I received an invitation to interview at Eastern Washington on 1/23 and will be attending their interview day on February 25. Does anyone know what their interview days has been like in the past or what kind of questions they ask?

Same!

Also, has anyone else not yet taken the Intro to OT course they require? I'm wondering if I can bypass that requirement...

I haven't taken Intro to OT either. If I'm admitted and plan to attend EWU, I'll take it online through EWU during their spring quarter. It's only 2 credits and it's not very expensive.

Man, you two must have great stats!! I have all my pre-requisites done with pretty much all A's and didn't get an interview.

Oh well, I have interviews with the other schools I applied to.

Anyways, you two should join this fb group started last year. Lots of current students happy to answer questions.

I'm considering declining my Eastern interview after receiving my acceptance to the University of Puget Sound. I don't think I would attend EWU over UPS. Is there a compelling reason to go to the interview? I need to let EWU know my decision by tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat! I haven't heard much about EWU and really had a great feeling about UPS, but I'll still be attending the interview to keep my options open (and EWU's program is a lot cheaper $$$). Have you received any mail from UPS yet after the acceptance call?

I decided to rescind my RSVP to EWU's interview day. When I really thought about what UPS had to offer over EWU, I decided that it wasn't worth my while to attend the EWU interview, especially if someone else could have my spot. Also, I live in CA currently and it wasn't really worth the cost of the trip just for an opportunity to check out another program. The price of UPS is a bit of a concern, but I have heard that UPS students are widely regarded a excellent clinicians because of the hands on training they receiving in the program and most have job offers before they graduate.

I haven't received any mail from UPS yet. I know that they were closed a few days last week because of the weather. I did receive an email with instructions to access my UPS portal, where I received my official offer, but it didn't contain any details.

I got a phone call but no mail yet, either. I came here wondering the same thing.
