Hi!
I'm Michael.
I help people get into graduate school for speech-language pathology by demystifying the admissions process and providing advice to improve applications.
I’ve been researching and writing about SLP grad school admissions since 2015. We need bright and talented people like you in our field, and I’m not going to let the difficult application process drive them away.
This site and my book SLP To Be are based on research and interviews with experts, as well as my own experience. Before SLP, I coached high school students on college admissions, managed programs at the Institute of International Education, and I still serve on the selection committee for Fulbright-Garcia Robles grants.

Based on research, experience, and interviews with experts, this guide will help you successfully navigate the process of getting into graduate school for SLP.
