I'm waitlisted at ATSU for their masters OT program for Fall 2017. Is there anyone else waitlisted? And is there anyone who is accepted but will not attend?

I was invited for an interview in mid November, but didn't have my interview till Feb. 9th and notified on the 14th that I was waitlisted. This years class was full before my interview I believe in mid January.

I also interviewed on February 9th and was waitlisted. I applied in early October and was invited to interview in November. Were you in the morning or afternoon interview? I interviewed for the masters program. I guess the class was full before January 10th.

I applied in October as well. I had my interview in the morning. And you?
The wait sucks! But I guess we will find out any day now up until June.

My interview was in the afternoon. I agree, the wait is agonizing! I'm waiting to hear from ATSU and a few other schools. :nailbiting:
 
I submitted my secondary application to ATSU in January, and haven't heard anything since! I've gotten into another program, but am just wondering what the approximate timeline is. If I haven't been offered an interview yet, should I give up hope?

I was in the same boat and I checked my application online and there is a note saying that the class is full and if spots open they will interview. Nice of them to personally email us huh? -__-

But so grateful to be accepted into my 2nd choice!

You're also waiting on Touro right? I live in Las Vegas so it would be nice to not have to move. I did love the campus and faculty at ATSU, and it was my second choice as well! I'm just so thankful to be accepted because I know they have a large waitlist! 🙂
 
Yes I am 🙂
I have family there also so it would definitely be convenient for me to attend Touro.
Touro is on spring break till the 19th so maybe we will hear from them afterwards.
