Hi Everyone!

So I was recently accepted to the MSOT program at American International College, which I am very excited about it. I previously heard back from the other five programs I applied to and unfortunately I did not get into any of those programs, which I was super upset about. I started looking into getting a job for a year to take time off and gain experience and then reapply for the next cycle.

I have only heard limited things about the program at AIC and with my own research still have not heard much, which makes me really worried. Has anyone else been accepted and know more information about the program?? Trying to decide whether to take a year off or take this opportunity that I have and start school now. Any information will help, thanks!!

Congrats on your acceptance! I'm currently an OT student at AIC and will be completing my first year in the next 2 weeks! It was also very hard for me to find info about the program on here prior to attending. Feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to answer any specific questions you might have about the school/program.

Hi, my name is Ashley. I have also been accepted into the OT program at American International College. As you had mentioned, I was also waitlisted to a few other schools as well. I live in New Jersey so I will be renting an apartment off campus since the school doesn't offer on-campus housing for graduate students. Based on the reviews I have found so far, the area doesn't seem to be the safest. Have you found anything on housing? Do you live close by Springfield or have you visited the campus yet?

Hey Ashley! Congrats! I have also been accepted into the OT program at AIC. I live in NYC Lower East Side so its really not too far from NJ through the Holland Tunnel. I am honestly a bit nervous about the environment. I went to AIC for a visit today around the neighborhood (about 2 hour drive) and I was to be honest, about to have a nervous attack. I would've thought the environment wouldn't be as bad as where I am currently living in but I was wrong.. maybe its because I am really unfamiliar with Springfield. AIC is probably the only school I got accepted but I am also currently on the wait list for Bay Path University. I have no idea how my living situation is and I really wanna hear back from Bay Path also..

Have you thought on your living situation?

Hello I have been accepted as well. I've spoken to other students and they love the program.

Hello! Have you made your decision yet?
 
Hey! Has anyone seen a FB group yet for accepted students? I want to find some way for all of us to connect with each other!
 
Hi everyone, my name is Yumi. I'm from Westchester, NY (suburbs of NYC) and I will be attending AIC this coming fall.
If anyone needs another housemate or wants to connect up before the semester begins, please message me! We can chat over coffee 🙂

Otherwise, does anyone know where most of the MSOT students live? I've heard Agawam, East Longmeadow... and that Northampton is nice but kind of far about a 30 min drive to AIC's campus?
I just prioritize feeling safe wherever I live so that's my main concern.

Hi Guys! I got accepted to AIC this upcoming fall. I haven't applied to any other schools around my area NY/NJ so I'm a little bit worried. I basically have no option but either to accept or apply again for the next cycle. I live in New Jersey and work in NYC. I would love to chat to anyone so I can get more information. If anybody can me add me on the group chat. You can also DM me 🙂
