Is anyone plannning to call today??
Do you know for sure that they are calling everyone today? Its getting later in the afternoon so I'm getting nervous that I won't get a call, of course if they're doing it alphabetically I would be on the end of the list.
I am getting nervous too! hopefully they are just calling people not in the surrounding area who would have had to wait til next week to get their letters.
Hey all, found out I'm on the waitlist. Good luck!!
I just emailed Mary from UW and thought I would share this with everyone here:
1. Deadline to accept their offer is March 29 with no extensions
2. Tuition would be 16,212 plus 4,861 this year and with about 4% increase the second year
3. Plan to be in school from 8 to 4:30 from Monday - Friday
Those who got in should receive a letter from the program either today or tomorrow with those information on them.
When did you email her?? I emailed her last week and haven't heard back from her yet... Are you emailing the [email protected]?
Where are you headed OTLove?
Is anybody here applying to Washington schools this year?
I'm getting ready to turn in my application for UW and UPS.
I applied to UW and UPS as well, and have not heard anything. Do you know if being an out of state applicant has any influence on the admission decision? I heard EWU chooses in state residents more than out of state and didn't apply there.
EWU's website said applicants will be notified if they're invited to a March interview 3 weeks after the Jan 15 deadline, which was last week. Hoping we hear back soon!
Hi there! I am not an applicant- but I am anxiously awaiting hearing anything for a loved one. Has anyone heard from ewu or pacific?Just contacted Carrie the admissions advisor, she said they are hoping to notify applicants this Friday about the interviews. She said it has taken them longer than normal to go through the applications but their goal is Friday.

I am going to remain hopeful that all the invites aren't out yet.
Just got a rejection from EWU via email. You all should be hearing from them too.
Can anyone else tell me if the message below is generic? The email said it was specific to my application but it sounds... off. I mean, there was nothing wrong with my GPA.
"Your application has been carefully reviewed and it is their opinion that following through with the items below would help strengthen the competiveness of your application.
Increase your overall cumulative grade point average (GPA) (last 60 semester graded or 90 quarter graded credits).
Retake any prerequisites that are below a 3.0 and consider retaking others to increase your prerequisite GPA score.
Rewrite your application essay. Make sure it captures the interest of the reader and has a relatable quality that the reader would find powerful and impactful. Consider using OT language and language of the healthcare environment in your essay to describe your volunteer experience and settings that you have observed. Write clearly identifiable points based on the essay question(s). "
Has anyone contacted Mary at UW recently to see when we are likely to hear back?

Hi!
I received the exact email from EWU... I'm relieved that it is a form email. I was pretty happy with my essay, and it made me nervous about my chances at my other schools. I looked back at an older forum and someone said they talked to Carrie about how to make their app better for this cycle and she said to retake prerequisites to bring up GPA... This person had a 3.7! Mine is only a 3.4 so I doubt my essay was even read.
Good luck !
Right?? I love how it said that our applications were "carefully reviewed" and this is how it can be stronger next year, too bad they don't give real feedback and stop wasting everyones time! I did an academic update in Dec., so I think it was considered finished, I really think my GPA was too low for their standards. I wish I would have found that post from last year sooner, I wouldn't have wasted the $150.00!! Where else have you applied? I'm waiting to hear from UW (Seattle) and CSU, I also applied to a school in England...I've been at this for too long to try again next cycleHaha, good to know yours was the same! It's really too bad they feel the need to imply that the email is somehow personalized when it isn't. I honestly don't see the point, unless it's to imply that the higher-than-average supplemental application fee was put to good use.
Did you have prerequisites in progress? I did and I'm betting that has the most to do with it. (Been too busy lately to call and verify that theory.)
Anyone heard from UW today?? I've been checking my email every thirty minutes.... This process is such a lesson in patience!!I called the OT office this AM. It sounds like Mary retired this year so she is no longer there to answer questions. I spoke with another woman who was very helpful and she said that acceptances would be emailed on March 12th. It sounds like it may take them another few days to get in touch with people they waitlist or reject.
I have been obsessively checking my email too! Nothing yet... This is agonizing!Anyone heard from UW today?? I've been checking my email every thirty minutes.... This process is such a lesson in patience!!
