Hello,
I’m 19 years old and I’ll be graduating this year in a bachelors of Kinesiology degree from a private university (I’ll be 20 when I graduate because I did Running Start). I am worried my application is not elite enough to be considered for a competitive application for the Eastern Occupational Therapy Master’s program (which I plan to apply to this coming January 1, 2016).
For the GRE, I got 140 on Verbal Reasoning, 141 on Quantitative Reasoning (combined Verbal and Quantitative is 281), and a 4.0 on Analytical Writing. (website says minimum 3.5 on writing for Eastern) I’m planning on retaking the GRE for a better score but I don’t know how much better I can do.
I also have 200 observation/volunteer OT hours in over 10 different populations and settings, a 3.7 GPA in prerequisite courses, GPA 3.6, have great recommendation letters, and a good personal essay.
What are my chances of getting in? I’m only applying to one school, because it’s the only one I want.
I'm on a time crunch turning in my application so a fast reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am a current EWU MOT student. I would encourage you to apply! The great thing about EWU is that they really strive to find well rounded applicants. GPA and GRE are not everything (but they are important). If you have any more questions we have a Facebook page. Here is the link:
