Has anyone else heard back today from the March 4th interview?That's strange. I applied in August as well and didn't hear anything until November 3rd I think about at December interview.
No they require an on site interview
Did you ever end up finding a Facebook group for admitted students?!
I interviewed on March 4th and called them after seeing your post. I was told that all decisions had not yet been made and it would be another 2 weeks.I interviewed on March 4th and just got an email that the campus pathway is currently full, but there are still spots available in the GO pathway! So I'll be submitting a supplemental application to that
Have you informed Creighton that you will not be attending? And out of curiosity which program will you be attending?
Yes I notified them shortly after my acceptance in March. I will be attending St. Scholastica instead, they were my top choice.
I would just like to add that there is room and opportunity for MOT graduates to go beyond the clinical field in administrative areas, if they are willing to work for it. Just having a doctorate over MOT would mean nothing if one person has experience in administrative health care. I see many people getting their doctorate to pursue academic jobs and research eventually which is great! And also to note on your comment that there might be a pay difference in the future is sort of a hopeful statement. Current OT's that have just their bachelors in OT (as a masters degree did not use to be required) are paid the same as OT's with their masters. If the field moves forward and eventually requires a doctorate, the OT's who previously received their masters are very unlikely to receive less pay for that reason. I haven't heard of anyone suggesting that there will eventually be a significant pay difference, in fact all the OTs who I worked with are encouraging MOT because there isn't for those who would like to work in s clinical setting. As Juliana stated, entry level doctorate programs, like creighton, are not equivalent to a PhD. There isn't too much of a difference between MOT and doctorate at this point in time. Usually doctorate level programs tend to add a few areas worth discussing, but are not necessary essential for every students need (i.e. Research). This is by no means meant to bash Creighton or its reputation! I've heard wonderful things about the program and opportunities for their students! I just wanted to add in that getting a doctorate does not mean you will have more opportunities and more pay in the future, as the two degrees are not that different and one is not better than the other. It truly depends on what you want out of this field and the experience you gain.
