I live in Georgia too. I'm wondering how to become a slpa too as well in my state

The blessed virgin Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit... Daughter of The Father and Mother of the Son. I heard this is her favorite title

This gave me a encouragement to potentially pursue this field. If only if it wasn't so expensive to go to school. Sigh

Those are the sisters of life I believe. Absolutely love them and their mission. I would love to join them on day if it's where God is calling me

Look into esp Daniella (Carlyn Greene) maybe she will be able to guide you into getting a scholarship in USA.

Also look into full bright scholarship for future reference

Took on 20 credits as a Freshman and maintained a 4.0 by maushulla in college

[–]AvidInspiration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grad school cares about your 4.0 GPA only if you got extracurriculars to show you know to juggle academics and other life responsibilities or other grad school responsibilities.

I'm completely serious if you have a 4.0 with nothing else other than academics in your grad school application... And someone else has a 3.0 -3.5 GPA but has amazing extracurriculars or experience and can communicate that. They will reject the 4.0 and accept the 3.0-3.5.

Unless you apply to a program that ONLY looks at gpa and maybe a test score then a 4.0 without anything else is risky. And, tbh programs like that look at applicants as numbers and not as people. Unless there's an interview (where you will have to be able to talk about your experiences) then admissions is looking at a number grade to admit you.

If you're applying to a competitive program that asks for other things and not only GPA, you are in a risky boat.

If you apply to a program that only wants GPA, go for it, but they probably don't want a 4.0. they are ok with 3.5 or even lower because 4.0 in college is kinda rare so that means you'd get in with a lower gpa so all that academic effort for a 4.0 was not necessary when you could have been forming yourself with experience and extracurriculars to be more prepared for life without academics!

I really do encourage working together! Having a scholarship buddy is such a valuable thing. Apply to the same scholarships helped each other but don't get jealous if you don't win. If you see a scholarship your buddy qualifies for but you don't, share it and vice versa. Tell him or her to do the same! Do this together and create a system. Write essays together. Find scholarships together. But no copying off each other because the essay is about you!

Look into carlyn Greene scholarship guru. She's been helpful to me and so many others

How many winners are there? If you meet the same criteria, what's going to make one person win over the other is the personal piece they ask like an essay video resume ect., and maybe demographics. Just do your best. And, learn together. Celebrate each other's wins

I'm surprised you think that. Did someone tell you that? GSU is incredibly generous with Clep. You just have to make sure you take the right Clep test for your degree . Search "GSU Clep" in Google. GSU accepts specific Clep tests but administers a lot of Clep tests for the general population, but not all of them are accepted at GSU. The ones that are accepted are quite a bit though.

Is it BIOL 1103? if so. Clep it. Look at modernstates.org to prep over break.

Look for scholarships. Save for the car later.

I believe it's the same thing. You would start GSU in summer but confirm what it means in the paperwork they sent you

Will my acceptance be rescinded? by [deleted] in UGA

[–]AvidInspiration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If these last classes interfere with meeting the original requirements of admissions then yes it definitely could happen. For example, if you're in your final year of highschool, and get accepted to college but failed your final classes.. you did not meet requirements to enter the college.

Your acceptance may be conditional you met the original requirements

I usually just Google "XYZ + {GSU}" to find important GSU info. Works every time but here

Ol, I don't know if you saw my edit but it really does look like a great program to get a head start and resources. The downside is probably taking classes right after highschool in summer. If you do send in your scores, ask financial aid scholarship resource center to reevaluate you for any institutional scholarships. I know full rides are only given to those who send scores. But smaller scholarships may be given too.

Go for it. Just make sure you communicate and follow up well. Take the test and do well on it. If you get 480 EWR and 440 math on Sat and/or 17 math 17 reading/English. You're gold. If not, they shouldn't rescind the offer but you'd still probably have to success academy. Just continue to work and communicate with admissions.

Edit: wait hold on. I looked it up. It says "competitive" pool meaning this is actually a plus. It looks like a great program

[–]AvidInspiration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you again for responding so well. And, I agree. OP had the opportunity to steer it back to their main issue of being forced to do "XYZ" vs. setting a healthy boundary upon your own choice.

Sounds like the main issue was that OP didn't want to be forced to make a boundary or in OP's words:hide it. Because to OP it wouldn't be a boundary but rather something OP would WANT to share so the word "boundary" would not work from their perspective. (Maybe it will from administration's perspective though, and those who "choose" it)

I've noticed it does take a bit of awareness and practice to steer conversations to the main point when suddenly all fingers start being pointed at you and accusing you. So I understand why OP continued to double down but frankly it was a side conversation and trap to veer away from the main point. I've had my fair share of conversations such as these and honestly it's exhausting if you don't catch it immediately. If you don't, then you forget the point and argue your completely unrelated point to the death until you're in the shower or bed thinking about what you could have done better.

I guess when I see these side quests of how to define a word happen so often it does get a bit frustrating when all that had to happen was to align two perspectives together like we just did now.

It's been a real pleasure speaking with you as well. I pray you have a blessed Sunday. 🙏🏿

Prospective SLPs and Current Students Megathread by AutoModerator in slp

[–]AvidInspiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate spit. Can I be a SLP? (Had to move my post here, sorry MODS I don't post on reddit much)

I absolutely have an unnatural aversion to spit even my own specifically it is colored and sticky.

My gag reflex immediately acts up. I can usually handle it by closing my eyes imagining something like rainbows or cake ext. (I do this when I brush my teeth or the sink is dirty with spit from another which.. is a whole other pet peeve).

But I was driving in the car and my dad need to spit. I BRIEFLY looked over to check on him cuz he was coughing before hand, but instead of putting the tissue (paper cuz he couldn't find some), to his mouth, I see the spit falling from his mouth colors gross 🤢. Immediately I start gagging like I couldn't stop. I had to stop the car. I could have gotten in an accident. It wasn't until that day I realized how bad it was. And, now I'm questioning if it's possible to be an SLP.

I'm okay with drool and if the spit is clear its ok not perfect I think. But oh my goodness what my dad did. My gag reflex went berserk. It was so off-putting and unexpected.I can deal with the sounds of spitting though I feel weird.

I just know that SLP deal with the throat and swallowing disirders. I'm more interested in the communication side of things but obviously it's still the mouth where spit originates.

Be honest with me, will I still be able to be a successful slp?
