I'm scared to make that big move. I live in Kansas. What's your stats??? I notice they have two deadline dates. I'm kind of scared. I haven't heard good things about Michigan but you have to see things for yourself.
Oh ok I never lived in the surroundings of Michigan...What's your stats? I feel like I'm not a strong applicant however I have a lot to offer. My gpa is about a 3.0. I worked with children since 2003 but worked with children with special needs since 2010. I have 63 hours of observation hours in three different settings. I guess if I don't get in. I will take the gre.
That's in Detroit?? How many schools have you applied to??? Did you take the GRE??? What's your undergraduate in?? I undergraduate was in health service management. I want a rehab aid job that's why I'm taking a CNA course. I don't know...Its so competitive. I applied to Creighton University. I'm hoping to get into there. If I don't I will try Tennessee State University, Milligan College, Cox College, and some other schools.
Wow 12 that's a lot!!! You have a lot of options. I wish I should of applied to so more schools but I'm scared of moving.....lol.....
Are you done with all of your pereqs. I'm scared because I'm currently enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology......it's going well....
It gets cold in Kansas we just had a snow storm not too long ago. I'm worried about the crime in Michigan and the job market. I lived in a big city before (Dallas Texas). What is the job market like??? Davenport has two deadline. One in January and one in May. I was in the process of applying to GVSU but stop my application when the admission counselor said the school weighs heavy on the gpa. I know gpa is a factor but why not look at the whole application??
I've applied to Abilene Christian University but I don't think I will be getting in because I'm not done with Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 with six other classes to boost my gpa to 3.02......So I don't know however I've worked with children since 2003 and I've worked with children with special needs since 2010. So I don't know. I know some people are applying who have 3.87. So I don't know. Last time I checked there were 60 applicants.
Ok yeah. I've never lived in Michigan so I'm scared if I do get in. I just need to find a part time job while I'm in the program. I hope they have dorms because I'm not looking to get into apartment.
@Makingmoves2014 Don't give up! They said they might accept more than 22 this year. 60 applicants was definitely more than I expected though, yikes!! And hopefully the people with a 3.87 GPA will get into another school as well, lol!
They said they will take more than 22. I'm just scared because My overall gpa right now is a 2.83 but I'm taking 10 classes with this semester and most of them are science courses that will boost my gpa over 3.0. I'm taking anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 and physics in the summer. I'm just scared because my gpa is not good however I've have been working with the public since 14. I've worked with children on an Air Force base. I have a special needs child in my classroom and she has improved tremendously. My gpa might not be competitive but I've have great letters of recommendations. I've heard people with gpa lower than 3.5 get in over people who have a 3.8 gpa. I just so stressed................discourage to the max right now.
Well I'm you are right about that because they emailed me because they are reviewing my transcript in they overlooked that I've completed Medical Terminology.....So I had to email them back about it. Yeah they also said they look at the whole application. Do you live in Michigan?? Did you apply to other schools?? Is this your first time applying?? If I don't get in I'm going to do the OTA to OT route....or Speech language Pathologist Route.....Its been nerve wrecking!!!!!
I got an email a couple weeks back saying they were just beginning to look over applications and schedule interviews, but I haven't heard anything since. I also haven't taken Pathophysiology, so that's probably not helping my application. I only planned on taking the course if I got accepted, but it's getting pretty late to still do that. But it was a last resort school for me anyways, mainly because of the cost.
The school is kind unorganized........They have two applications deadlines.........
I don't think having two deadlines makes them unorganized. It is pretty normal and especially makes sense for a new program. But as a new program they obviously still have a lot of details to work out.
That's interesting. After I talked to them I got the impression they were going to make decisions based on their first round of applicants and look at the second round as space was available. Although, I didn't ask anything specific. They also mentioned trying to move the process along quickly as they know they have a lot of eager applicants.
I didn't mean that their unorganized by have two deadlines....its just confusing when I speak to people in admissions saying that I have missing documents. My admission counselor cleared that up for me. Has anyone heard of Kettering College which is in Dayton Ohio. They are in the process of having an OTD program. I'm also applying there too. Sorry about the confusion.

I'm form Kansas!! I live in the Wichita area! What part of Kansas do you live. I also applied to Davenport but was rejected and my application will be moving on to the next application date. What are your stats. My stats aren't great but I do have mostly A's and B's in my prereqs.
congrats..can you share more about ur stats...sceience GPA/pre req GPA.?
Yes, I applied through OTCAS. For most programs there is only one correct way to apply, but I think they may be more lenient considering they are still figuring things out too.
thanks. what do you think of the Daveport program?
I honestly can't say much about Davenport's program. It's also hard to comment considering this is their very first class. I would talk to other people who attended non-accredited school, I feel like you may find a common theme of pros and cons.
