? Do that, whatever that is. I’m in an SLP grad program right now, feel free to pm me with any questions.</p>
