I am planning my interview to be next Friday. I was trying to find some information online inregards to the total tuition for 3years. From my calculations it was $135k. is this correct? or is my math wrong?
That's what I calculated too. Slightly less than Creighton.
Yes, I was accepted! Found out todayDid anyone hear back from Drake yet?
That is awesome. I found out yesterday. I got accepted too.Yes, I was accepted! Found out today
Congrats!That is awesome. I found out yesterday. I got accepted too.
Do you remember anyone talking about grant possibilities?Congrats!
I contacted the school/financial aid office, sadly there's no grants/awards for this program.Do you remember anyone talking about grant possibilities?
Is Drake your top choice?
I'm not sure. I would like it to be because I feel honored to have been chosen (plus that white coat is BA) I have to really look at all the pros and cons. The expense is monstrous! I am waiting for UW Milwaukee to come back too, its only a masters but they have issues a letter of intent to start an OTD program. I have an interview at Creighton on Friday which is more expensive but may have more opportunities for aid. They did talk at Drake about working on campus so maybe I could get an assistant-ship.
When was your interview? I had a interview with them on Friday and I'm nervously waiting...Yes, I was accepted! Found out today

Got one last week.
Anyone here attending Drake's OTD program this May?
I am strongly considering it! I am between Creighton and Drake right now! Are you thinking Drake?
I am thinking drake and will most likely be going there.I am strongly considering it! I am between Creighton and Drake right now! Are you thinking Drake?
The big hurdle for me with Drake is the 147.5 credit hours. That's the most I have seen in any of the programs I researched. I am also accepted at St Ambrose, any thoughts?I am thinking drake and will most likely be going there.

To be honest, if I were you I would pick the school that's best for me in the long run. St Ambrose has graduate assistantship, and tuition is lower too. I would check their NBCOT pass rate though. St Ambrose 108k vs Drake 135k is a big difference in tuition.
my question to you is, do you want to take a chance with a brand new program?
The program is being run by a Creighton graduate so I am not terribly concerned and feel that they will want to make sure their first Cohort does VERY well since their accreditation would be at risk before it gets off the ground. The entire school is behind the program and its success so I don't see failure the first year out as a worry. Its the crazy amount of hours that worry me.To be honest, if I were you I would pick the school that's best for me in the long run. St Ambrose has graduate assistantship, and tuition is lower too.

Yeah I'm not worried about being the first class either. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the amount of loans I have to take in order to attend. Coming out with 138k plus room and board while only making about 50-70k a year is what makes me worry.
Hey! Im applying for this years OTD program and i was wondering if anyone can tell me who has been through the interview process what i can expect and what are some possible questions they ask so i can prepare. I got offered an interview this week and i am a little nervous. Thanks!!
