4. Science Topic: Grad school and the application process  

   • Personal statements  

   • Resume 

     • 1-2 pages – 1 recommended 

     •  Craft in a way that they are getting info they won't get somewhere else  

       • Each piece needs relevant info 

     • Skills:  

       • Think about jobs 

       • Volunteer opportunities (shadowing, organizations, NSSLHA) - highlight leadership roles  

   • References/ letter writers—who?   

     • Most require 3 reference letters 

     • At least 2 need to be from faculty – not necessarily from major  

     • Third letter writer: can be from internship, need to know what its like to be in grad school and familiar with our field  

     • Ask letter writers by mid October  

   • Funding  

     • Research and teaching opportunities  

   • Timeline  

     • Apply fall before you are attending 

     • Most apps due Dec/Jan - check deadline 

     • Take GRE? 

     • Prepare resume/CV 

   • Medical vs. School  

     • Will be trained to go into both 

     • Some programs lean towards one side  

   • Important things to look for for a school  

     • Some programs do course work first, then clinical practicum. Others do course work and practicum together  

     • Accreditation  

     • Are there opportunities to develop in areas that you want? 

     • General experiences you liked in undergrad and how those align with a grad program  

   • Masters v. PhD 

     • Masters: 

       • 5-6 semesters 

       • Course work, clinical practicum  

       • Accept 30-40 students a year  

     • PhD:  

       • Research focused 

   • How does certification/licensing work? Can move across states?  

     • Certification 

       • Graduate 

       • Complete and pass praxis 

       • Clinical fellowship 

     • Licensing 

       • Specific state 

       • If you are licensed in one state and have ASHA creditation that is normally good enough to be licensed in another state  

       • Gets difficult in schools – sometimes additional training (student teaching)
