First off let me just say thank you to all those who come here with the will to answer questions. Without you this place would not exist.
Anyways, I am soon to graduate college with a BSc. in Biology. My GPA for the last 70 units has been 3.5 and with a cumulative of 3.2 (upward trend as last 40 units i've had a 3.8). After reviewing my choices i've decided to pursue audiology as i enjoy patient interaction, especially with kids. I do not have any audiology classes but i've taken lots of biology, math, English, chemistry and other subjects required for my degree. With that said, i am yet to take the GRE which i plan on taking sometime 2012 leaving me ample time to prepare. Do you guys believe i am a competitive candidate for some top audiology programs? And should i postpone my graduation date to knockout some prerequisites?
I am also considering Au.D/Ph.D since i have nearly two years of experience in a immunology and stem cell laboratory with excellent recommendation letters. How's the job-search like for a audiologist that holds dual-degrees?
Thanks
