"I am very proud of the achievements I earned during my undergrad. The courses I completed gave me incredible knowledge and good habits that l will bring to Boston University's SLP program. My best courses included Language Acquisition and Clinical Phonetics, and the specialization that interests me most is Tracheostomy and Ventilator Dependence. As far as areas of improvement, I can better my time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study habits suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement in my grades and overall preparedness."
