For those who have been accepted already, were you notified via e-mail or a phone call?
 
I was also at the interview, I'm just obsessively checking my email to hear back... I'm guessing by the 18th or 19th would be a realistic date since it looks like the ones who've been accepted thus far have until then to decide?
 
Priority wait list unfortunately. I'm wondering if that is actually different than a regular wait list or they're just calling it that.
 
I declined my acceptance so that should open up a spot for someone! Good luck!

I received/wondered the same thing - I think the "priority" was just added in to make it sound less disheartening, unfortunately...
 
I applied too late to be considered for the first interview. I just received an email tonight saying I have been waitlisted, so I'm assuming they're not holding the second interview. Also, there was no mention of being on a "priority" waitlist, so those on the priority waitlist probably have a better shot at getting in 🙂

Thanks for the update, I appreciate it!
 
Any MOT students at Chatham looking for a roommate starting May or June?
I will be going to UPitt (MOT also) close by and need to find housing lol.
 
Does anyone know if people have been accepted off the wait list yet?

I'm on the "preferred" waitlist and I know that I at least haven't been contacted. Not sure if it's up in this thread but I think someone said that the list isn't really ranked so it's hard to know where you stand
 
I just got an update about a couple spots possibly opening up, did anyone else? Tryin to gauge where I am on the list, or if this was a general email sent to the entire priority group
 
I got that as well. I was really hoping it was to a select few at the top of the list and not the entire list. It could have easily been the entire list though.
 
So I'm gonna guess it was the entire list. Hahaha
 
Today I was informed that I was accepted off of the wait list, but they are giving me until noon tomorrow to respond! I have already put down my deposit to Temple and I'm not sure how to decide...the email did not say how much the Chatham deposit was. Anyone have any idea?

Oh wow that's not a lot of time to make such a big decision! Good luck!

Have you gotten any other information from Chatham?
 
Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Chatham for the Nov. 19 interview? Also, does anyone know if they reject you at the same time they send out interview invitations?

I'm still waiting to hear from them and I don't think they reject you after sending interview invitations. From what I've read on previous posts, it seems like they do the interviews, send out acceptances and waitlist those that are qualified just in case some don't accept. I think that after they fill their seats they'll start sending rejections.
 
I'm still waiting to hear too! Has anyone heard from them??
 
I received an interview invite this morning, but I'm not going to attend because I got into a school that's closer to where I live. Good luck!

Congrats!! I thought they were only holding interviews on Nov. 19th but I guess not. I wonder how many received and invite.

I meant that's when I got the email 🙂
 
@FutureOTs I haven't received anything yet either! I got an email saying they'll be sending out a second round of acceptances near the end of December, so maybe we're in the next round🙂
