Hi everyone! So happy to have found this website. This will be my 2nd year applying to OT schools- so I am super super nervous that I will get denied again. I am from Michigan. I applied to SVSU and WMU last year and got denied from each. Since then I have retaken a couple courses- but still contemplating retaking more this fall semester. I haven’t submitted to OTCAS yet but here are my stats I calculated:
Average Cumulative GPA: 3.45
Pre req- 3.5~
GRE scores-147, 145, 3.0
OT shadow hours- Over 100
I am planning on applying to about every school in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. (expensive, but better than waiting another year) Some of my schools I would be most interested in are Indiana University, OSU, Indiana Stata, university illinois at chicago, Grand valley, SVSU, University of findlay, Huntington university and Walsh university.
Here are my questions for you:
1) Should I retake the GRE? Not every school requires it, but again I am trying everything I can to get in. Is it worth it in your opinion?
2) Wayne State University requires 3 classes I have not taken (can be pending if I take them this fall) Is it worth it to take 3 extra classes for 1 or 2 schools?
3) In everyone else’s opinions- do you think this application cycle will be easier to get accepted into due to COVID? Do you think less people will apply? (Hopeful this could be the case)
If you made it this far- thank you for reading! I have such a passion for the field and am afraid if I get denied again I will give up on this career path.
