Hi!
Is anyone here attending Barry U for the Fall 2018 program?

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'm so excited ! I interviewed Monday and just got my acceptance E-mail. I'm 3 hours north of Miami. Who else will be commuting?

O wow! Have you talked to the housing dept, or figured any of your travel timing and accommodations out?

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.

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.
 
Congrats on getting accepted! Do you mind sharing what your GPA, prereq GPA, GRE, and observation stats are? Thanks in advanced!
GPA-3.7
PREREQ-3.6
Observation:
40- SNF & Acute
20- Children's
20- Outpatient
I also have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at two Children's rehabs inpatient/outpatient
