I am about to graduate from a well-know SLP undergraduate program. I applied to 5 graduate programs all over the country and haven't gotten into 3 and am waiting to hear back on 2. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what exactly I can do with my BS- what jobs are applicable to me. Any suggestions? I've been putting myself out there already for research institute positions, but I don't know how hopeful I should be. Thanks!

SLP-M.S. in Saint Louis, Missouri

You need your M.S. in order to really use your B.S. in speech-language pathology. I just got my M.S. and I am intering my CF year. I know with your B.S. you can be an assistant to a SLP or even have your own caseload with supervision from an SLP for a year or two, but then you have to start earning your M.S. So you can't do that job forever, ASHA says so....

I graduated from Fontbonne but other Colleges around me that have a SLP graduate program are st. Louis university (SLU) and SIU-Edwardsville in Illinois. from what I've heard SIUE is fairly easy to get into at least easier than SLU and Fontbonne so you may want to give them a try. Best of luck.

You can try Nova in Florida. Most people I know that have applied have gotten in. You need a 3.0 and you do not have to take the GRE.

You can try Nova in Florida. They have an online program and the only requirement is that you go to FL for 2 weeks and you must have a 3.0 and you are not required to take the GRE. Go check them out.
