Hi! I figured I could make this thread to discuss the process for anyone else applying to Chatham's OTD program currently. Anyone hear anything back from them yet about interviews or any other information?

Hey! I also am waiting to hear back from Chatham. The email said they would start getting back to us like mid-september but I haven't seen anyone else on here who has heard back. Have you heard anything?

I haven't heard anything yet! I was getting worried since they did say mid-Sept but I also haven't seen anyone who has heard anything from them. It's more reassuring to know I'm in the same boat as someone else though!

Hey! I applied to Chatham back in August and still haven’t heard anything either. I was getting worried but I’m glad to see I’m not alone!

Hi guys! I received an interview invitation from Chatham on 10/9. I think they're only just now starting to send out invitations. I hope that helps.

Hi everyone!
Jumping on this thread to see if anyone has heard back yet? I attended the interview on the 14th and anxiously waiting for an update.
 
Hi! The email I received after Interview Day stated that we should hear back on or before December 15th, though that could either be with an acceptance or a notice that they're still deciding, in which case we’ll receive a final decision in January. I probably wouldn't worry until closer to 12/15 (definitely easier said than done haha). Good luck!
 
I just received an acceptance letter via email from Chatham! Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear back!

Congrats to everyone that received an acceptance email! Has anyone received an email stating that their application was still under review? And that a decision won't be made until late January? Here's the exact email that I received-

On behalf of the graduate admission review committee, I want to thank you for attending our virtual OTD interview day. At this time your application remains under review, and you will receive your decision in late January at which time you will either be admitted or waitlisted to the program.

Your continued patience is appreciated, and I hope you and your family have a safe and enjoyable holiday season!

I'm hoping it doesn't mean we're automatically waitlisted, and have to wait another month just to hear that.

I wonder if they sent any rejection letters out yet.. I'd definitely feel better about the email we've received if they have..

I'm wondering the same. If all the spots were taken I thought we would've gotten an email saying we were waitlisted, so theres still hope! goodluck!!!

I got the same email! I feel like we’re basically alternates right now haha! Like if they dont get enough people to put down a deposit/secure their seat by a certain date, then some of us will get in, or get waitlisted.

Uggghhh this is annoying, I hate waiting this long!! Fingers crossed though, I’m wondering how many acceptances they sent out already

The thing I don’t understand is if we are on the waitlist why they just wouldn’t tell us off the bat bc it’s not like they’re getting anymore applications. Maybe they are still looking at all the apps and interviews

Yeah it’s definitely annoying having to wait! Guess we will get news in about a month! hopefully good news!
 
Did you make your decision where you wanna go yet?!
Yes I did! I got accepted into SRU's program in October and accepted it and ended up liking their program more than Chatham's. Good luck on everything!

If I were you I would contact MJ to ask. She said that they will have the full class of 40 established mid February so they may still be making decisions. Best of luck!
