This month I had the opportunity to catch up with last year's NSSLHA Vice President, Molly Ramassini! She's here to answer some questions about SLP grad school and what it's like to be a Seminole. Name: Molly Ramassini School: Florida State University Program: Master of Science in Communication Science & Disorders Year: 1st year Clinical Interests: Working with children with autism (specifically early intervention), and possibly fluency disorders. But I'm open to other options of course! What do you enjoy most about FSU’s program? My favorite part is the faculty. The faculty is absolutely AMAZING in how much faith they have in your clinical capabilities, even when you're doubting yourself. I also like their format— you take all of your core classes your first year and do all of your clinical rotations within the FSU clinic your first year, and then your second year is all of your electives and your community placements. Also, EVERYONE in my cohort receives some type of funding. Most people either have a graduate assistant position, or are on a grant. I am on the ASSET grant, which is geared towards my interests in Autism and early intervention. The other grant is TIES, which has a focus on multi-cultural issues and children with severe disabilities. What clinical experiences does FSU have to offer? The first year consists of working within the FSU clinic. There are four teams you could be placed on: CHILD (children under the age of 18), LISTEN (children with hearing impairments), ACE (adults with cognitive deficits), and SPEECH (adults with speech disorders, such as fluency or literacy). After you do either 2 or 3 of these teams (your choice), you're placed out into the community with one semester in the schools and one semester in a medical setting. For this first semester, I am on the CHILD team with 2 clients, and I am also a part of a Social Skills group that is group therapy with adults with social skill deficits. How prepared did you feel going into grad school? I felt like I learned a lot during my undergrad experience, but I also felt like I didn't retain a lot of that information. However, the curriculum here does a good job at overviewing all of the academics covered in undergrad. As for the workload, it is a lot more in grad school, and it’s a big adjustment I'm having to make! How do you feel your grades, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, resume, etc. affected you during the application process? I feel like what FSU mostly looked at were my experiences and personal statement. The other aspects probably helped somewhat, but I think the first two weighed the most heavily on their decision. Any tips for the application process? Apply to schools that you can realistically see yourself going to. Also, follow the method of applying to 1-2 reach schools, 1-2 safety schools, and 2-3 schools that could go either way. And don't focus too much on a schools ranking - schools are mostly ranked on their research, so be aware of that. When choosing which schools to apply to, make sure you can see yourself living in that place and if that school has anything related to what you want to focus in (if you don't know what you want to focus in, that’s ok too!!). What do you wear to class and clinic? To class you can wear whatever you want!! However, for clinic, you have to wear business casual - nice shirt, slacks, khakis, no flip flops, etc. The biggest thing that they made us aware of is to make sure your shirt isn't revealing if you're playing on the floor with a child. What’s life like in Tallahassee? Besides the ugly garnet and gold colors I see everywhere (Go Gata!), Tallahassee is actually really fun! It’s a lot like Gainesville and there are a lot of fun things to do on the weekends—farmers markets, running trails, and a fun night life (yes, you still have time to go out...sometimes). Any last-minute advice? Don’t stress too much about your GRE scores! There are other aspects of your application that can help you if that isn't your strongpoint. Also, have fun your senior year and don't stress too much about applications! Enjoy undergrad while you can! If you have any suggestions for next month's grad school spotlight or any questions you want me to start asking, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks!
