I wanted to post in this particular thread because I wanted to get a better understanding and behind the scenes of what a dentist has to deal with in regards to finances, owning a practice (if you have one), being an associate, etc. Just for a little context, I have been practicing dental...

Hi, I live in the NYC area (Brooklyn/Staten Island/Manhattan) and I am looking for a Level II Occupational Therapy fieldwork site starting in January. The only requirements is that it can not be a pediatric setting since I already completed a fieldwork rotation with this population. My...

Hey everyone! I'm starting OT school in the fall and wanted to make a thread so that you guys can discuss the application process together and can all follow each other's progress during this process, ask questions, and support each other along the way! I saw a thread with this same idea a few...

Hello everyone! 🤗 I know that this network is mostly utilized by students, but I'm posting my survey anyway in case there are some practicing OTs visiting. I’m an OTD student in the process of completing my doctoral capstone project on burnout in occupational therapy. I'm investigating what...

I'm currently a Junior Biology major with a minor in Psychology, Healthcare Administration and Chemistry at Texas State University. I plan on taking a leap year after I graduate before I apply to OT school (need to take A&P1+2 and get more observation hours). With that in mind, I was wondering...

Hello! With interviews occurring and upcoming, I thought it would be cool if we could post possible interview questions and unique answers we have had or expect?

Hello, everyone! I am currently doing some research and am wondering what others think about earning your MOT vs. OTD? Obviously the timeframe to earn your MOT is shorter which allows you to get out into the workforce sooner, but why are some of you aiming to earn the OTD?

Can anyone give me some info on what it is like to be in Kean's OT program? Is it good? How do you get placed in fieldwork positions? Do you feel prepared for the NBCOT? Is it worth going there instead of a better known school? What kind of jobs do people get after going there? Any information...

Hey everyone, So i took the GRE for the 2nd time today and my score did not improve. I feel discouraged because I studied so much and I got near the same score once again. I don't feel like I should take it for a 3rd time, seems excessive but should I worry? My scores a 287 with a 4 in writing...

Hi everyone. I am wondering if any of you went to/are attending UIC or Rush for OT and could tell me about your experience. I got into both programs and have been debating between the two for nearly a month, and it is getting very hard to choose!!! I liked Rush because it has a smaller cohort...

Hello everyone! I am reapplying to the MOT programs in Texas. I applied this past year to only one program, UTMB and was waitlisted. I’m not sure if having two incomplete prerequisites had anything to do with it, but I’m currently finishing those up this semester. I am getting in more...

Hi guys! I applied to FIU but I have yet to hear back, I am guessing I did not get in because I read that they conducted interviews this year but I never got called for one. However, I wanted to know if people have received their letters of acceptance yet? Trying to see if there is still hope!

Hi! Is anyone here attending Barry U for the Fall 2018 program?

Hi! I will soon be applying to OT schools and I wanted to gain any input from students who have previously been accepted to different OT programs in Florida like FIU, FGCU, USA, Nova, etc. and maybe any tips they can give me on what/what not to do? Or their current experience in any of these OT...

Hello all, I am looking to submit my personal statement within the next few days. I was wondering how long everyones personal statement was. Mine was a little over 3 pages. I was also wondering if anyone wrote about reasonings for low gpas at any point in their academic career. I stayed away...

I'm debating applying but not sure how difficult the program is to get into? Or what their strengths are as a program. TIA

Hi everyone! As a second year applicant to OT programs, I wanted to start a thread for anyone who has conquered OTCAS and the application process for the second (or third) year in a row. I am nervous, yet super excited to hear back from schools. Last year I applied to SJSU (fairly late - mid...

I am just curious on others input or personal experience regarding titles to those holding doctorate degrees, more specifically in the fields of OT and PT. From my personal experience it seems that those holding a doctorate in PT are more likely to refer to themselves as "Dr. ______" than those...

I am currently a Junior right now. Now I am a little afraid of grad school and how you will intensely study for 2-3 years. Right now, I am not too confident about performing well in grad school, PT or OT. Over the past few semesters, I have been trying to become a better student with no prevail...
