I was kicked out of OT school 3 years ago due to failing the first two five-day fieldwork rotations. Now that some time has passed, I am wanting to go back to school either in a rehab-science field or in a different field such as nursing. I am worried that my failed OT school past will severely limit which programs will accept me, even if I decide to pursue nursing instead of anything in rehab science. I was just wondering if anyone on here has any advice on how I can best present my failed grad school experience in a positive light when explaining it on applications to the programs that I am currently considering. Is it best to just call admissions counselors and explain the situation up front while asking them if I'd stand a chance or to just send in as many applications as possible while hoping for the best? Should I re-take undergrad classes to show them that I can still study, or would that be a total waste of time? Also, if anyone else on here has had a similar experience, I'd love to know what you did with your post-OT school life and how you presented being kicked out of OT school on your applications to other programs if you decided to continue your schooling somewhere else.
