I don’t know about each school but the schools in my state (California) have their minimum requirements on their website. Also, it helps to do a tour of the schools and speak to someone, even the administrative assistant, to get an idea of exactly what they look for. One of the private universities I visited was adamant on getting superb letters of rec from academic sources, GPA in the prerequisite courses to be above 3.7, and some volunteering/observation. Most schools require GRE scores to be above 900 but some schools don’t require GREs at all. They just want to make sure the students that enter their school will do well. I’m actually researching schools now for the masters program in Communicative Disorders and keep hearing horror stories of how difficult it is to get in as each school has a very limited number of students they can admit. Good luck to your daughter. She sounds like a great candidate and have her keep up the volunteering/observation.
