Hi! I also applied to Dominican and haven't heard back just yet

 

[nmot]

Hi! I haven't heard anything back either. It says we should in February, right?

Hi! I haven't heard anything back either. It says we should in February, right?

That's what it looks like. This is what I got from their website:

"December 2017 - February 2018: Application file review period
Ongoing: Applicant interviews (<- does this mean between now to February?)
February 2018 Notification of admission, priority waitlist, and denials"

Will we get an interview before our notification of admission? Or, will they flat-out reject us once February hits, and we didn't receive an interview yet?

You know, I'm actually wondering the same thing. Hopefully it's the former!

Trying to find info on the MSOT class size at Dominican. Anyone know that number? Interview happens this coming Saturday!

 

[nmot]

How does everyone feel the interview went??

Based on the information from the website, I would assume the class size is between 20 - 30 students (I did recall a graduation rate somewhere in the website, but I can't find it anymore, hahah). The last class had about 27 students, and it's increasing every year.

 

[DCGTOT]

How does everyone feel the interview went??

I felt that I did well in the interview! But, to be honest, it's all up in the air now. Fingers crossed that we'll get in!

 

[DCGTOT]

I just received my acceptance letter! It was rather quick, but I'm excited!

The program is three years, and I like how things aren't rushed. I also like the faculty-to-student ratio. I prefer smaller classes as well.

I received my acceptance yesterday at 5 PM! I had my interview on Saturday. If anyone makes a facebook group please post the link!

Congratulations as well~ YES, SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ONE (I need to be situated in housing for the next two to three years, LOL).

Just received my acceptance letter as well! Congrats everyone!

Hi all,
I'm trying to decide between University of Puget Sound and Dominican. I'm feeling pressured since DU requires a decision 10 days from receiving the acceptance email and I'm still waiting to hear back from one other program! I've been comparing programs and am wondering about the difference in the number of units required (UPS 14.5 and DU 80). Does anyone know why some programs require more units than others? Are there advantages for having completed more units? I'll likely ask the academic advisors for clarification but just wanted put this out there to see if anyone can comment.

Thanks! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend

If you haven’t received acceptances from other schools, I do suggest paying the deposit and confirming your spot at DUC because you don’t want to be out of luck if you don’t get into UPS. During my interview, the reason DUC has so many units is because of the capstone program. They also have almost all the classes that qualify for a doctorate. They are just missing 4 classes. In the end, it is your choice. To play it safe, I would accept, then reject later if you wanted another school, which is what I’m doing. I reserved a spot but waiting on another school as I rather go there.

Thank you for the response! Thats helpful to know about the units. I was accepted to UPS and should hear back from St. Catherine by the end of the month.

 

[wannabee_OT]

Can anyone tell me how much the deposit is to secure a spot?

 

[Tmgonzal]

its 500

 

[nmot]

Submitted my deposit! Officially attending DU!!

I think someone said they made one under "Dominican University of California MSOT - Fall 2018" but I'm having a hard time finding it!

This might be a little late, but UPS has a unique system of counting units. I went there for my bachelors degree. A typical semester class is 1 unit. To convert to standard units, you multiply by four. So a 14.5 unit program would be equivalent to a 58 unit program elsewhere. I am not sure what the rest of the difference is.

I felt a little pressured too, but decided to accept. I am looking forward to attending in the fall.

I can't find it either

If anyone from this thread can offer any tips or advice on how the DU interview went, that would be great! And since most of you are now in your second semester, can you share your experiences?
