It's still in review for mine.
Still review for me too
Ditto
Some of us live with other students of the cohort. Found through posting in the cohort fb page. We generally live around the Southbay (Carson, Lomita, Torrance, Hawthorne, Gardena etc) area. Make sure to check out the places in person as there are sketchy places at times. Some students have found places to live through craigslist.
November 20th
Congrats! Interesting that your portal didn't change yet. I wonder if that'll be common for upcoming acceptances.
Congrats!! So happy for you!
Oh no 🙁 sorry to hear that! When did you submit your application via Cal State Apply? I wonder if they change the status of all those denied at once? Mine still says the same "sent to dept for review". Thanks for letting us know of your changed status!
Fortunately my application is still in review too
I've been looking at https://my.csudh.edu/, not CalState Apply.
Could I ask you what were your GRE scores ?
I got a USPS letter from CSUDH maybe a couple weeks after submitting my application. It had information about setting up mycsudh account
I emailed them to see what I need to improve for next year... to those accepted I’ll somehow meet you around through my fiancé(he’ll be there, I won’t be in the program but we still partner together in all our work.. we’re like Pierre and Marie curie lol 
).Good luck! You'll get in eventually! This process has been intense.I’m in the same boat as you! My status changed this morning to denied admission too.
I’m off to applying to Westcoast OTD program now, deadline is May 1st.. but I’ll still reapply for next year, with a stronger application, but i will reapply just bc a “no” only fuels my drive even more. I was in disbelief, we were in disbelief and so disheartened BUT this isn’t the end, only the beginning.. I will see you ALL accepted or not in this field.
To those still under review.. hope still glimmers!! Don’t lose hope yet.
Thank you for sharing yours and your fiancé stats with us and always updating where you both were at with the application process for CSUDH. I believe you have a greater chance in getting into West Coast OTD since they interview their candidates, which gives you the opportunity to express how passionate you are in becoming an OT and what you have done so far along this journey. I wish you the best of luck with all your endeavors! And congrats to your fiancé! I hope I get the chance to meet him as my status is still in review.I’m in the same boat as you! My status changed this morning to denied admission too.

Agreed! You really are the best
My stats last year seem really similar to yours, I didn’t get in then either. The main difference between my stats last year and this year was retaking and bumping up my Anatomy and Physiology grades- I didn’t change anything else. My GRE score was 159v 147q 4awa both years. I heard a lot of people don’t get in their first time applying- so I think you are still on the right track!
You guys are ALLL awesome! We're all in this together somehow, someway! Same goals just different journeys. 🙂 I'm most certain we will all cross paths in the field one day.
Interesting observation...though I would have to disagree. I have a few friends from cohort 12 & 13 and they either got in their first try straight after undergrad or waited 2-3 years to apply. It really all depends on each applicant pool. From this pool, it seemed that they accepted first those who had really high GRE & GPA scores (i.e. scores that are 3.7+GPA, & V164+ W 4.5+) The next pool of people were those who had okay to low gpas but really high GRE scores (i.e. 3.2- 3.5 GPA & V157+ W4.5+, with some 4's). Essentially, it comes down to numbers. Other factors could also be their rec letters. We simply do not know. What we for sure know are people's stats.
Did your portal end up changing yet to admitted?
I've also heard lots of people don't get in on the first try. I also agree that it looks like verbal is more important than quant. The info session said the average combined gre score is 305-310. Mines at 308 (154/154) but I imagine they see that as low since my verbal was 154. I have high awa (5), high gpa (3.8), high prereq gpa (4.0), employment history and volunteer history, but still haven't heard back. I imagine that to mean that the verbal score is very important. Either that, or that there have been applicants with similar ot goals as me that had higher scores. I still have some hope, but will be applying to USC as the deadline is in a couple of days.
Ahh i'm going to be out of the country too starting next week. Do you mind sharing your stats?
You are one of the ones I was surprised that didn't get a letter at the beginning. As long as your status still hasn't change in the portal, I believe your a high contender.
Thanks. My status hasn't changed.
Oh wow... You're right. I thought it was the 28th today. I also didn't put on my alarm to go to work today hahaha I'm showing my true colors... at least I made it to work on time. Learning that it all works out in the end. Thanks for letting me know!
It changed to admitted. I got in late and I think if I had more hours I might have been a stronger candidate.
OMG Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you! Wow and you actually got an email! When was the email sent?
Congrats!!! I wonder why they sent an email? What is the date your letter is dated & when do you have to reply by?
