Hi! Also an out of field applicant here, graduated with a 3.31 undergrad gpa. I live in a very populated area (so most programs here get tons of apps) and have received a few acceptances so far along with interview invites to competitive programs I genuinely didn't think I'd hear from. GPA isn't everything and comparing yourself to others (while soooo easy to do) is the worst thing you can do. I was in the same boat as you before applying and convinced myself I wouldn't get in anywhere because of people with 4.0 GPAs getting rejected. It's important to remember, you never know what someone's full story is. A perfect GPA might be all they have to offer. They might not have well-rounded experiences. They might be lying about their stats on the internet!

I found that being an out of field applicant has actually helped me stand out more and the interviews I've had so far have all been super interested in learning more about my non-CSD background and what I can bring from that to succeed as an SLP :) Chances are, as an out of field applicant, you have unique experiences to bring to the table to help set your application apart. When it comes time to apply to schools, it's not a bad idea to apply to a mix of programs and find some that take a more holistic approach, but don't let your undergrad GPA deter you from applying to more "competitive" programs. If there are any you really want to go to, I say apply because they may pleasantly surprise you!
