I have thoroughly researched the Speech-Language Pathology graduate degree
program and I believe that I would be a great fit for your program.
Dear Dr. Boult:
My name is Courtney Leehy and I am about to graduate the pre-professional speech-
language pathology program. I have also been your student for the past few years and
know firsthand what this program has to offer. I am interested in furthering my education
through this graduate program and am looking forward to being a part of it.
I have a strong interest in helping others. I have also completed the pre-professional
program and have very good grades, especially in the speech-language pathology
courses. This semester, I also plan on becoming a member of NSSLHA to become
more familiar with my peers in the program as well as to help out around the community
as much as I can.
I am looking forward to meeting with you to further discuss my qualifications for this
program. You can reach me at any time at 318-557-7684 or courtneyleehy@yahoo.com.
I hope you will consider my application into the program and I will make a follow-up call
to check on the status of my application. Thank you for considering me as a candidate.
Sincerely,
Courtney Elizabeth Leehy
