Hello! I was wondering if anyone has received word on invites to interview for Chatham's MOT program yet. I know the last email that I received from them stated "invites may come anytime between now and late November" for an interview day of December 2nd. I'm just anxious and would preferably like to book my travel arrangements ASAP.

Program-Specific Info / Q's Chatham Interviews
- Thread starter OTD21
- Start date
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I live in Texas, and have an interview in Ohio that following Monday the 4th. So if I do get the interview for Chatham, I would need to change my flight to head there and then drive to Ohio. The earlier the better because flight prices keep going up.In the same boat. Still waiting and I live all the way in Florida and would love to book a flight ahead of time while they’re cheaper.
UPDATE: I reached out to the Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions and she told me "invites are going out now through November 20: however, there could always be cancellations, and I will fill those spots up to the day before the interview date. Please continue to watch your email until then."In the same boat. Still waiting and I live all the way in Florida and would love to book a flight ahead of time while they’re cheaper.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if you get an interview 🙂
woohoo!!! Congrats!!! Hopefully I'll hear something soon. If not, I'm still rooting for you. Where else did you apply?Hello! I received an interview invitation this morning!!
Thank you! Do you live in the West Coast? I applied to Murphy Deming, Chatham, Walsh, Creighton, MGH, Shenandoah, Emory & Henry, and Jefferson College of Health Science.Thank so much! I hope you hear back soon!! 🙂 I applied to Samuel Merritt, LLU, Springfield, Wesley, West Coast, ISU. What about you?
Hello! I received an interview invitation this morning!!
Congrats!! When did you submit your application, if you don’t mind me asking?
Yes im from the west coast! I submitted my application September 22. what about you?
i didn’t get my application in until October 6th but Chatham is my top choice! Hope to see you on interview day.
Thank you so much! I hope you hear back soon!! 🙂 I applied to Samuel Merritt, LLU, Springfield, Wesley, West Coast, ISU. What about you?
I applied to west coast and Samuel Merritt too! Have you heard anything yet from either school?
congrats on your interview! Still waiting to hear from them currently. Didn't submit mine until 10/4. This waiting is hardHello! I received an interview invitation this morning!!
I'm with you and didn't submit my application until October. Hopefully we will hear something soon!congrats on your interview! Still waiting to hear from them currently. Didn't submit mine until 10/4. This waiting is hard
Are they sending invites on a rolling basis?I'm with you and didn't submit my application until October. Hopefully we will hear something soon!
From what MJ told me, they're sending them now until the 20th and if they have cancellations they will invite up until Dec. 1. Which is going to be hard for those coming from out of state (like me) to have sufficient time to book travel.Are they sending invites on a rolling basis?
No! This waiting game is so hard!
Right!! I’m from the West Coast too so those are in my top choices. Past years forums show the first people who heard back from Samuel Merritt was between November 6-10th so I’ve been frantically checking my email this week but nothing so far
I reached out via email on Monday and she replied with the information I posted above. If anyone else happens to reach out please let me know what she says. I told her I was coming from Texas and also had another interview on 12/4 in another state and needed to plan. She told me they schedule until the day before.Has anyone reached out to an admissions counselor from Chatham yet? I am getting very anxious and need to make travel plans accordingly.
Does anyone know how many invites they send?

When i attended a tour of the program, they said that they interview about 100 people.
I was just wondering the same thing!! If they let all applicants know whether they got one or not. I don’t want to email them anymore than I already have though, so if someone finds out please share.Does anyone know if they send out declined emails before the interview date as well?

No problem! I applied really early for most of my programs. For Chatham I believe I submitted my application in mid September.If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and what are your application stats?
I graduated from Duquesne University this past May with a bachelor's degree in Psychology.
Still taking human growth and development pre req but I had an overall 3.7 gpa and 3.9 pre-req gpa.
301 math and verbal combined GRE and 5.5 on my writing GRE.
I’m a rehab aide at a hospital in Pittsburgh and have 400+ hours of inpatient/outpatient experience!
How about you if you don't mind me asking?

I submitted my application at the end of September. I have an overall 3.4 GPA and 3.6 GPA for my prerequisites. My verbal GRE was 155, my math was 150, and writing was 4.5. I did my internship at a SNF with about 200 hours. I am a little nervous about my stats just being average though!

I honestly think your stats are fine! Your GRE scores and pre-req GPA are good and you have good experience. It's all so nerve-racking because you never know what these schools are looking for. I'm checking my email everyday - let me know if you hear anything! Where else have you applied?I submitted my application at the end of September.

I applied to Chatham, Pitt, Slippery Rock, Gannon, Shenandoah, Walsh, and Ohio State. Haven't sent in Thomas Jefforson's yet because I am not sure if I would want to go there or not and their app isn't due until February so I have some time to decide and hear back from other schools. I received an interview from Walsh last week for December 1 (day before Chatham's if I get one)!It is so nerve-racking! I know it's only the beginning of November, but I am just so anxious.

That's so exciting! Let me know how things turn out!
Don’t be nervous. I always find people on here comparing their stats to others but, we all really have no clue what the admissions committee is going to look for. We can’t compare our personal story, letters of recommendation or experiences to others. Obviously some schools look solely at grades while others look at applications holistically. Don’t get discouraged 🙂I submitted my application at the end of September. I have an overall 3.4 GPA and 3.6 GPA for my prerequisites. My verbal GRE was 155, my math was 150, and writing was 4.5.

Nope! Someone did get accepted last week though that I know of.Same!!! Hear back from slippery rock yet? That’s one of my top schools
I emailed one of the Graduate School Admissions counselors and this was the reply I received
"Invites will continue to go out until the day before the interview day. For this reason, we do not notify students if they are not invited to the interview day."
Thank you for reaching out to them! So, if we are out of town and get an email the day before we are pretty much out of luck.I emailed one of the Graduate School Admissions counselors and this was the reply I received
