General Admissions & OTCAS Barry University Fall 2018

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi! I had my interview 2 weeks ago. When did you hear you were accepted? Fingers crossed. I really hope I can attend.
 
Rather, when did you interview and how long did it take to receive your acceptance? I’m nervous I feel like it’s taking too long for me..

Don't think so. If you start one link it please! And I wish I could take it at FAU, it's too far 🙁

I have not talked to anyone. I am planning on staying in a hotel Friday-Sunday. So I'll be in Miami Friday afternoon until after class Sunday.
 
Hello! I just got my acceptance letter today! I'm trying to decide if I want to take Kinesiology at Barry or FAU.

O okay, I'm considering the same. Although I want to see how much it would be to stay on canpus, because the hotels add up so fast.

If you talk to someone, could you let me know what they say? I'll be at the school on campus in about two weeks, so I'll talk to then too then. I can tell you what they say, if you like.

I'm extremely excited too! I can't wait to meet all of you. This is a bit of a personal question but are you guys all taking loans for grad school?
 
So I’ve just been accepted! It’s my only option, but I’m iffy about accepting the offer! I’m about to graduate with my undergrad this May and possibly jumping right into this program. Is anyone else in the same boat? Also is anyone living in Miami? If I went here I think I’d want to. Last question— did anyone tour the classrooms for the OT department? When I had my interview, I didn’t see much! I’m wondering what it’s like.
