Hi,
Last year was my first year applying to OT programs and I applied to 7 schools. I have been rejected by 6 so far, but I am still waiting to hear from the last school, which I should hopefully hear from next week. This summer I am retaking two courses, Statistics and Intro to Psychology, that I had a C and a C+ in respectively. I registered to take Microbiology during the second half of summer and Chemistry and Nutrition in the Fall. I thought about applying to nursing school in addition to reapplying to OT school, but now I’m not so sure. I know OT is what I want to do, thus I’m debating whether or not to take Micro/Chem/Nutrition or just retake another class that I have a B in and could replace with an A. I also don’t know if I should reapply to the same schools, to all new schools, or to a couple of the same and a couple new. I had a 2.9 undergrad GPA as a the result of some personal health problems, but since I returned to school I’ve had all A’s (AP-I AP-II, Medical Terminology, Abnormal Psyc) except for Physics, which I earned a C (Math IS NOT my subject so I was escatic over the C). I’m looking for schools that look more at the last 45 or 60 credits. I’m just really unsure what to do and where to go from here. I don’t know anyone in the same position and feel like I really don’t have anyone to ask advice from. If you can offer any advice about reapplying, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
