Hi guys! So I have recently been rejected from all 7 of the schools I applied at :( I am finishing my bachelors in May and my prereqs in the beginning of summer. I would really like to reapply to schools for a January '18 start (or May '18.) I am considering reapplying to St Augustine at Florida...

Hey everyone! I have an interview for the MOT program at USA at the Florida campus coming up and I was wondering If anyone could give me any insight on what to expect. Any previous questions asked would be amazing! Also I was wondering if there is an essay? Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I think that I will be attending DUC this coming Fall, however....I am not from the bay area. I have had the worst luck looking into housing for this summer and on. I am hoping to find out from current students/students who will be attending/others from the area, where to find the...

I've gotten denied from 3 schools (Thomas Jefferson, Philadelphia University, and Stockton) and am still waiting to hear back from Seton Hall. My GPA is a 3.338. My GRE is a combined score of Verbal 153, Math 146 (i took it twice and that's the highest score) and 4.0 for writing. My letters...

Hi all! I have been accepted into Brunel University in London and USC in the US. USC is a dream, of course, but it is also very expensive. I did receive a sizable scholarship, but it'll still leave me with about 130,000 in loans if I don't receive any other aid. USC is 2.5 years, and starts in...

Hey everyone! As disappointing/embarrassing as it is to say, it's looking like I may be a gap year re-applicant. (rejected to UIC, St. Scholastica, Puget Sound, Wisconsin Madison; waitlisted at Rush; waiting to hear from Wisconsin Milwaukee, Davenport, Eastern Washington University (had an...

Hey! I am wondering if there are any alum of the Winston Salem State OT program or current students that could tell me a little more about the program? Things you liked or did not like? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I've been waitlisted at 5 schools so far, so what do you think the odds are that I get into one? The schools are Carroll, St. Scholastica, Indiana State, St. Ambrose, and MGH Institute. I've interviewed with 3 of them, so I'm kinda bummed I've been waitlisted. I still haven't...

So I have read a lot of the debates regarding an OTD vs MSOT. I do, however, want to get some feedback about whether a more expensive/longer OTD program would be worth attaining if I want to possibly teach at a university in the future, be more active in administrative positions? I do not really...

Hey! Has anyone interviewed at UAB and would be willing to share what the process was like/questions/what to expect? Thanks!

I have heard absolutely nothing from these three schools, yet I know others have - I applied very early in the cycle to all three programs, and am wondering if this bodes well or if maybe the opposite? I have a promising waitlist position and an acceptance elsewhere, but am curious as to why I...

Hey all, Has anyone heard from East Carolina University's MSOT program? I know their website says they will send out acceptances via email mid-late February, so we are in that window now. Im just impatient and was wondering if anyone has heard??

I just had an interview for the MSOT program at Dominican University over the long weekend, and am hoping to start a thread to find out about admissions decisions! I know that they have finished all the interviews and so it will only be a matter of time before they send out their notifications...

hello! im currently a sophomore in highschool. before i start yes, i am aware there are many differences between being an OT versus and RN, but they are my decisions so far. Im not sure which path would be the right one for me. Im going to be paying for all of my college, so i dont know how...

Hi everybody! I was accepted into LIU's BS/MS OT program and am wondering how loans work since the program starts out as a BS program. Does anybody know how long you are considered an undergraduate student/ does anybody have information regarding loans? My specific concern is that since I will...

Hey guys! I have a Skype interview coming up with Stony Brook University for their OT program. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers or tips? I'm very nervous, so any advice would be helpful! Thanks!!

I applied to Adventist University, Winston-Salem, and Colorado State University. I'm so stressed waiting to hear back. I haven't heard anything at all yet other than they received my applications. Also, does anyone know if Colorado State does interviews? Thanks!

Hello I wanted to start a thread for Touro University Nevada to see where everyone is at. I just received an email from Charles stating that I have been put on the wait-list and wanted to see if there were others who have been told the same thing. My interview was January 5th.

Just out of curiosity - does Pacific University in Oregon (entry-level OTD program) have a white coat ceremony? I know that some OTD/MS do this

Hi everyone, I just heard from the last of the schools I applied to through OTCAS. I applied to 11 schools: Chatham, Sacred Heart, Thomas Jefferson, Touro, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, West Coast University in LA, Stony Brook, MCPHS, University of ST. Augustine for the Health...

Hey everyone. I applied for USA's Fall 17 in FL. The deadline used to be 12/15 but on OTCAS they moved it to 2/1. I am just curious as to if we will have to wait an additional 6-8 weeks now! Today marks week 7 since 12/15 and I am going crazy! Anyone know anything?

Did anyone here have an interview at NYIT? What did they ask and how did it go?

Hi! I was wondering if any current Towson MOT students could give me input on the program? What are the pros/cons, do you enjoy it, etc. Thank you so much!

Hi Guys, I just got accepted into Rush University's OTD program. I really want to attend because I think the school is a perfect fit and is also very well known for its OT program. Moreover, there are no OTD's near where I currently live and I am interested in pursuing...

Has anyone heard back from the program yet? Just curious to know if the first round of acceptances has gone out!

I have an interview Feb 4th for Pacific and I was hoping to find out what exactly the writing sample entails/what to expect from the interview from those that have perhaps gone through the process at Pacific? Very much appreciated!

I sent in my application before the ED deadline because I was done, but am assuming I didn't get in early because my GPA wasn't high enough (3.8 or higher required, what the heck). Just wondering if anyone knows a more specific timeline on that.

Hey! I was just accepted to Touro University's OT program and I have an interview at the University of Utah coming up. I have been weighing the pros and cons of each program and was wondering if anybody else has had any experiences with either school. It is possible I won't get accepted to the...

I'm getting pretty nervous for an upcoming group interview and was wondering if anyone has any insight or tips for what may be to come? I've only ever done one-on-one interviews, so I'd greatly appreciate any knowledge about how they work!

For the the record, I AM taking the GRE (Feb 1st was the earliest I could get) but I don't have high hopes for it as I've had virtually no time to study for it recently and haven't done stellar on the math part of the practice ones back when I took a GRE prep course. Up until very recently I was...

:) Please comment below if you have applied, have heard anything, and your stats if you want to share. I applied on deadline date but received a confirmation that all my transcripts were received. Also if anyone currently attends CU, what are your thoughts on the school, cost and overall...

Hey guys! I have accepted a spot at Allen College and I wanted to see who else has! I'm really excited and also looking for a possible roomie. It's me and my puppy (lab collie mix, hes perfect). Renting a house is dirt cheap ($500/mo) for two bedrooms.

Hello! I have just completed my first college semester, and am currently enrolled in the 3+3 PT program offered at my university. Over the holiday break I decided to start shadowing, but had the opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time observing Occupational Therapists as well. I...

Anyone have any comments or input about these programs? Which campus is the best? Are the overall good programs?

Hey everyone! Do any current or graduated students of FGCU or UAB have any input on these programs? I have heard some not so good things about FGCU (disorganized) and was wondering if this is true/has it changed? Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

What are some common interview questions you've come across in applying to OT programs? It would be helpful to brainstorm sample questions together :)

Hey everyone! So I have accepted a spot at Allen College for their MOT program :) I HIGHLY recommend applying they are a fantastic group of people. They don't just look at your gpa they look at you as a whole person. Anyone else going there that has been accepted?! University: University of...

I interviewed at the beginning of December and was accepted to the Mary Baldwin/Murphy Deming OTD program. I am hoping to connect with other students who have been accepted to the 2020 OTD (or PT) class
