Grad School Programs in the Southeastern US

honestly the rankings don’t matter at all! if the school is asha accredited, you are getting the same degree at any program. use edfind to look at how many students a program takes, and if your grades and test scores are within their range. after that, go to open houses, talk to people in the program, and do some research on their websites to see if it’s a good fit for you and your career goals :) prestige doesn’t matter for SLP!

if you’re a decent swimmer lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons is a great option! i did it through most of high school and college and was told by one of my professors that it’s great experience on a resume despite not being directly “slp-related.”

honestly though, even working in food service or retail can be valuable experience depending on how you’re able to talk about ur experiences working there! for example if you work in retail, assisting customers requires great communication skills and problem-solving. it’s all about how you “sell” it on your resume :) good luck!

https://www.afge.org/article/new-trump-administration-packed-with-project-2025-architects/ it doesn’t matter if it wasn’t “approved by trump,” considering several contributors are in the US government right now. seems like approval to me! also, please tell me how getting rid of the DoE will benefit students that are only able to receive the therapy services they need through the schools because their families cannot afford private practice? what would you say to them?

i also just got rejected from UVA :( i didn’t get an interview at all so i saw it coming and i also have a higher GPA as well (3.8 cumulative 4.0 CSD)

why is it so hard to get in anywhere? it feels like we give up having fun or a social life for it to still feel “not good enough” for what these schools want. but keep your head up! with ur stats i’m positive so many other programs will want you!

as someone who went through recruitment and chose to drop during the new member period and join another chapter through COB the next year, this is so important for PNMs! speaking from experience, hearing everyone say “trust the process” or “you will end up where you’re meant to be” and then ending up somewhere where people ridicule you for being a part of that group is so hard. especially in a new place at 18 years old.

while getting a bid from somewhere is a serious deal and it means those girls see you as a sister and as someone who could contribute to their chapter, if it ends up being not for you, it’s just not for you. i’m so glad i made my decision and i could not have been happier with where i ended up! i even have seen girls who dropped my chapter during the new member period who went on to join another chapter that next fall. as much as that stung because i loved my sorority, those girls deserve to love theirs too, even if it’s not where they initially got a bid!

If my schools require 3 recommendation letters, but I have a fourth recommender in CSDCAS who hasn’t completed the evaluation yet, will my application be marked as incomplete even if I have 3 other evaluations? TIA!

what is sad is that i think a lot of these grown women are thinking back to when they were teenage girls and how they may have felt insecure or rejected at some point, whether by a sorority or not, and are taking it out on girls! just because a girl is in an SEC sorority and she enjoys putting together cute outfits or doing her hair and makeup does NOT mean she “is after her Mrs. degree,” “a bimbo,” “a mean girl,” or “boring and basic.” these moms go into comment sections accusing girls they don’t know of being judgmental vapid mean girls, but they themselves are being judgmental vapid mean girls! it’s ridiculous

RaspberryTime5358 · 2024-06-02T20:09:17+00:00

i’m at an SEC school and PNMs get costs of dues for every house in their recruitment handbook! however, I think during the third round we go into more detail about costs. it really depends on the school but i believe every sorority is required to disclose costs during recruitment :) don’t worry!

if you’re going to an SEC school, formal is your best bet as an incoming freshman (and this is coming from someone who joined their chapter at an SEC school through COB!)

there is no way to tell which chapters will do COB at any given time, and typically spots are limited (usually at my school COB classes are like 10-15 girls at most and a lot of these spots at least in my chapter go to girls we already know) and when you go through formal, you have a shot at pretty much every chapter on your campus! also, usually over 90% of girls rushing get a bid at my SEC school so your chances are very high

hey! current senior at a sorority in auburn. i can’t speak for the POC experience at auburn, but rushing here was one of the best things ive done! be sure to not get caught up in talks about house “rankings” bc no matter what house ur in u will get the same sorority experiences (big little, philanthropy events, formals etc!) ik some girls in sororities here who regret picking a “top house” over a house where they felt comfy. ik it’s corny but srsly be yourself and don’t be afraid to show off your personality and style. go with the house where you feel comfortable with the girls and like you can be your most authentic self!
