That's great! You said it was your top choice, correct?
Even more excited for you now.Correct!!
have you tried reaching out to them?Anyone else heard anything lately? I think I'm about to lose hope with Chatham.
Thanks for that info! Did you call or email her?So I reached out the person over admissions for the program and she told they have about 20 more invites to send out. My overall GPA was on the borderline of what they accept so if I receive an invite it won't be until close to the interview date. Hope that helps anyone. But if you call im sure she can tell you where you stand.

I just called her. She wouldn’t tell me anything except “invitations will continue to go out today and this weekend but there’s only a handful left. I will also invite up to the day before so just check your emails. If you don’t get anything then you didn’t get an invite”I called her

Hi! I’m very nervous too and this is my first OT school interview! I’ve heard that they do group interview (like 2 students) and there is a writing sample that we must complete during the time of our interview. I’ve heard the questions are pretty basic like why OT? And why OT at Chatham and that we should make sure our answers will stand out. I don’t have much more info though so if anyone else has any more please let us know!Hi everyone! Congrats to those who got interviews and I'll keep my fingers crossed for those who didn't that another even better door will open for you soon! It's a hard process but you're doing great!
I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about what to expect at the interview?? It is this weekend and I am a little nervous! I have only interviewed at one school so far but it was pretty informal. This one seems a little more rigid! Starting to get nervous!!
Yes! I just got to Pittsburgh and the nerves are setting in. I really do not know what to expect with the writing portion?? Do you know what sort of topics they may use?Anyone else who has an interview Saturday extremely nervous?? Because I am!
How do you like Pittsburgh so far? And I don’t know what to expect either! I’m hoping it’s a basic question or it might be a scenario or a GRE essay type questionYes!

What was the Q&A session with current students like? Was it 1 on 1 or a group of people? And was the interview at the end?I interviewed at Chatham last year. They break you down into smaller groups and there's 4 different activities. There is a tour, a writing sample, a Q&A session with current students and then the interview portion. You are in the interview with another candidate and I believe there are two interviewers. I don't remember all of the questions, but some of them were like what does OT mean to you, at what moment did you decide you wanted to be an OT, and why are you interested in Chatham.
Good luck to those of you who are interviewing this weekend. I was waitlisted last year and had to apply again, so I am extremely bummed to not have received an interview this time. I guess these programs become more competitive each year. Good luck to everyone.
They send out all the decisions on the same day, I think the email said around Dec. 31? You will find out if you are accepted, wait listed, or declinedHas anyone heard about acceptance/waitlist/decline from the dec. 1 interview yet?
They said by December 31. I work with a woman who did interviews and she said at least 2 weeks after the interview till December 31 will be first roundsThey send out all the decisions on the same day, I think the email said around Dec. 31?
