Also rejected. May have something to do with running late on turning everything in.
MakingMoves, just work on strengthening your application in different areas. More observation hours, retake classes, take more advanced classes that just a few schools require but that look good to the schools who would have you take those classes in your first year of school (neuroscience, advanced anatomy/cadaver, biomechanics, medical ethics?)
And take time to think hard about what is your burning passion for OT ? Not just thinking its a high paying, growth career with high job satisfaction that sounds like its better than the alternatives. In my case, it is that I like working hands on helping people face to face, one on one. I also believe that physical rehabilitation that allows people to stay active throughout the latter part of life is key to preventing many obesity/inactivity related illnesses - the ones that are causing skyrocketing healthcare costs. Also, my somewhat unsatisfactory experiences with being a Physical therapy patient make me want to approach things differently and try ways of tracking/improving long term outcomes.
Please nobody plagiarize what I just said, just think about what speaks to you in OT and how you would express it in an interview that would make your passion show through. In my case, if I won the lottery I would probably still go and do some form of formal rehab science degree, then self-fund health promotion and research.
