Is there anyone in the program now or applying? I am just curious about the Austin campus since it has not been accredited yet but they do have students from the September 2014 class attending
Hey! I actually just had an interview Friday! I guess they only accepted 6 so they did another round of interviews. I was nervous at first about the accreditation but the interview really put me at ease about it all. I really loved the school…now I'm just anxious to hear back if I get in for summer!Hello! I applied for the USA-ATX MOT program last year and went through all of the application/interview steps. I was waitlisted and accepted twice, so I will finally start the program this summer. Did you have any specific questions? The process was very straightforward and they don't use OTCAS, so everything is very direct with the school and with the admissions committee. Good luck
That new building is going to be so great too! Someone said it should be done in August. I hope so!!! It feels like we are cutting it so close, I'm super anxious to find out if I got in or not. I will let you know if I do. I feel like I have a good chance cause they said they admitted 6 and then there were only 9 there for the interview on Friday. I don't want to get too excited though.I agree, I fell in love with the campus and school. I think it's going to be an amazing program and it sounds like you will probably be my classmate soon hopefully they don't keep you waiting long for a response. I'm surprised they only got six people for the summer though
Quick question! How long did you wait before you heard back after your interview?I agree, I fell in love with the campus and school.

It seemed like forever. I interviewed August 8th (for the January start) and was notified that I was waitlisted on September 6th. Around November 12th I was notified of my acceptance. Hope this helps
I GOT INYup, they told us the same thing but as you see it took about a month to hear anything. It is so frustrating and nerve racking to check the portal and email every five minutes just in case. fingers crossed
I already made an fb group https://www.facebook.com/groups/794493847335748/ME TOO ME TOO!!!!!
hi chapsa...so i have a question about the GRE what was your score if you dont mind posting it and how difficult was the test? I really would like to apply just not sure how I will do on the GRE . ThanksHello! I applied for the USA-ATX MOT program last year and went through all of the application/interview steps. I was waitlisted and accepted twice, so I will finally start the program this summer. Did you have any specific questions?

Oh okay, thank you.I don't believe so. The other two locations are accredited, so it is not like it is a new school starting from scratch. Additionally the program has reached the candidacy stage and from what I've researched and understood, AOTA holds their hand through every step. It's very unusual to NOT gain accreditation once you've came this far.
Hello everyone! I am trying to apply last minute for the Spring 2016 class that starts in January. I just found out about this school! I have pretty much everything turned in but I don't take the GRE until August 18th. The advisor told me depending on when they do interviews I could still have a chance. Has anyone gotten an invitation to interview yet and for what date? Do they do more than one round of interviews? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Anyone else invited to interview at the Texas campus Feb 19th? Seems like this thread is pretty quiet, but I'm currently trying to weigh the pros/cons of flying from Cleveland to interview as opposed to the alternative (which I would assume is Skype, haven't heard back yet).
Well it was weird because you don't click a submit button anywhere, I had to call a couple times to check about docs that I submitted a few weeks before the Dec 15 deadline because it wasn't updated online to reflect that they were Accepted after they were Submitted. Everything was sent in by the deadline, but the last docs were Accepted on Jan 20, which I believe was a few days after they finally returned my call saying they were reviewing my app! Kind of unorganized I guessDo you mind me asking when you submitted your application?

Hi all!
I applied for fall 2016 MOT program in Austin. Just received an invite last week for an interview.
Anyone else?
Will you be going to it?Oops, just saw the above comments
yes!, have you decided on whether or not you are going?Will you be going to it?
Well it depended on my work schedule (I only have one coworker so it's hard to rearrange schedules), and I don't think it's going to work out, so I'm thinking I'll opt for the Skype interview unfortunately.yes!, have you decided on whether or not you are going?
yeah, I received an email on the 22nd.did you guys find out about interviews via email? my application wasn't "submitted" for review until this past monday :/
most likely. I was offered a spot to interview on 2/19 but I pushed it back to the march date. The admissions officer said they only have two interview daysDoes anybody know if the February 19th interview day was the first round for MOT fall 2016 cohort ?
Hi! I just started here in May. As far as blended learning goes, it's just a term that faculty is required to use because there's a decent portion of class material online. For example, Skills Practice is blended because the course notes, quizzes, and 1-point practice assignments are online, and we meet in the lab to actually practice & review everything, and our practicals & exams. Anatomy is very intense, there's no denying that, and I'm sure it's the case everywhere else as where. The first Tri it can be a little frustrating when everyone refers to this as PT school (because all but Foundations are with the PTs) but some upper tri's have said that it becomes divided more during 2nd Tri. If you meant blended learning as in classes with the PTs, I personally don't mind it because a lot of the friends I've made are PT, but there seems to be a focus on PT mindset rather than OT when it comes to most professors (that I've encountered so far).Hello! I'm wondering if anyone would care to share info they have on USA's program? I'm interested in thoughts on the blended learning... Are all entry-level MOT programs offered in the blended learning format?
